So many ``cover ups`` at top level.............the Establishment exposed again ....
Too hot' report on police leaks to media was buried as Leveson Inquiry ignored Met's bombshell intelligence report
Bombshell file on Met links to News International was dismissed by Leveson Inquiry - classified 2006 document alleged senior officer passed secret information on Met chief's decisions to the 'News of the World'
The Leveson Inquiry dismissed a police intelligence report that detailed an apparently corrupt relationship between a very senior former officer and the News of the World
The classified document, dated April 2006, alleged that the officer was obtaining highly confidential information on decisions taken by Lord Blair when he was the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, and passing it on to the now defunct Sunday tabloid.
Robert Jay, the lead counsel to the Leveson Inquiry, who is now a judge, had stated that Scotland Yard did not provide him with a copy of the intelligence report until April 2012 - six weeks after it could have been raised publicly with Lord Blair in the hearings. Mr Jay did say, though, that he had been aware of the report's existence earlier.
However, an investigation by The Independent on Sunday revealed that Mr Jay had been "informed of the existence of the document, its nature and the details of the intelligence" two months earlier, and weeks before Lord Blair, who is understood to have been keen to discuss the report's implications with the then QC, took the stand.
A Yard source said: "We told them about the ... report and they said they didn't want it. It was only when it was raised ... that they then said we do want it and we gave it to them."
On 16 April 2012, the existence of the suppressed report was first revealed by our stablemate The Independent, which reported on "a secret campaign from inside the highest ranks of the force to oust the former Commissioner Ian Blair"
Full report Independent.

Exclusive: 'Police corruption cannot be eliminated' admits head of special Met unit following Independent stori
Corruption inside law enforcement agencies is impossible to eliminate, according to the man charged with tackling malpractice inside Scotland Yard.
Chief Superintendent Alaric Bonthron, head of the Metropolitan Police's Professional Standards Unit, told The Independent the threat from organised crime groups infiltrating the force is "very challenging". However, he denied the Yard still suffered from the "endemic police corruption" outlined in the leaked report from Operation Tiberius in 2002, extracts of which have been revealed by this newspaper.
The document disclosed that some of Britain's most notorious crime syndicates were able to infiltrate the Met "at will", leading to compromised murder investigations, leaks of intelligence and covert informants being identified.
In an interview to address the concerns raised by Operation Tiberius, Det Ch Supt Bonthron admitted there will "always be vulnerabilities when you have people in systems", but claimed that Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Met Commissioner, took corruption "very seriously".
He said: "We work very closely with other agencies to help their operations, whether it's a big HMRC job or whether it's the CPS feeling they are vulnerable."
Asked if there were a threat to those agencies, Mr Bonthron replied: "There is a threat to any law enforcement agency. You will never eliminate corruption. You can make it very difficult and put systems in place.
"I think the organisation has taken corruption seriously. Organised crime by its very nature is very challenging. Has corruption gone away entirely? I don't think it has; you have always got vulnerabilities. Part of our role is to make sure the organisation is absolutely doing the best it can to be corruption-proof."
