"We have been extremely clear we will be unrelenting in our approach to tackling issues at Charing Cross, and anywhere else across the Met. This fresh matter came to light through our internal reporting mechanisms and we continue to encourage and support all our officers and staff to report allegations of criminal and conduct behaviour so we can act swiftly."
"Professional standards officers immediately acted to make the arrest and the officer has been suspended from duty. We will not hesitate to take rapid action around any further allegations, as part of our deeper probe into corruption and ridding the Met of those who are not fit to serve the people of London."
"Met officers were secretly filmed by reporter Rory Bibb who got a job in the central London custody suite making racist and sexist comments, calling for immigrants to be shot and bragging about using violence against suspects."
A serving Metropolitan Police officer was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice linked to matters disclosed in an undercover TV documentary and has been bailed and suspended. The alleged incident occurred at Charing Cross on October 2, the day after BBC Panorama aired, and the Independent Office for Police Conduct has been informed. Met officers were secretly filmed making racist and sexist comments, calling for immigrants to be shot and bragging about using violence against suspects. Nine serving officers, one ex-officer and a designated detention officer face gross misconduct investigations and the entire custody team has been disbanded and relocated while inquiries continue.
