THE Metropolitan Police stored “intimate emails” between a female activist and an undercover police officer who had started a relationship with her, a court heard today.
Private messages sent between Mark Kennedy and environmentalist Kate Wilson were allegedly retained by the Met, despite the force denying that it approved of or even knew about the relationship.
While operating in activist circles, Mr Kennedy began relationships with several women to better monitor the groups’ activities between the 1970s and the early 2000s.
