From now on, every month, the Usual Suspects will get rounded up in a series of shorter articles on what’s happening in those dark places where gangsterism, politics, policing, law and the media intersect.
There will be updates on past investigations, vignettes on the vicious and of course gossip about the criminal justice game and its players.
In this inaugural Usual Suspects you will find more from the Soho corruption trial that concluded spectacularly last month; new revelations on why the watchdog cannot police the police when the public need it most; the stinky case of Met sergeant Gurpal Virdi; how the media is prevented from monitoring the deluge of Met discipline cases coming down the line; and finally, a former world boxing champ speaks out about his clash with heavyweight crime boss, The Long Fella.
