Court ruling allows BBC to tell MI5 agent story

Nov 30,2023 1:51 pm

A High Court ruling will allow The Bbc to publish A Story about A Man it says exploited his status as an MI5 informant to abuse his partner.

The Bbc said the decision will allow it to tell A Story That is " firmly in The Public interest".

An injunction still bans The Corporation identifying The Man , known In Court proceedings as X.

But in a final ruling, The Judge said The Bbc can decide which details can be made public Without identifying him.

Attorney General Suella Braverman had applied for an injunction preventing X from being identified by the publication of a planned BBC story.

She claimed That - Without confirming or denying That he was an MI5 Agent - The Story could put him At Risk of harm or death and jeopardise National Security .

The Bbc wanted to name The Man who it says used his intelligence status to coerce and terrify a former partner and poses an ongoing threat to women.

It argued That MI5 should have known about his behaviour and it was inappropriate to use him as an Agent or a covert human Intelligence Source .

Mr Justice Chamberlain said the " experience and expertise" of The Corporation and its experienced investigative journalist meant it was well-placed to make decisions about which details risked identifying X.

In a statement, The Bbc said: " This ruling enables us to tell A Story we believe is firmly in The Public interest, and it is a vindication of The Bbc 's investigative journalism. "

The Bbc is planning to run The Story in The Coming days.

The Attorney General has been asked for comment.
