The M.E.N. understands £2m has so far been spent
A seven-year investigation into claims lab technicians manipulated data at a Manchester forensic lab has been shelved by Greater Manchester Police.
An investigation was started by GMP into data manipulation by seven workers at a site in Blackley, north Manchester. Two firms involved in the investigation provided services to GMP for the purposes of identifying drug use.
Two companies were primarily involved. The suspects worked for Trimega Laboratories - which operated at the Hexagon Tower from 2009 until the company was liquidated in 2014. They also worked for Randox Testing Services, which bought the equipment and methodology from Trimega upon its liquidation and operated at the Hexagon Tower from 2014 onwards.
“GMP will support any reviews of criminal cases by the Ministry of Justice and Criminal Cases Review Commission, and will continue to share all relevant information to help the Forensic Science Regulator ensure the integrity of forensic testing now and in the future.”
