Following their arrest on 13 March 2013 on suspicion of Misconduct in a Public Office, two NCA officers, Sheila Roberts and Brian Adair, both 47, along with another man, Glyn Evans, 53, of Essex,  were charged  on 5 Dec 2014 with offences under the Data Protection Act. 

The charges under the DPA are currently before St Alban’s Crown Court. However on advice from the CPS, received on 4 March 2013, prosecutions in respect of the allegation of Misconduct in a Public Office have been withdrawn.  The NCA officers remain suspended and internal discipline proceedings are pending.  We are therefore unable to comment further at this time.

The NCA expects the highest standards of professionalism from all of its officers, and has a zero-tolerance approach to corruption.
