The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said the investigation conducted by GMP into the complaints made 'was not adequate, reasonable or proportionate' and that 'lines of enquiry had not been pursued'.
The IOPC directed the force 'to reinvestigate the complaints in line with procedures outlined in
