UK judges order 'robust' inquiry into MI5 false evidence | BBC News

The UK High Court has ordered a "robust and independent" new investigation into how MI5 gave false evidence to multiple courts

The court rejected two official inquiries provided by the Security Service as seriously "deficient”, after the BBC revealed MI5 had lied to three courts in a case concerning a neo-Nazi state agent who abused women.

The case began in 2022 with an attempt to block the BBC from publishing a story about the agent, known as X. It has become a major test of how the courts view MI5 and the credibility of its evidence.
