Carlo Soracchi

Carlo Soracchi is a former undercover police officer in the UK who infiltrated socialist, anti-fascist, and left-wing groups for six years. He is currently the subject of a public inquiry into undercover policing (the 'spycops' inquiry). Soracchi is newsworthy due to allegations of serious misconduct during his time undercover. Recent developments include testimony accusing him of emotionally manipulating women into long-term relationships using false and cruel stories, including fabricated family tragedies. He is also accused of using public funds for a romantic trip to Venice with a woman he was deceiving. Furthermore, he faces accusations of attempting to incite activists to commit arson against a shop allegedly linked to the far-right, a claim he denies. The inquiry and the allegations against Soracchi are significant as they raise serious concerns about police ethics, transparency, and the potential abuse of power within undercover operations.
