Watchdog's file on Met press chief's media links is given to Scotland Yard

The Metropolitan Police is considering whether to take disciplinary action against its head of public affairs over his links to a former News of the World executive.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it had finished its inquiry into Dick Fedorcio and was "waiting to hear from [the Met] regarding their proposed course of action".

Mr Fedorcio was investigated for misconduct after the Met handed a PR contract to a company run by Neil Wallis, the former deputy editor of the tabloid. Mr Fedorcio has been on leave since August.
