HARPER = INVESTIGATIONS REPORTER = Monday 13 January 2014
Secret networks of Freemasons have been used by
organised crime gangs to corrupt the criminal
justice system, according to a bombshell
Metropolitan Police report leaked to The Independent.
Operation Tiberius, written in 2002, found
underworld syndicates used their contacts in the
controversial brotherhood to “recruit corrupted
officers” inside Scotland Yard, and concluded it
was one of “the most difficult aspects of
organised crime corruption to proof against”.
The report – marked “Secret” – found serving
officers in East Ham east London who were members
of the Freemasons attempted to find out which
detectives were suspected of links to organised
crime from other police sources who were also members of the society.
Famous for its secret handshakes, Freemasonry has
long been suspected of having members who work in
the criminal justice system – notably the judiciary and the police.
The political establishment and much of the media
often dismiss such ideas as the work of
conspiracy theorists. However, Operation Tiberius
is the second secret police report revealed by
The Independent in the last six months to highlight the possible issue.
Project Riverside, a 2008 report on the rogue
private investigations industry by the Serious
Organised Crime Agency, also claimed criminals
attempt to corrupt police officers through
Freemason members in a bid to further their
interests. Concerns over the influence of
freemasons on the criminal justice system in 1998
led former Home Secretary Jack Straw to order
that all police officers and judges should
declare membership of the organisation. However,
ten of Britain’s 43 police forces refused to take
part and the policy was dropped under threat of
legal action. In England and Wales, the Grand
Master of the Freemasons is Prince Edward, Duke
of Kent. The United Grand Lodge of England declined to comment last night.

last week that Operation Tiberius found that
organised crime syndicates such as the Adams
family and the gang led by David Hunt were able
to infiltrate the Met “at will”.
Asked to comment on the Tiberius report, a
spokesman for Scotland Yard said: “The
Metropolitan Police Service will not tolerate any
behaviour by our officers and staff which could
damage the trust placed in police by the public.
“We are determined to pursue corruption in all
its forms and with all possible vigour.”

HARPER INVESTIGATIONS REPORTER Friday 10 January 2014
The entire criminal justice system was
infiltrated by organised crime gangs, according
to a secret Scotland Yard report leaked to The Independent.
In 2003 Operation Tiberius found that men
suspected of being Britain’s most notorious
criminals had compromised multiple agencies,
including HM Revenue & Customs, the Crown
Prosecution Service, the City of London Police
and the Prison Service, as well as pillars of the
criminal justice system including juries and the legal profession.
The strategic intelligence scoping exercise –
“ratified by the most senior management” at the
Met – uncovered jurors being bought off or
threatened to return not-guilty verdicts; corrupt
individuals working for HMRC, both in the UK and
overseas; and “get out of jail free cards” being bought for £50,000.
The report states that the infiltration made it
almost impossible for police and prosecutors to
successfully pursue the organised gangs that
police suspected controlled much of the criminal underworld.
The author of Tiberius, which was compiled from
intelligence sources including covert police
informants, live telephone intercepts, briefings
from the security services and thousands of
historical files, came to the desperate
conclusion: “Quite how much more damage could be done is difficult to imagine.”
The fresh revelations come a day after The
Independent revealed that Tiberius had concluded
the Metropolitan Police suffered “endemic police
corruption” at the time, and that some of
Britain’s most dangerous organised crime
syndicates were able to infiltrate New Scotland Yard “at will”.
In its conclusions, the report stated: “The true
assessment of the damage caused by these corrupt
networks is impossible to make at this stage,
until further proactive scoping has been undertaken.
“However a statement by an experienced SIO
[senior investigating officer] currently attached
to SO 1(3) gives some indication of the depth of
the problem in east and north-east London: ‘I
feel that at the current time I cannot carry out
an ethical murder investigation without the fear of it being compromised.’
“The ramifications of this statement are serious
and disturbing and provide a snapshot of the
current threat to the criminal justice system.
Additionally the fact that none of these
syndicates have been seriously disrupted over the
last five years provides an insight into the effectiveness of their networks.”
In one case identified by Tiberius, a leading
criminal was acquitted of importing cannabis
after he allegedly “bought” members of the jury
hearing his case. A named police officer “was
involved in some way or another”, according to the report.
Tiberius also revealed the Met was concerned at
the time with a national newspaper story on the
ability of the Adams family to escape the law by
penetrating the criminal justice system.
In 1998, police appeared to have finally made a
breakthrough when Tommy Adams was jailed for more
than seven years for importing cannabis.
However, the article cited by Tiberius stated
that the “only reason the Adams family had
allowed the prosecution to succeed and had not
resorted to bribery or intimidation to thwart it,
was because the other brothers wanted to teach
Tommy a lesson for getting involved in crimes they had not authorised”.
The article concluded: “Witnesses terrified into
silence, dodgy jurors, bent lawyers, bent
policemen and bent CPS clerks – all are part of
the same cancer eating away at justice. A cure
for the malady will not be easy to come by.
Perhaps we should begin by acknowledging that the patient is sick.”
Tiberius disclosed that the Met interviewed the
journalist who wrote the story after the murder
of Solly Nahome, a money launderer credited as
the “brains” behind the Adams’ criminal empire.
The reporter stated one of her journalistic
sources on the family was a corrupt police
officer but did not disclose who it was.
Another case of corruption beyond the Met,
identified by Tiberius, included intelligence of
alleged foul play within HMRC, which is supposed
to lead the UK’s fight against white-collar crime such as money laundering.
In 2000, according to Tiberius, a key police
informant was secretly helping Scotland Yard with
an investigation into the importation of £10m of
heroin by a Turkish gang in north London.
The deal went wrong, the informant was tortured
in a cellar and “an attempt was made to sever his
fingers with a pair of garden shears”. His
associate was also attacked and had “three fingers chopped off with a machete”.
The henchman Tiberius alleged had committed the
assaults was the son of a named Met detective,
who repeatedly tried to impede police inquiries
into the case, according to Tiberius. He also had
a corrupt relationship with a named detective
sergeant then based in Marylebone police station
who is suspected to have “organised cheque
frauds”. Research conducted by The Independent
suggests that none of the three men has ever been prosecuted.
The Turkish drug dealer was later convicted and
told police he was an HMRC informant. He said he
knew of “corrupt contacts within the police” and
had a Cyprus-based customs officer as a handler who “took money off him”.
Alastair Morgan, whose brother Daniel was
murdered in 1987 before he could expose links
between Met officers and organised crime, told
The Independent: “Despite all the protestations
by police that things have changed since the ‘bad
old days’, this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.
“The police have no desire to tackle this. It
would be too damaging to have it all aired in
open court. The Met is a highly political organisation.”
Scotland Yard said: “[We] will not tolerate any
behaviour by our officers and staff which could
damage the trust placed in police by the public.
We are determined to pursue corruption in all its
forms and with all possible vigour. All such
allegations and intelligence are taken extremely seriously.”

There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
