Dear Northumbria Police,

In her whitewashed / botched 'report' which related to my complaints against her boss (you could not make it up - how corrupt) ACC Bacon wrote; 'In support of CC Keenen's adherence to the Codes of Ethics is the fact that he has authorised a reinvestigation of the attempted murder case including the issues surrounding the media release by an independent police force. The aim of this is to achieve an independent investigation which has the confidence of Mr McGartland.'

Winton Keenen Lied to his ACC as he has never at any stage 'authorised a reinvestigation of the attempted murder case including the issues surrounding the media release by an independent police force.' concerning the Martin McGartland cases.

Under the FOIA I would like to know;

1. Has CC Keenen ever been investigated for lying to ACC Bacon by IOPC/IPCC, by PCC Vera Baird of any other parties acting on their behalf? (if so, please supply details... by who, when, outcome etc)

I am also requesting details of;

2. The name of the external force that Winton Keenen authorised to carry out a reinvestigation of the Martin McGartland 20 year unsolved attempted murder case (unsolved as a direst result if the most serious corruption - the protecting of suspects from arrest and justice)?

3. Regards 2 above, the date that CC Keenen authorized the external independent police force to carry out a reinvestigation of the Martin McGartland attempted murder case?

4. The name of of the external independent police force that CC Keenen authorized to carry out an investigation into the smearing of Martin McGartland '(issues surrounding the media release')?

5. Regards 4 above, the date that CC Keenen authorized the external independent police force to carry out a investigation the smearing of Martin McGartland '(issues surrounding the media release')?

Yours faithfully,

Martin McGartland
