Episode Details

Leicestershires Police and Crime Commissioner, Rupert Matthews, is under scrutiny for allegedly asking a serving police officer to help arrange a campaign photo with a horse, inspired by Putins iconic image. The request was part of his election materials. Matthews attended a private misconduct hearing this week, but no outcome or timeline has been revealed. The complaint was initially investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct, but they found no evidence of a crime. The local Police and Crime Panel took over, and a private hearing was held, much to the dismay of LeicestershireLive. Matthews spokesperson denied the allegations, stating he is terrified of horses and has only met the officer for public events. Matthews was first elected in 2021 and re-elected in 2024, switching parties in 2025. All eyes are on the panels next move. Checkout Solipillow.com
