Scotland Yard has called in the police watchdog over allegations that an undercover officer took part in a criminal trial under a false name.
Jim Boyling, a specialist operations Detective Constable with the Met Police, is accused of maintaining an alias throughout court proceedings after being arrested following a demonstration in 1996.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "The MPS has tonight, Thursday October 20, contacted the IPCC with a view to making a formal referral to them tomorrow.
"This follows consideration today of allegations relating to historic covert police deployments."
