MI5 Concedes It Lied to Courts in Neo-Nazi Informant Abuse Case
MI5 has formally accepted that it provided false evidence to three UK courts regarding the status of a neo-Nazi informant who abused his partner. The security service acknowledged that senior officers lied about adhering to the 'neither confirm nor deny' policy, which had previously shielded the informant from legal scrutiny. While MI5 argues against contempt of court proceedings, citing ongoing reforms and apologies, a panel of senior judges is currently reviewing whether to initiate unprecedented legal action against the agency and its officers.
