Nine Gwent Police officers investigated over offensive messages
"We believe that Gwent Police officers were biased against us as a family during their investigation for my father's inquest," she said.
The newspaper said that racist images, pornographic videos and sensitive information about misconduct and corruption investigations were among the material exchanged between Mr Jones and former colleagues. The IOPC said a further two serving officers are under criminal investigation for allegedly unauthorised disclosure of police information to Mr Jones after he had left the force. They had been served with gross misconduct notices but are not being investigated over the phone messages.Misconduct notices advise officers that they are being investigated but charges will not necessarily follow, the watchdog said.
"We will progress the investigation as swiftly as possible, but given the number of officers and the non-recent nature of the alleged conduct, inquiries will take some time," Mr Ford said.
