Leon Brittan's widow says 'no closure' from false abuse claims after police misconduct case dropped

Lady Diana Brittan, widow of Lord Leon Brittan, criticizes the decision to drop an investigation into the officer who wrongly led an inquiry into false abuse claims against her late husband. The false accusations were made by Carl Beech, who was later revealed to be a fantasist and a fraudster. Despite Beech's imprisonment and Lord Brittan's name being cleared, Lady Brittan feels her husband's reputation as a public servant has been permanently damaged. The Met Police apologized and compensated Lord Brittan's family for the mishandling of the case related to Operation Midland.
