MI5 concedes it supplied false evidence in neo-Nazi spy case

MI5 has admitted it provided court evidence based on lies in a case involving a violent neo-Nazi informant who abused his partner; a damning Goldring report found serious and systemic failures and dishonesty by officers. The BBC’s investigation prompted inquiries, and the case is being reviewed for potential contempt of court, though authorities argue public interest favors not pursuing it. MI5 apologized, pled reforms under director-general Sir Ken McCallum, and saw one officer resign while another was suspended.
