Episode Details

Imtiaz Fazel, the Inspector General of Intelligence, is suing to overturn his suspension and revoked security clearance, alleging a politically motivated crackdown after he was ordered to investigate corruption within the Crime Intelligence division — including a suspicious hotel purchase and a controversial brigadier appointment.
