Former commander Ali Dizaei claims a police appeal tribunal has 'unanimously' dismissed his sacking
Scotland Yard Commander Ali Dizaei said yesterday he would appeal against his suspension by the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) because he did not want to take money for doing nothing.
Mr Dizaei, who is facing a retrial for corruption, was suspended on full pay on Friday night within hours of the disclosure that he had been reinstated to the force.
The 49-year-old, who walked free from jail in May after his conviction was quashed, will receive his salary of around £90,000 a year before standing trial again in January.
Mr Dizaei told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme yesterday he would be appealing ‘out of principle’.
He said: ‘I think your ordinary citizen will say if a person is being paid a pay package, he should earn and work for that money.
‘There are plenty of jobs I could be doing to earn the money I am being paid without interfering with front-line policing.’
He accused long-standing members of the MPA of being suspicious of non-white officers in senior positions at the Met.
