Unite vindicated as Police Scotland finds 'no evidence of any criminality' in email cache
Britain's largest union, Unite, today (Tuesday 21 January) welcomed Police Scotland's conclusion that there was 'no evidence of any criminality' in a cache of emails held on the work computer of Stevie Deans.
The emails were leaked to the Sunday Times and subsequently handed to Police Scotland by his former employer Ineos, where Stevie Deans was a Unite convenor until his forced resignation.
Commenting, Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said:
“Unite has been vindicated in consistently saying that no wrongdoing or criminality has taken place and welcomes Police Scotland's conclusion.
“It is shameful that the police's time has been wasted by vexatious complaints and their attentions diverted from catching real criminals and solving real crimes.
“Stevie Deans is a decent and honourable man who has been smeared and hounded with a callous disregard for him and his family by those who should know better.
“The anti-union hysteria whipped up by certain sections of the media and their friends to pursue a spiteful agenda, has been shocking. Their witch-hunt has been exposed to be without foundation and a lie.”
