Scotland Yard DCI who inspired Prime Suspect cries as she recalls abuse after fighting corruption

Former Detective Chief Inspector Jackie Malton, 70, was speaking in new BBC documentary series Bent Coppers. The three-episode series tells the story of institutionalised corruption in the Metropolitan and City of London police in the 1970s. Ms Malton retired from the Met in 1997 after a 30-year career before going on to advise producers of police television shows. Prime Suspect creator Lynda La Plante spoke to Ms Malton for hours to create no-nonsense officer DCI Jane Tennison. The character was portrayed by Helen Mirren in the long-running show before La Plante released a book of the same name. Speaking in the final Bent Coppers episode, which airs tonight, she told how everybody just stood up and walked out after she entered the police canteen following the suspension of a fellow officer suspected of planting drugs on suspects.

Britain on the Road to Kleptocracy

April 22, 2021 By Patrick COCKBURN I used to meet businessmen in the Middle East who were in a state of high anxiety about their chances of winning a government contract. They were naturally reluctant to spell out the details, but they hinted that their chief worry was whether or not the official they had bribed to get them a contract would, in the event, be willing or able to do so. They took it for granted that I knew that nobody successfully did business with the governments in question without paying off somebody inside it. I was in Iraq and Afghanistan when the government system in both countries was saturated with corruption. Britain may not yet be at the same place, but it is much further down the road to kleptocracy than most people imagine. For all the finger wagging about the current scandals, the words and phrases used to describe them – chumocracy, revolving doors, cronyism, conflicts of interest, sleaze – all understate the seriousness and corrosiveness of

The ORIGINAL Line of Duty: How 1970s Scotland Yard chief took on bent detectives

Interested in one thing, and one thing only , Line of Duty s Ted Hastings leads the AC-12 anti-corruption squad to weed out bent coppers in the hit BBC series. But while his team s mission to find the elusive H continues to grip millions, a new documentary tells the true, revelatory story of corruption in the British police. The upcoming second episode of Bent Coppers: Crossing the Line of Duty sheds light on how corrupt members of the Metropolitan Police ran a protection racket covering sex shops in London s Soho in the 1970s. Officers from the Obscene Publications Squad, led by corrupt officer Bill Moody, carried out periodic raids to make it appear as though they were clamping down on the illegal sale of hardcore pornography, whilst continuing to take bribes from shop owners.
