of the BBC; The MI5 agent, who was alleged to have inflicted violence on his partner, posed a threat to women, and whose case is ongoing, was forbidden by a court decision to reveal his name.

In England, Supreme Court Justice Martin Chamberlain ruled that naming the suspect named X would endanger his life.

On the other hand, the judge said the BBC’s investigations into the matter and the allegations against him were “sufficiently serious and based on reliable evidence”.

The judge also announced that the BBC could continue to report on the case without using the suspect’s name.

Attorney General Suella Braverman, who applied to the court for a naming ban, did not comment on whether X was an MI5 agent. However, Braverman argued that using the name would endanger his life on the one hand, and pose a threat to national security by discouraging people from the spy profession on the other.

BBC, on the other hand, pointed out that there are serious allegations that X, taking advantage of his status in the national intelligence, pressured and frightened his ex-partner, and harassed another woman. Objecting to Braverman’s statements, the BBC argued that the use of names was important to protect women.

The BBC also drew attention to the controversy that MI5 should have noticed X’s behavior and fired him in time.

Until now, all hearings in the case were closed to the press.

He testified without government officials, the BBC and his lawyers.

‘Dangerous to death’

X’s trial continues.

Among the evidence presented by the BBC to the court is a video showing X attacking one of the women linked to the case with a “dangerous weapon”.

The two women, who testified in court and had never met before, said that X posed a great danger to people.

One of the women said, “I think X is dangerous enough to kill a woman. I am afraid that he will do this unless his identity is revealed and his behavior is not challenged.”

But Attorney General Braverman said there was evidence that casts doubt on the “reliability and motivation” of the women’s statements.

Very important for the public good

The BBC announced that it will continue to report on the important developments of the case without using X’s name after the court decision:

“We struggled to describe in as much detail as possible the allegations that the two women were subjected to violence by X. In this way, men abuse their status, put pressure on women, and we believe that the possibility that government agencies are not intervening in this is a very important issue in terms of public interest.”

The BBC also added that it did not understand why the court had chosen to keep X’s identity secret, adding that it was “extremely unusual” for the case to continue in closed session.
