Senior police officers failed to tell 'the whole truth' over allegations made by a former senior detective turned whistleblower, it has been claimed in an employment tribunal.
Retired officer Pete Jackson, 59, the former head of GMP's major incident team, alleges that there was a 'rotten culture of cronyism' while he was still working at the force.
He alleges he was sidelined and passed over for promotion after he blew the whistle about the destruction of human remains of Harold Shipman's victims carried out without the families' knowledge; aspects of the investigation into a suspected paedophile, and police tactics in the hunt for killer Dale Cregan.
