Police spy tried to incite activists to firebomb shop, UK inquiry hears
AI Summary
A UK inquiry is investigating Carlo Soracchi, an undercover police officer who infiltrated anti-fascist and left-wing groups between 2000 and 2006. Three activists testified that Soracchi attempted to incite them to firebomb a shop in London, allegedly a front for the far right, on two separate occasions in 2002. The activists stated they rejected the idea and had no intention of engaging in terrorism. Soracchi denies the allegations and instead accuses one of the activists of suggesting the plot. The inquiry is examining the conduct of 139 undercover officers who spied on left-wing campaigners from 1968 to at least 2010. Soracchi will also be questioned about forming intimate relationships with three women under his false identity.
