Met Police Officers Accessed Sarah Everard Files Driven by Curiosity

Seven officers are accused of abusing their positions to view confidential information related to the high-profile case.

The officers accessed sensitive data, including X-rays and investigation logs, about Sarah Everard's murder case following the arrest of Wayne Couzens.
An internal audit, Operation Scarborough, revealed the unauthorized access by four serving and three former officers.
The misconduct hearing heard that officers provided false explanations for accessing the files, claiming personal curiosity as the motivation.
The Metropolitan Police seeks to dismiss the officers, citing a breach of data protection rules and potential reputational damage.
All involved officers admitted to accessing the documents but denied that their actions constituted gross misconduct.
