Maybe at the time, but can't still have whatever undercover investigation going 11 years later
I dont see any of the people at the NH or their associates ever being arrested and charged even after Dai Malyn's review of the case 7 Years since they all appear to be living their lives as before.
You have to ask who are the people being protected here.
Maybe we will have to wait until someone retires before the full story comes out if thats the case we could be waiting a very long time.
Operational investigation its not always about catching the people involved because within the criminal fraternity other criminals rise through the ranks causing changes (so even banging someone up doesnt solve a lot he will either be replaced or has a network around him to carry on the his work when hes in jail)
Its more about the monitering the networks and the people within them these networks are forever changing and growing and this information for police in this type of work is extremely important..And Unfortunately when someone on the fringes of these networks dies the importance of the the work they are doing and the people carrying it out has to be protected.
I am not saying Claudia was directly involved in criminal activities but more that her death may have been caused by a person who was.
Claudia was said to be naive and its like Ray Galloway said and I think Dai Malyn agreed Claudia's life was complex I think some of the people she chose to asscoiate with made her life complex.
She liked to drink to excess and said things she would later regret. I would go back to the 13th March at the NH on Gold cup day when she was very drunk and SC was said not to have socialised with her but stood at the bar not in her company. Did Claudia spill out something that day she shouldnt have, was the problem she was helping JK the problem because of the major stink CL had caused by what she said and JK's partner and other major figures in that group were furious putting JK in the front line to address it with Claudia which she did on CL 15th March visit to the NH, did this erupt into another major argument which is why that visit turned out to be her last to the NG.. So was CL now a loose cannon. Did the situation prompt a visit from a more senior member of the network (maybe from Cyprus?) who could handle it. Was the purchase of vans just part of a cover for him being in the UK. Its has been said he had a relationship with CL even though he has denied this I believe he may well have had some influence over her. Was he the mystery lover on the nite of the 16th was it planned to try and sweetener up before returning on the evening of 17th to use threatening behaviour towards her regarding what she had said in the NH and that this would not be tolerated. (Claudias ex boyfriend said he was intimidating and not the sort of person you would want to get on the wrong side of)
Did he leave there feeling CL was not to be trusted to keep her mouth shut when drunk and so was another plan was put in place for the morning of the 18th that would include invloving the major players at the NH and their local knowledge for dipsosing of the problem permanently.
