Dale Semper ‘feels some justice has been done’ after apology and settlement but moment ‘bitter sweet’

A black executive who sued the Metropolitan police for £1m has told of the “bitter-sweet moment” of reaching a settlement with the force after alleging that he was racially profiled.

Dale Semper was pulled over in his car by police officers in August 2017 and wrongly accused of involvement in gun crime, something he said had a devastating impact on his job as a bank manager, his finances and his mental health.
