Police consider payment probe

The Metropolitan police have finally noticed what Rebekkah Brooks said to M.P.s in 2003. Chris Bryant, the MP at the centre of the questions asked, strangely had his leg broken in a charity rugby match at Twickenham this weekend...and was sent home without it being put in plaster by the Twickenham medical staff. Odd that....http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-13161075

Court finds police kettling was unlawful

Stop and search: just two anti-terror arrests

2009-10...92,000 stopped under terrorism powers, only two people arrested. No wonder the European Court of Human Rights stopped the nonsense

Police condemn Neil Lennon parcel bombs

Three held after raids by armed Gardai

Rare insight into relationships between paramilitaries and organised crime. Feud between "Real IRA" and organised crime groups in Dublin. RIRA after control of club door security in order to control drug sales. Somebody must be researching this and writing it up over in Ireland. Classic behaviour.

Jack the Ripper was a German sailor, detective claims

Well, of course! Or a Bulgarian or a Rumanian. Found this piece while looking for more on Dortmund prostitution.

Gang crime scuppers Germany's red light experiment

Frustratingly short piece about the closing of the Dortmund model because of a glut of Bulgarian prostitutes and the gangs that control them. I will check the German press to see if there's more info.

How a big US bank laundered millions from Mexico's murderous drug gangs

Allegedly, surely? The whistleblower's story of Wachovia. Lots of information here on money-laundering.
