THE Met was today accused of institutional corruption over the axe murder of private eye Daniel Morgan. Commissioner Cressida Dick was among senior officers accused of placing “hurdles” in the way …
said the Met’s “lack of candour” by not confronting systemic and individual failings was “to protect itself”.The report said: “Concealing or denying failings, for the sake of the organisation’s public image, is dishonesty on the part of the organisation . . . and constitutes a form of institutional corruption.”
It said the Met had placed greater emphasis on protecting its reputation than solving the murder of Daniel, 37, meaning his family “suffered grievously”. The private detective was found dead in the car park of the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham, South London, in 1987.
