SUSPENDED police chief Graham Power has been suspended again – this time over the keeping of secret files on States Members as part of Operation Blast.Mr Power has not worked since he was suspended in November over allegations that he had failed to properly control the historical child abuse investigation.
The second suspension follows last month’s Royal Court hearing, in which Mr Power tried to get his suspension reconsidered. A judgment has not yet been delivered on the application.
Reconsideration
But even if the court ordered the reconsideration or lifting of the suspension, Mr Power would still not be able to return to work because of the Operation Blast suspension.
And it has now emerged that Mr Power has made a formal complaint against his boss, Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand, who is adjudicating over his suspension.
