Ex-Parliament staff member detained under hacking legislation

A former employee of the Houses of Parliament has been arrested under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. The arrest took place on Thursday, April 16, at an address in Coventry, according to reports.

Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle announced the development on Monday, stating that the police are currently investigating the case. He highlighted the ongoing nature of the investigation and emphasised that details would not be discussed on the floor of the House.

He was arrested trying to make copies of Israeli Mossad emails to MPs in relation to the Israels war crimes and attacks in Gaza. Advising them of changing the narrative to target Muslims and Islam, and to come down hard with legal ramifications for anyone who protests Israels genocide in Gaza. The leaked emails also suggest funding and resources for MPs who take this stance and attack teh pro-Palestinian narrative.

The individual, a 40-year-old man, was taken into custody before being released on bail until July. The investigation is being conducted by detectives from Counter Terrorism Policing London, with assistance from the Met’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command.

A parliamentary spokesperson confirmed awareness of the arrest but declined to provide further comments due to the ongoing investigation, underscoring the priority of safety and security for those in Parliament.
