Spycops probe chair Mitting has 'sunk to new depths'
Undercover police officer Carlo Neri, who deceived women into intimate relationships

SPYCOPS inquiry chairman John Mitting “sunk to new depths” yesterday when he called into question the “humanity” of anyone who might release the real name of a notorious spycop, a woman duped into a long-term relationship has told the Star.

Carlo Neri deceived women into intimate relationships while he was deployed against the Socialist Party and No Platform/Antifa between 2000 and 2006 as an officer in the Metropolitan Police’s shadowy Special Demonstration Squad.

But the spycops inquiry has ruled that his real name will not be released in order to protect his two teenage daughters.
