Top cop hides graft

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy, could it?

Sir Ian Blair faces a new investigation after whistleblowers accused the already embattled Metropolitan Police Commissioner of turning "a blind eye" to corruption allegations surrounding murdered Special Constable Nisha Patel-Nasri.

It has emerged that in 2003, three years before her husband plotted the murder, the Met had been alerted to a possible corrupt association between the couple and a senior officer.


Hmmm...

The tip-off came from a police sergeant in another force who sent three detailed reports to the anti-corruption unit, which was then under Sir Ian's command.

One report warned that the couple were running a prostitution racket and had boasted of having protection high up in the police.

An IoS investigation can reveal that a senior officer based at Scotland Yard was named in the second report. It said he had provided confidential information about a client of the couple's escort agency, Seventh Heaven, who owed money.

However, the claims were not investigated. And lawyers for Fadi Nasri, who was convicted of his wife's murder in May, say that anti-corruption detectives never questioned him.

Now, a whistleblower who worked on the murder inquiry claims she was told not to research the corruption allegations.


And of course:

Sir Ian is already under investigation by the watchdog following allegations of improper links with a businessman who was awarded Met contracts.


Wonder how many other skeletons are in this sanctimonious cunt's closet?

So, who's voting for some lower-order copper being scapegoated, and who's voting for Ian carrying on with the tough decisions necessary for the improved production of tractors by the police? Because you know he's not going to go, don't you?

Ah well, fingers crossed that the senior officer is that chap who's suing Ian Blair for race discrimination.

'Shut up and get on with the job' is incitement to hate?

Yes, I suppose it is. Every time the Brown Gorgon says he's 'getting on with the job', I hate him more. He's inciting me to hate him. I wouldn't have done it otherwise.

I'm really torn on this case. I don't want either of them to win it.

And my remote-controlled Slap-o-Matic is still at the design stage too. Better get that thing built.

Oh yeah.

I read the whole thing in one go and commented at the bottom.

In mitigation, I have beer, and a late start tomorrow.
