British authorities have dropped criminal proceedings against former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) stated that they no longer believe there is a realistic prospect of conviction based on the available evidence.
The Crown Prosecution Service has acknowledged that evidence presented in the first trial of Lucy Letby, a British nurse convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to kill six others, was incorrect. The error involved door-swipe data, which was crucial to the prosecution’s case. This revelation has raised concerns about the accuracy of evidence presented in the initial trial and led to calls for a thorough investigation into the mistakes.
A 20-year-old British man faces charges for allegedly planning an arson attack on Ukrainian-linked commercial properties in London on behalf of the Wagner Group. The suspect is accused of organizing and carrying out the attack on two units in an industrial park in Leyton, east London, on March 20, 2024, requiring 60 firefighters to extinguish the blaze. Court documents allege involvement with the Wagner Group and the recruitment and payment of others to execute the attack. Following the allegations, the UK Foreign Office has summoned the Russian ambassador to address concerns about Russian involvement in malign activities on British soil.
