Another held in dossier probe

A FOURTH man has been arrested in connection with a dossier of alleged anti-Semitism by Labour members.

The 44-year-old was arrested in Newham, east London, and remained in police custody last night.

An investigation was launched into alleged anti-Semitism among party members in November after a dossier of evidence was handed to the Metropolitan Police. The probe was prompted after an internal Labour file was obtained by LBC radio.

Three others were arrested in March on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred. It is understood that disciplinary action was taken by Labour against those thought to be under investigation, and they are no longer party members.

A Labour spokesman said the party is committed to challenging antiSemitism. He added: ‘We welcome the police investigating these individuals’ alleged crimes.’
