MI5 to pay compensation to woman abused by neo-Nazi agent

6 hours ago

MI5 will pay compensation and has apologized to a woman abused by one of its agents, a neo-Nazi misogynist known as Agent X.
Agent X used his MI5 role to coercively control and attack his partner, Beth, including a machete attack.
MI5 admitted mistakes in record-keeping and evidence handling, prolonging Beth's suffering, and has initiated reforms.
Beth accepted the settlement but criticized MI5 for still protecting Agent X, a violent predator.
MI5 is under investigation for providing false evidence in court regarding Agent X's case.
Two initial inquiries absolved MI5 of deliberate wrongdoing, but high court judges found serious procedural deficiencies.
Agent X had a history of extremist violence, including fantasies about eating children and abusing previous partners.
