    Senior police commander convicted for second time

    Politics.co.uk – Mon, Feb 13, 2012

    By Oliver Hotham

    A senior commander for Scotland Yard was found guilty of framing an innocent man today, as he became one of the most senior British police officers to face jail for corruption.

    Ali Dizaei was found guilty of misconduct and perverting the course of justice.

    The charges followed an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

    Dizaei was charged for threatening to arrest and detain a man following a row outside a restaurant in 2008, and for falsely claiming to have been the victim of assault.

    He has been accused of similar offences in the past, having been convicted in 2010 and serving one year of a four year sentence.

      Met this guy on a quiet night by the river in Henley on Thames when I was 18. He was a power crazed bully giving some teenagers grieve for no reason. He tried to make out I had been tampering with boats on their moorings, so I am glad he is prison and I really hope he has an "accidental" fall down the stairs whilst he`s there. He is an absolute #$%$ !!

        Ah Henley - on - Thames one of the resting places of Dusty Springfield, some of here ashes are under a marker in the grounds of St Mary the Virgin and the rest were scattered by her brother Tom over the Cliffs of Moher near O Brien's Tower in the County of Clare. Dusty Springfield one of the greatest female singers ever.

        Police force gets several like that Tim. Very sad because it does not have to be that way and no doubt there are plenty of good cops around.

      How the hell can a copper who was convicted the first time around, then go back into the police force to mess up again?? Corruption big time - no question about it. It certainly exists in large public and private sector organisations - I speak from experience as someone who fought against serious corruption for just over a year relentlessly and won.

      More corruption among the police. Shouldn't this guy have been sacked the first time.
      This political correctness goes too far when they are afraid to sack someone just because he cries racism. Get some guts and kick him out, after he has served a proper sentence.

        Of course I can, Ray. The prison must have been too full of bent 'coppers' for him to be kept in custody

      Perhaps the "Met" and other police forces might care to recall Lord Acton's famous dictum, (including the second line, that too few ever recall): "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely. And there is no greater corruption but that the office holder takes upon himself the panoply of the office".

      Served time in prison and still on police force? Does this open the door for all convicted criminals who can't get a job to apply and be accepted by the police force. God help this country!

      It was so obvious from the start this mongoloidal rodent joined the police service for his own benefit.
      Corrupt filth is nothing unusual.I hope they take his house and savings,as it is obviously money earnt from crimminal proceeding.
      Mongoloida rodent I hope he dies painfully.

      Leave this wonderful,brave policeman alone. Our policemen just do not do such things and he was framed anyway. Also it is sheer racial predjudice. ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN GET THIS BIG BLACK PLASTIC BUCKET OFF MY HEAD?
