MI5's chief apologized after a High Court ruling found that a senior spy provided false evidence in three cases involving a neo-Nazi informant, known only as X. This informant had threatened his girlfriend and attacked her with a machete. The High Court criticized MI5 for its unsatisfactory explanations and requested a tribunal to explore possible contempt of court charges. Despite prior attempts by the government to suppress the informant's story, details emerged, although his identity remains hidden as he has reportedly left the UK.
The High Court ruled that MI5's explanations about the senior spy's misleading evidence were unsatisfactory, leading to potential contempt of court proceedings.
Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, issued a full apology for the misleading evidence provided in court regarding a neo-Nazi informant's actions.
The neo-Nazi informant, known only as X, used his status to threaten and attack his girlfriend, a situation further complicated by MI5's handling of the case.
Investigative actions against the neo-Nazi informant included the filming of an attack on his girlfriend, which became a focal point of the controversy.
