Police & CPS Should Be Prosecuted Over Lotfi Raissi Extradition

The Court of Appeal has found that Lotfi Raissi was falsely imprisoned, and his life destroyed, on the basis of false evidence presented by the CPS and Metropolitan police.

The judges said: “We consider that the way in which extradition proceedings were conducted in this country, with opposition to bail based on allegations which appear unfounded in evidence, amounted to an abuse of process.
At the very least those responsible were incompetent or careless, but quite possibly the 'evidence' was fabricated.

The police and lawyers should be investigated to decide whether they should be prosecuted, for example for false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and perjury. At the very least some of their number, including those at the top of those organisations, should be sacked.

Only then will the police and CPS be minded to uphold right and the rule of law and stop being bullying cynical jobsworths.
