The force said only some officers were 'vulnerable to corruption'
The Metropolitan Police has denied it is institutionally corrupt, in its response to a report on the unsolved murder of a private investigator.
Mr Morgan's family - who previously decided not to accept an apology offered by outgoing Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick - said they were "saddened, but not surprised" by the Met's formal response to the report. The Daniel Morgan Inquiry Panel, led by Baroness O'Loan and published last year, said it found evidence of a "form of institutional corruption" within the Metropolitan Police and also said it found evidence that in recent years the force concealed its own failings to protect itself., the Met said: "We accept that corruption was a major factor in the failings of the first investigation, but we do not accept that we are institutionally corrupt as has been suggested.
However, it also said it had asked academics to review the charge of "institutional corruption" and said they had concluded it was not justified.
