Initially Rice was treated as a victim of fraud after it emerged a law firm linked to Mr C had "double sold" a £600,000 property on Linnet Lane to the then officer and to a Saudi businessman, leaving Rice with a mortgage on a property he did not legally own.

However the panel heard he had received texts from a woman who worked for Ware, telling him the developer "was running with the Ungis" now, a reference to a "prominent organised crime group."
