A now-retired former senior police officer who played a pivotal role on the night of the Manchester Arena terror bombing could face criminal charges, a watchdog revealed today.
Dale Sexton, then a chief inspector, was Greater Manchester Police's Force Duty Officer (FDO) - a key position in terms of command and communications.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said today it would be referring a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in relation to 'the actions of a former GMP officer when providing information to various reviews' held following the bombing, in which 22 people were killed in May, 2017, after an Ariana Grande concert.
