IPCC to independently investigate Nottinghamshire Police over disclosure of material in environmental protest case

The IPCC has decided to undertake an independent investigation into the alleged failure by Nottinghamshire Police to disclose relevant material to the Crown Prosecution Service in this case.

 

Discussions are ongoing with other bodies as to any further involvement of the IPCC in other enquiries resulting from this case.

IPCC Commissioner Amerdeep Somal said: “We have now assessed the referral from Nottinghamshire Police of a specific issue around disclosure relating to this high-profile case. After assessment, I have decided we will look independently at whether Nottinghamshire Police met their obligations under relevant procedures to disclose evidence to the CPS in this case.”
