Matt Hancock: Insufficient evidence to charge CCTV leak suspects

Two people who are suspected of leaking a video of Matt Hancock kissing his then-aide can’t be charged because there isn’t enough evidence to do so.

The images led to Mr. Hancock resigning as health secretary last year because he broke Covid-19 rules.

Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) started a criminal investigation after it got a report about someone having their data stolen.

But on Wednesday, the ICO called off its investigation because there wasn’t enough evidence to keep it going any longer.

“After taking legal advice, the ICO concluded that there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone with criminal offences under the Data Protection Act 2018,” the watchdog said in a statement.
