Overview

Tranche 5 of the Inquiry encompasses undercover operations other than those of the SDS or NPOIU. 

As yet, little is known of them other than that one of the operations involved an undercover officer deployed by Avon and Somerset Police. To date, the Inquiry has processed the anonymity applications of a number of them, and they have been given nominals starting with 'RFN'. This is a holding page for documents relating to these anonymity rulings and related documentation.
