Scotland Yard has launched a probe into claims of “corruption at a high level” over the supply of guns used to murder a security guard and one of their own officers.
Gangland informant Brynmor Lindop was sentenced to just two years despite being arrested with enough firearms to “equip a small army”.
A Sunday Mirror investigation revealed in January how his Met Police handler had briefed a trial judge that Lindop was a valued “snout”.
