Garda Ombudsman investigating Bailey complaint | BreakingNews.ie: "His complaint focuses on recently released documents which included a 44-page critical review of the conduct of the murder investigation and the reasons why the former director of public prosecutions (DPP) decided not to prosecute.
The Department of Justice said once the existence of the 2001 review was brought to the attention of the Attorney General, Marie Whelan, and Justice Minister Alan Shatter, the documents were given to the solicitors and counsel representing all sides in the extradition proceedings, including the French authorities.
The material also questioned the credibility of several key witnesses and alleged an unnamed senior garda or gardaí tried to get the former state solicitor for West Cork to put political pressure on the DPP to prosecute Mr Bailey.
Former DPP Eamon Barnes described the Garda investigation into the murder of Ms Toscan du Plantier as flawed and "prejudiced," and the attempt by gardaí to get a direction from the DPP’s office to prosecute as grossly improper."?
