MI5 lied to three courts to protect violent neonazi agent, BBC reports
A VIOLENT machete-armed misogynist and neonazi state agent was protected by MI5, which lied to three courts on his behalf, according to a BBC report today.
The Security Service told judges that it would not confirm or deny the identity of its agents, although it admitted to a BBC reporter that the man, identified only as Agent X, was in fact working for it.
MI5 has now been forced to apologise to the three courts that heard cases relating to X’s treatment of his then partner.
Spy chiefs also lied at a court hearing in a bid to block reporting of Agent X’s crimes.
They said they could not confirm his status, even though a BBC reporter had a recording of a senior MI5 official claiming legal authority to tell her that X was the service’s agent.
It has now issued an “unreserved apology” to the BBC and all three courts, describing what happened as a “serious error.”
