cover-up

The men’s lawyers believe they have a case for a failure to disclose medical records and, at worst, may have had glimpses of a cover-up locked in the bowels of military archives.

“This cover-up spanned decades, blocking the Shabazz family’s access to the truth and their right to pursue justice,” Crump shared in a statement.

But the recipients of that report "participated in an active cover-up" to prevent its findings, including that crimes had been committed, coming to light, the Makin review said.

She replied: “No, you are trying to suggest there was a cover-up, there was no cover-up.”

Mr Morse told the BBC he believes the "cover-up" extended until 2017 when Channel 4's report was broadcast which then led to a "proper police investigation".
