Update: 20 August 2020
On June 5 2020, the BTP invited the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to independently review the available evidence in the Victoria Station investigation involving Belly Mujinga.
The BTP said: “In recognition of the wider public interest in the circumstances of this case, whilst we made the decision not to charge, we have now invited independent review by the CPS of the available evidence, and whether there are any further lines of enquiry in relation to BTP’s position on the prospect of meeting the general principle of a successful prosecution.”
The CPS have now concluded their review and you can read their statement on the CPS website.
Update: 26 June 2020
Following the high level of public interest in the Belly Mujinga case, BTP has released a further statement on the investigation into the incident at Victoria Station, which you can see on the BTP website.
Due to the high volume of emails received by BTPA, it will not be possible to respond individually to all but the above statement answers many of the questions in the emails we received.
The BTPA received a significant number of emails requesting the release to the public of the CCTV footage of the alleged spitting incident at Victoria Station. Whilst it is always our preference to provide a personal response to correspondence the BTPA does not have the resources to respond to each of these requests on an individual basis. Therefore, this statement forms our response to the FOI request for the CCTV footage of the incident.
The BTPA is the oversight body of the BTP and as such has no operational or investigatory role. Therefore, the BTPA does not hold the CCTV footage requested.
The footage is held by BTP and their position in respect of the request to release the CCTV is included in their statement.
If you are dissatisfied with the way that either the BTPA or BTP have responded to this FOI request you may make a complaint to the Office of the Information Commissioner https://ico.org.uk/
