Former police chief Ali Dizaei has lost his appeal against his conviction for misconduct and perverting the course of justice. Three judges at the Court of Appeal in London dismissed a challenge brought by the ex-Scotland Yard commander, who was found guilty for a second time at a retrial in February last year. The decision was announced by Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge. Iranian-born Dizaei, 50, from Acton, west London, had argued that his conviction was “unsafe”, but Lord Judge said the conviction “was and remains safe”.
