“Neglect or failure in their duty”

[faithlilly]

I have no idea what the fuss is about regarding what are obviously spurious complaints against serving officers.  Had there been any substance to them it might have been of interest but I wonder if the complaints whatever they may have been were made because these officers were working on Madeleine McCann's case?
Were that so I find that terribly sad

Anyway, Scotland Yard officers are not unique from suffering allegations which do not stand up to the scrutiny of the complaints procedures in place ...

During the past year, that body protected by the MAI processed 1,483 complaints against police, 623 of which transited from 2017 and 860 were filed in 2018.

Of the 1,483 complaints analysed, the IGAI concluded 874, having filed 609 cases for this year, converted to disciplinary proceedings four and filed 765 for lack of infringement or evidence, and 609 disciplinary proceedings are ongoing in the security forces and services and institutions.

It is terribly sad Brietta, especially if it was the family of Madeleine lodging the complaint, a possibility suggested by the Sun.

What is terribly sad is your dogged persistence in suggesting that it was without a scrap of credible evidence to back up your belief.

Well it does seem there was NOT a scrap of credible evidence in those police officers charges. And it does smack of the same kind of accusations thrown at another police force... one who also cannot find an abductor...
