'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".
