A police intelligence analyst is being probed for anti-corruption relating to the penetrated secret criminal Encrochat network.
Natalie Mottram, a Cheshire Police employee, was on secondment at the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) when the investigation began in June, last year. It is alleged the Warrington 22-year-old, with others, disclosed information that law enforcement could access encrypted EncroChat data as the European-wide Operation Venetic was underway. Mottram has now been charged with four counts of unauthorised access to computer material and one count of perverting the course of justice.
