A series of controversial billboards and posters have made the headlines after appearing in London this weekend, accusing the Metropolitan Police of corruption and responsibility for deaths in custody. The posters have appeared in several locations across the capital, including just outside the Met's headquarters at New Scotland Yard and the Royal Courts of Justice.

It has been alleged that anarchist network Special Patrol Group and magazine Strike! are the ones responsible for the controversial campaign, which mimics the current 'Confidence' campaign being run by the Police.

Referencing instances of police bribery and a high number of deaths in police custody, the campaign has utilised the power of out of home advertising to draw attention to a number of alleged shocking statistics and create a stir across the country's media platforms. This move has followed January's leaking of the Operation Tiberious report, which suggested that organised criminals were able to infiltrate Scotland Yard by bribing corrupt officers.

Special Patrol Group attained notoriety with a similar campaign last year, which saw the Police cordon off areas in order to remove defamatory content against the force.
The new campaign has forced the Met Police to take action once again, with a spokesperson confiming that the owners of the advertising space had been contacted and asked to remove the posters.
