Investigations have revealed a volume of new and important information and documentation previously undisclosed to the defnece. This material, which will be revealed by ROUGH JUSTICE in the programme is now being studied by the Criminal Case Review Commission.

      The CCRC, the organisation responsible for deciding if cases should be sent back to the Court Of Appeal has now been considering the case of the M25 Three for nearly a year. Hopes that the Greater Manchester Police Investigation into the case on behalf of the CCRC would be concluded by February ahve been dashed. The CCRC member overseeing the investigation has now told our defence teams that the investigation may not be completeed until May.

      Meanwhile the Home Offic has refused to hand over documentation retained by it when the case of the M25 Three was transferred to the Criminal Case Review Commission in the Spring of last year. This missing documentation includes details of the original enquiry conducted by the home office itself into whether the case shoudl be referred back to the Court Of Appeal and any recommendations that might have been made to ministers as a result of the enquiry.
