Unmesh Desai, a London Assembly member and former human rights lawyer, will be reinstated to the Labour Party following his administrative suspension due to a police investigation that cleared him of any wrongdoing. Though he didn't disclose details about the investigation, Desai expressed concerns over media speculation and the impact of public allegations before any charges were filed against him. He maintained his innocence throughout the process, emphasizing the importance of privacy before any charges were levied. His reinstatement is anticipated within the week.
Mr Desai confirmed he had been the subject of a recent police investigation, which had ultimately cleared him of any wrongdoing.
I maintained my innocence without any legal advice. I have today been informed that police are taking no further action in my case.
I was saddened that certain media outlets... have linked my name to this investigation before I was ever charged with any offence.
Allegations like this spread like wildfire across the internet. In my case, there were very good reasons for pre-charge privacy.
