A senior Metropolitan Police Commander accused of smoking cannabis “daily” is facing the sack from the force despite the claim being thrown out, because of the way he handled the allegation.
Commander Julian Bennett was found guilty of gross misconduct following a three-year-long investigation, thought to have cost the public at least £1.5m, because he failed to provide a drug sample when the accusation was made. The Metropolitan Police requested for him to complete the test after receiving a call from his former flatmate who reported Bennett’s alleged drug use.
Mark Ley-Morgan KC, representing the Metropolitan Police, said it would have smacked of "organised corruption at the highest level" if Mr Bennett had been allowed to resign on the spot. Bennett, who has been suspended on full pay since 2021 and reportedly earns a six-figure salary, had claimed that he believed the test would be positive because he had been taking legal CBD products to treat his facial palsy condition, and he wanted to avoid “embarrassing” the force.
