Unless Peter tells us, we shall doubtless never know.

Fudge would certainly reply "Acting on information received that a senior
Death Eater was loose at .... (location), we proceeded to the scene and
apprehended one Sirius Black, Secret Keeper for the Potters and therefore
guilty of revealing their location to one T M Riddle alias Lord, um, Thingy.
His guilt on this and also his wilful murder of one Peter Pettigrew was
confirmed by eyewitnesses whose memories we have conveniently erased and he
was removed to Azkaban Prison for indefinite detention."

and who could deny that?
