Police National HQ and the Brash E-mails

Matthew Hooton blogs some disturbing information he has obtained from the Police. It has taken him 18 months to get the information under the Official Information , even though it should have taken only 20 days.

It deals with the Police investigation into the Brash or so called Hollow . Key points are:

  • The alleged was notified to Police in August 2005
  • The Police did not begin their investigation until September 2006 – 13 months later!
  • The Police did not interview anyone as part of the investigation until June 2007 – 22 months after the complaint
  • The Police lied when they said in April 2008 the file was closed, as they now claim it is open but not active.
  • It took 18 months to get even this information out of the Police
  • The Police are refusing to release the file, even though they say the file is no longer active
  • The Officer in charge is the same Officer who decided not to prosecute Labour for their $800.000 of over in 2005

Now some will say there is nothing bad or sinister about this. They will claim the e-mails were never stolen. But why did the Police spend 20 months fighting the release?
