Met Police hid £2.5m spycop from ex
The article reports on a police misconduct inquiry revealing that UK police secretly monitored Helen Steel, a political campaigner, during her efforts to find an undercover officer, John Dines, who deceived her into a relationship. Scotland Yard spent £2.5 million of public funds to track her movements and relocate Dines to prevent her from uncovering his identity, including helping him buy a new house abroad. Steel, who was unaware of the surveillance, described this as an abuse of power, and the inquiry highlighted broader abuses involving undercover officers over decades.
