A senior Metropolitan Police officer who drew up an anti-drugs strategy for the force is facing the sack for refusing to provide a sample when he was accused of smoking cannabis.
After Ms Gomes reported Mr Bennett in July 2020, he was called in and, in the presence of an assistant commissioner, was asked to provide a sample.Mark Ley-Morgan KC, representing the Metropolitan Police, said it would have smacked of “organised corruption at the highest level” if Mr Bennett had been allowed to resign on the spot.
The tribunal also heard Ms Gomes was engaged in litigation about another matter and had litigated in Portugal, where she was born.
