VIP abuse ‘liars’ to be investigated after seven-year delay

Two men who "deliberately lied" to a disastrous Metropolitan Police inquiry into false claims of murder and abuse by VIPs will be formally investigated for perverting the course of justice.

A former High Court judge first said the pair should be investigated seven years ago, but was ignored by the Met.

The announcement follows a long campaign by ex-MP Harvey Proctor, who was among those falsely accused.

"They've been dragged screaming and kicking to this," said Mr Proctor.

The two accs, known as witnesses A and B, made allegations to the Met in 2015 during Operation Midland, which probed false claims of triple murder by an establishment paedophile ring involving politicians, generals and spies.

Mr Proctor has campaigned for years to ensure A and B are investigated, with Wednesday's announcement coming after he complained to the police watchdog.

"Why have the Met waited seven years to refer A and B for investigation":[]}
