A police officer who was jailed for 12 months after pleading guilty to a charge of misconduct in public office over the 'plebgate' scandal has been dismissed by the Metropolitan Police. Another officer involved was also dismissed.
The Metropolitan Police has also announced that a second officer has been dismissed following their involvement in the 'plebgate' scandal.
James Glanville, who was a serving PC in the Diplomatic Protection Group, was arrested in January last year. He was later told he would face no criminal action but the police watchdog (IPCC) and the force agreed their was a case to answer for gross misconduct.
Granville was not on duty at the time of the 'plebgate' incident, but investigations found that later that evening he passed information about the incident to the Sun newspaper.
He later provided the newspaper a photo of PC Toby Rowland's email that he sent to his supervisors, which he got from another colleague who had been on duty at Downing Street that night. He subsequently lied about his actions in statements given to detectives from the Alice team.
