I would argue that somebody who is non-co-operative, who does not co-operate with the investigation, is different from somebody who actively frustrates an investigation. There could be instances, for example, and this could be a contravention in itself, where people could do certain things to put documents beyond reach and so on. It is not just about non-co-operation but about actively frustrate investigations.
