Police who leaked Damian Green pornography details could face prosecution
Two former police officers accused of leaking details about the discovery of pornographic material on the Commons computer of Damian Green during a police raid have been warned they could face prosecution.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said Scotland Yard had referred the two retired officers to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) over possible breaches of data protection legislation.
The move came amid a furious backlash from Tory MPs after Mr Green was dramatically sacked on Wednesday after admitting he made “misleading” statements claiming he knew nothing about the discovery of the material during a 2008 investigation into Home Office leaks.
