MI5 False Evidence Sparks Independent Inquiry | JQJO

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper acknowledged a "serious failing" by MI5 after a High Court ruling revealed the intelligence agency provided false evidence to multiple courts in a neo-Nazi case. The court rejected two previous internal inquiries and ordered a further, independent investigation under Sir Brian Leveson. Cooper expressed deep concern and called for improvements to MI5's internal processes and a review of how evidence is prepared and presented. The High Court also criticized the evidence given by MI5's director general of strategy.
