The Metropolitan police has decided not to launch a criminal investigation against Martin Bashir, who has been accused of using false theories and forge documents to manipulate Princess Diana into giving the infamous BBC Panorama interview.
An investigation was started into the matter after a report in the Sunday Times in October 2020, which alleged that Bashir showed two false bank statements to Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, citing that a member of his staff was being paid to leak information about their family, thus gaining his trust and access to the British royal. However, following the months-long probe, Scotland Yard police has decided that it won't be "appropriate" to begin a criminal investigation against the journalist, reports People.
