'Serpico' claims Scotland Yard elite ran drug
cartel by Nicholas Rufford, Home Affairs Editor
http://www.bilderberg.org/cia.htm#Serpico
DRUG rackets worth millions of pounds were run
from inside Britain's biggest police force,
according to a former Scotland Yard detective who
is to publish his allegations.
The officer, dubbed "Serpico" by friends after
the New York police officer who was pilloried for
exposing corruption, described sections of the
drug squad and the regional crime squad at
Scotland Yard as the "most professional criminal
cartels in Britain". He is writing a book in
which he alleges that officers stole drugs, paid
phantom informants and fabricated evidence.
Duncan MacLaughlin, a detective for 18 years, is
believed to be the first officer to talk openly
about alleged corruption within the elite squads in which he worked.

Here's another one by the way ->

His claims are likely to give renewed urgency to
the efforts by Sir Paul Condon, the Metropolitan
police commissioner, to stamp out criminal
activity within the force. Condon has already
launched a wide-ranging inquiry into police
corruption, and has set up CIB3, a special unit
of the Complaints Investigation Bureau, to investigate.
MacLaughlin, 38, who admits he was not
"straighter than straight", spent five years in
the drug squad and five years in the London-based
regional crime squad, which drew the best
detectives from forces across southern England to investigate serious crime.
He described the regional squad, which he left in
1994, as like Colditz, the second world war
prison. "You put all the clever ones, all the
brains, in one office, and you got the cleverest
scams. There were no better criminals in the
country . . . I was a member of the most
professional criminal cartel that Britain has ever produced."
MacLaughlin said hundreds of thousands of pounds
were siphoned from police funds through the
creation of phantom informants. "If we got
anonymous information that there was going to be
a deal involving, say, 25 kilos of coke
[cocaine], straightaway you would create an
imaginary informant. Then a friend would come in
and sign a bit of paper and maybe receive up to £40,000 reward money."
Another practice was to sell drugs which were
seized on raids. "Drugs were recycled all the
time. If you found 15 kilos of coke, you produce
12 kilos and 3 would be sold. A kilo of coke you
get UKP30,000 for, so you have made £90,000."
The claims are some of the most detailed made
against Scotland Yard. MacLaughlin resigned in
July. He was facing a discipline charge - which
he denies - for allegedly removing paperwork
relating to a murder investigation.
MacLaughlin does not admit to being involved in
any of the crimes he alleges, though he does
admit to holidaying in the Caribbean while on
police assignment to trace a drug baron's assets.
He said he did not feel guilty because he was not
spending taxpayers' money, but cash from a Home
Office reward fund. "I was no angel, I would go
back to the Caribbean just when it suited me. The
Met police had no idea. It just showed how incompetent they were," he said.
Roy Clark, deputy assistant commissioner of
Scotland Yard, said that some of MacLaughlin's
claims were false and others "wildly
exaggerated". He said it was a pity that
MacLaughlin was "not prepared to come forward
and, if there was any truth in his suggestions,
share his information with the anti-corruption squad".
Another former senior officer in the complaints
bureau described MacLaughlin as an oddball who
would have been sacked had he not resigned.
MacLaughlin claims that he was rebuffed when he
tried to give information to Ian Quinn, the
bureau's director. A Scotland Yard source
dismissed the claim and said MacLaughlin had made
an allegation to the bureau about the private
life of a senior officer for which there was "not an iota of evidence".
