Arms firm waged dirty war on protesters
The Insight team
THE defence giant BAE Systems has been linked to a private
intelligence-gathering operation that secretly infiltrated
anti-arms trade groups.
The Sunday Times has seen evidence that the company, then called
British Aerospace and the UK's main defence contractor, paid
hundreds of thousands pounds to a consultancy run by the widow of a
wartime secret agent.
The consultancy was controlled by Evelyn Le Chene, a grandmother
from Gravesend in north Kent and a member of the Special Forces
Club.
For at least four years Le Chene, 67, sent BAE regular reports
detailing the activities of the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT).
BAE paid her £120,000 a year, writes Sunday Times.
