An east London borough led by a controversial mayor has been accused of “multiple criminal offences” over its failure to take down Palestinian flags.
Lawyers have written to the Metropolitan Police over the “proliferation” of flags, as well as posters and stickers, with allegedly inflammatory messages in Tower Hamlets.
Lutfur Rahman, the borough’s mayor, had previously been barred from public office for five years for corruption, but having served his ban was voted back into the post in elections in May 2022.
