Ex-Police Officer Investigated Over Savile Claims
Claims that a former police inspector “acted on behalf” of Jimmy Savile before he faced a police interview are being investigated.
It is allegedly the ex-officer contacted Surrey Police before they questioned Savile over alleged sexual offences in 2009.
He has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) by West Yorkshire Police.
The referral from West Yorkshire Police follows a direction from the IPCC regarding the former inspector, identified in a Surrey Police report as "Inspector 5".
In addition, the IPCC has written to seven police forces, including West Yorkshire, and asked them to review all information relating to Savile.
The other forces are Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley, Greater Manchester, the Metropolitan Police and Lancashire.
The IPCC has asked each force to provide the relevant documents and, if they decide not to record or refer any matters, the rationale for not doing so.
The decision follows the IPCC's review of recently published reports - Operation Yewtree, a Scotland Yard inquiry established in the wake of the Savile scandal, the Crown Prosecution Service report by Alison Levitt QC and Operation Ornament by Surrey Police.
