LONDON — Britain’s foreign intelligence agency MI6 reported one of its officers to authorities amid new concerns over the country’s possible complicity in torture, prompting police to launch an investigation Friday, officials said.
The case involves one MI6 officer and was the second investigation to be launched in recent months involving the treatment of detainees. Police were already investigating domestic spy agency MI5 over allegations that an officer was complicit in the mistreatment of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee.
Police said they were investigating “the conditions under which a non-Briton was held and the potential involvement of British personnel.”
