In 2011, when the last Daniel Morgan prosecution failed, Acting Commissioner Tim Godwin told the Metropolitan Police Authority that the first investigation into my brother's murder had been "tainted by corruption" /1
And that over many years the Met had failed to face up to that corruption. This was a courageous statement, in my view, but we felt the corruption had extended much further than the first inquiry. And that ignoring corruption is *per se* corruption. /2
Tim Godwin belonged to an organisation who will do almost anything, in my view, to "protect" its reputation. Including victimising whistle-blowers, lying, smearing, delaying, obstructing scrutiny etc. etc. He was brave.
It was also the first time in history that the Met had publicly admitted corruption.
So this Panel report is important to all of us.
