Operation Midland
Public figures caught up in a disastrous investigation into false claims of a VIP paedophile ring have still not received justice, one of their widows has said.
Lady Diana Brittan was given compensation and an official apology from the Metropolitan Police after her homes in London and Yorkshire were raided in 2015 as part of Operation Midland amid allegations against her late husband.
The doomed 16-month investigation, sparked by false accounts given by fantasist Carl Beech, saw raids on the homes of former home secretary Lord Brittan, as well as D-Day veteran Lord Bramall and ex-Tory MP Harvey Proctor.
Victims of the VIP paedophile scandal accused Priti Patel of shirking her responsibility as Home Secretary last night after she dismissed growing calls for a fresh inquiry.
Miss Patel was under pressure to act after six of her predecessors said confidence in the police had been seriously damaged by Scotland Yard s investigation into false claims by fantasist Nick of a Westminster paedophile ring.
They called for a new investigation into the Metropolitan Police s disastrous Operation Midland probe, which led to raids on the homes of ex-MP Harvey Proctor, former home secretary Leon Brittan and former head of the Armed Forces Lord Bramall.
