John Dyson to look into issues including original internal inquiry and use of fake bank documents
The BBC has appointed a former supreme court judge to investigate how Martin Bashir obtained an interview with Princess Diana in 1995, as the broadcaster attempts to put a stop to damaging headlines on the topic.
John Dyson has been asked to investigate whether the BBC swept Bashir’s use of fake bank documents under the carpet when its original internal investigation cleared the award-winning journalist of wrongdoing.
