Trial Date Set For Top Police Chief
A senior Metropolitan Police officer is to stand trial later this summer on charges of misconduct in public office and perverting the course of justice.
Police Commander Ali Dizaei, 47, appeared today at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Mr Dizaei - who is also the National Black Police Association President - was told by magistrates he will go on trial at Southwark Crown Court on 5 August.
He has been suspended from the force since last September. The allegations follow an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), linked to an incident in the middle-eastern Yas restaurant in Kensington, south west London on July 18 last year.
The Crown Prosecution Services (CPS) charges accuse Mr Dizaei of making false allegations of a crime and other acts which led to the "risk of imprisonment pending trial, and wrongful conviction and punishment", of a young businessman.
He is also accused of wilfully engaging in misconduct to the extent that it amounted to an abuse of the public's trust in his office as police commander.
Mr Dizaei has been bailed until August 5.
