Police in the UK bar an officer from policing following findings related to misconduct uncovered during an investigation associated with the Westminster Bridge incident.
According to the reporting, detective sergeant Gary Waite is removed from policing duties after an internal review finds he has an inappropriate relationship with detective Pervaz Malik. The accounts also say Waite asked a junior colleague for Viagra and was not truthful about leave arrangements. The same reports note that Malik had been dismissed earlier this year over allegations connected to organising sex workers.
The outlets present these developments as separate from the original Westminster Bridge incident itself, focusing instead on disciplinary or employment actions taken by police authorities. They largely align on the existence of an inappropriate relationship between the two named officers and the associated allegations that lead to Waite being barred from policing, but they vary in emphasis and detail about the conduct described.
