A POLICE inspector who gave evidence during an employment tribunal which found a female officer was victimised has been charged with perjury.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “On Thursday August 17 2023, a 48-year-old man was charged in connection with a perjury offence.The tribunal heard in 2021 that Malone, who was based in Edinburgh, was a committed police constable who had an exemplary record.
It accepted evidence that the culture in parts of armed policing was “horrific” and an “absolute boys’ club”. When Malone raised concerns about her experiences she was offered a small payout on the condition she signed a non-disclosure agreement to stop her speaking out.Malone’s solicitor said the findings were a watershed moment for Police Scotland.Former chief constable Iain Livingstone said an independent force would review the judgement over “legitimate concern” about what had been found.
“Misogyny, sexism and discrimination of any kind are deplorable. They should have no place in society and no place in policing”, he said.
