After 20 years apologizing police London

london - The London police have apologized for an undercover action twenty years ago. In addition, a secret agent helped with the permission of her supervisor in an action of the Animal Liberation Front in which about 6000 minks were released.

That action in 1998 in the town of Ringwood led to a lengthy investigation by the police in Hampshire, without anyone being arrested. That corps only found out in 2014 that an undercover agent had helped with this action.

Earlier this week, the chairman of a committee of inquiry into undercover operations of the London police made known the working name (Mrs. Groen) of the police officer after which it became clear that she had been sent by the police force in the capital. Scotland Yard decided to apologize to the Corps in Hampshire, according to British media Wednesday.
