There’s ‘two other high-profile Jimmy Saviles on the prowl’, TV investigator claims
A TV investigator who helped unmask Jimmy Savile as one of Britain's worst ever paedophiles claims there are two other celebrity sex predators still out there. Mark Williams-Thomas, 48, has told cops about the “high-profile” pair and said the “floodgates will open” when one of them dies. Detectives have investigated the celebrities but the Crown Prosecution Service has not got enough evidence to press charges, reports the Daily Star. Mr Williams-Thomas now fears their alleged predatory behaviour will not be revealed until they die – much like the case with disgraced Savile. The former Surrey Police detective exposed Savile as prolific paedophile in a 2012 programme for ITV. The documentary was shown just months after the Jim’ll Fix It presenter died aged 84 in 2011.

Mystery football club secretly investigated over fears it’s a front for money laundering – and it may not be the only one
AT least one professional football club is suspected to be a front for money laundering, MPs heard today. The Security Minister said there is an ongoing probe into allegations of criminal activity in UK football. But he refused to reveal which club is under investigation from the "British FBI" - and hinted more than one team could be involved. A number of top clubs have been taken over by overseas tycoons who made their fortunes in lightly regulated economies. Minister Ben Wallace told a Commons committee the sports industry is now at risk of being used to hide ill-gotten gains. Labour MP John Mann asked him: "When it comes to money laundering, how many professional football clubs have been deemed as requiring investigation currently?" Mr Wallace replied: "I know of a professional football club or clubs under investigation. "I couldn't reveal how many and what they are, for that is an operational matter." He added: "There are live investigations that go on all the time and to expand … [Read more...] about Mystery football club secretly investigated over fears it’s a front for money laundering – and it may not be the only one
