A police investigation has been launched after pictures were taken inside a court during the sentencing of Dale Cregan's nephew. The images show barristers sitting in a courtroom as Oscar Cregan made an appearance by videolink at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester, the Manchester Evening News understands.
Some hearings are now televised, but taking photographs or making videos in court can lead to a charge of contempt of court.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police confirmed a complaint had been made on January 19 and an investigation was 'active'. A spokesman for the Attorney General's Office said it was not currently involved in the matter.
