An Indian-origin lawyer has claimed that corruption within Scotland Yard was covered up, saying a police officer, who was involved in a money laundering inquiry against a billionaire Nigerian politician, was bribed, a media report said on Sunday.
Bhadresh Gohil claimed a former police officer probing the money laundering case of James Ibori had received corrupt payments from a private detective agency RISC Management which worked for Ibori.
last week, Gohil, who was accused of leaking fabricated documents to media organisations and MPs, was cleared after the UKs Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) withdrew a charge of perverting the course of justice against him.
