He could face an internal investigation for gross misconduct — the most serious disciplinary offence. Sources said the detective superintendent addressed colleagues about the need to be faultless and above reproach in carrying out inquiries, saying that they needed to be “whiter than white”.

Scotland Yard is to boost the fight against violence by transferring 122 officers from traffic policing to a task force tackling gangs and knife crime.
