"Scotland Yard has passed to Britain`s police watchdog its investigation into a detective suspected of leaking identities of complainants in abuse cases to BC1`s Panorama."
"The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) will itself carry out the investigation into the senior detective over allegations that he passed to Panorama and newspapers confidential details of witnesses who made allegations to Scotland Yard of child sex abuse (CSA) by VIPs."
"Communications seen by Exaro reveal that immediately after taking over the investigation....the IPCC upgraded it from a disciplinary to a criminal case."
"A source close to the investigation said: `These are very serious allegations about sensitive matters.`.."
"The leaks were especially serious in light of the warning in September by the solicitor general, Robert Buckland, that the media must not publish or broadcast anything that is likely to lead anyone to identify a complainant in a police investigation into CSA allegations."
"Scotland Yard is also investigating whether the officer was behind a disinformation campaign in the Press in 2014 in an attempt to wreck a Met investigation into allegations that a Customs officer seized a video in 1982 that showed child sex abuse in the presence of Lord, then Leon, Brittan, former home secretary, who died last year."
"The senior detective is understood to have denied the allegations against him in the `misconduct` investigation."
