GMP officer told supervisor she'd held her Covid wedding over FaceTime - but she was caught out
A GMP officer used a fake marriage certificate after she was caught telling 'lies' about her wedding during the covid pandemic, a misconduct hearing has heard.Upon entering the house, officers found the halls were decorated and 'a number of females' were dressed in traditional clothes.Matloob later told her supervisor that this was an Islamic wedding ceremony conducted via video call using FaceTime with only her family present.
At the time, weddings were permitted, but only six people could attend. Representing GMP at the misconduct hearing, solicitor Martin Forshaw told the panel that many of the claims Matloob made about that evening - in a message to her supervisor the day after and in statements months later - were 'lies'.
He said: "During the course of the investigation, there were several occasions where she had the opportunity to come clean and explain what had actually happened. That culminated in her providing a false marriage certificate to the Professional Standards department to support these untruths, implicating her husband, implicating the Imam involved as well as attempting to mislead the investigating officers.
