Senior Scots cops accused of handing over details of undercover officers to organised crime gang
14.04.2024 - 03:49 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Two senior detectives have been suspended over claims they leaked the details of undercover officers to a organised crime gang.
The men, believed to be part of Police Scotland’s Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit, have been accused of handing over the names and photographs of their own colleagues carrying out covert surveillance to underworld sources.
The Sunday Mail can reveal that a major inquiry has been launched into the claims which focus on the Scottish Police College at Tulliallan in Fife.
Several addresses across central Scotland have been raided as part of the probe which is being led by the force’s internal Professional Standards Department (PSD).
One of those addresses is understood to include accommodation used by one of the two suspects at the police training college.
A source said: “These are highly trained cops who only target organised crime groups and terror cells and use high level covert surveillance methods to gather intelligence to pass onto colleagues.
“Their operations are expensive and time consuming and their identities are kept a closely guarded secret for obvious reasons. If the allegations are true then these officers have been seriously compromised.”
It’s understood the alleged rogue officers had access to intelligence databases containing sensitive information about police personnel, including photographs.
The PSD - equivalent to the the anti-corruption unit AC-12 on the BBC’s TV show Line of Duty - investigate complaints from members of the public about officers conduct and probe allegations of criminality and corruption within the police.
Their investigation is at an early stage as they establish the truth of the claims against the two suspended detectives. Both have not yet been charged
