Mr
Erik Ribsskog
Reference:
T20645/8
14 October 2008
Dear
Mr Ribsskog,
Thank
you for your e-mail of 13 September to the Ministry of Justice about
a police complaint. Your e-mail has been passed to the Direct
Communications Unit at the Home Office, and I have been asked to
respond.
I
can see from your letter that you are unhappy with the investigation
carried out by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC)
into your complaint.
The
IPCC is an independent body and therefore, if you are not satisfied
with their investigation, you will need to seek independent legal
advice, as its decisions can not be overturned other than through the
courts.
The
Home Office and its Ministers are not able to act as an avenue of
appeal, and have no power to influence or intervene in any
investigations or decisions made by the IPCC.
Similarly,
the Home Office cannot comment on matters for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) or the Norwegian equivalent of the IPCC- the
Spesialenheten. You will have to contact the United States and Norway
for their comments.
Yours
sincerely
Kevin Allen
