THE former boss of Brook House detention centre has accused the whistleblower who uncovered abuse at the site of secretly filming for the BBC for “financial gain and career progression,” an inquiry has heard.
Ben Saunders headed the then G4S-run detention centre near Gatwick from 2012 to 2017, when he resigned.
He was among 15 staff who were sacked or quit following the scandal sparked by a 2017 BBC Panorama investigation, which triggered the current public inquiry.
