This case takes place within a wider context of public concern about undercover policing. While Police Spies Out Of Lives is a support group for this case only, we have compiled some links to significant background information below; see also Beyond this case: Issues and Corruption.

Alongside the officers involved, several other undercover police officers have come forward or have been unmasked:
– “Marco Jacobs” – his deployment is also the subject of legal action, against the Metropolitan Police and South Wales Police. Some of the court hearings about that case have been heard in tandem with this case, including attempts by the Metropolitan Police to have that case, and parts of this case, heard in secret.
