The Case Of Mike Tesko

[Mr. Gee]

No, they didn't, and despute me lodging a complaint about what the police had tried to do to me, nothing became of my complaint. However, I had gained the confidence of one of South Yorkshire polices, 'TOP' informants...

Do you know, the 'informant' who agreed to do this against me, even got his 'thousands of pounds reward', for planting that 'gun' in my vehicle, despite alerting me to what had been going on...

Is there no way that we could expose them? Do you know their names?

[mike tesko]

After the revolver was recovered during my trial, the prosecution claimed that tests carried out upon the gun, established that it was not the gun that had fired the shot that killed the officer, but they would say that wouldn't they? All I know is that the 'informant', told me why police wanted him to plant the revolver in my car...

I can tell you all now, the name of the police informant who did this to me, at the request of police who were hell bent in trying to get me off the street. His operational codename is 'CARDINAL', his public name, is Gordon Stanton, he lived in the Goldthorpe area of Rotherham, nr Doncaster...

[mike tesko]

Stantons role was to infiltrate gangs of criminals, and help police set them up so that they got caught red handed, drugs dealers, burglars, armed robbers, all fell foul of these tactics, were arrested, prosecuted, convicted and received substantial prison sentences, Stanton received his financial payments, he never got arrested along with the others, police always found a way to keep him out of the evidential loop...

Stanton even used his wife Deborah, to lure target criminals into the loop...

[Mr. Gee]

Do you think that the real murderer was involved in any way in planting the gun on you?

[mike tesko]

Do you think that the real murderer was involved in any way in planting the gun on you?

I don't believe so, albeit he did tell me that the policeman had been shot by a police issue revolver, which had fallen into the hands of criminals, but the most amazing thing of all that he told me, was that the police issue revolver which fired the bullet that killed Sgt Speed, was not even reported missing let alone stolen at the time of the shooting. He told me that this was why police had possession of it, and were able to hand it to him so that he could plant it in the door of my car...

I think Speed was killed as a result of being shot by another policeman, over some sort of dispute involvibg the management of regional informants who were drafted into different parts of the country to help policing in those areas to become more manageable, Gordon Stanton, was / is one such a regional informant. He has worked undercover on many major police operations throughout, south, west and North Yorkshire...

[mike tesko]

As far as I know, all inquiries into finding Sgt Speeds killer came to an abrupt halt once I revealed details of the revolver that police planted in my car with help of an informant, so that they could arrest me from that car, search the car, find the revolver, carry out tests upon it, link it to the Speed murder, charge me with having involvement in his murder, when I hadn't...

Informant on that occasion was 'CARDINAL', police officers were from South Yorkshire police, seconded to the No.3 Regional Crime Squad (CARDINAL was DC Hague's, and DS. Glossop's, nark)...

[mike tesko]

It is to my knowlege that police use criminals they are either prepared to pay substantiall cash rewards, or turn a blimd eye, when these informants commit criminal offences, or both, if it means the police can get a result solving crimes that these informants played some sort of a role in...

Very true Mike.  I have personal experience of this, on a major scale.

I agree Neil, why does this practice prevail? It exposes ordinary members of the public to abuse, violence, or the peril of death, surely it is not worth such a price to have to pay, just so police can add a notch to thier crime detection figures...

What a joke, what an insult...

I agree Mike.  It should not happen.

[mike tesko]

I believe thst as many as 80% of detected crimes, involve informants in one form or another...

Now, I am not totally against someone informing to the police, in given circumstances. In fact, are there any circumstances in which I myself might become an informer? If I were being honest, I would have to say, yes, but I would not be prepared to put anyone at risk of being offended against, at peril of either physical, emotional or psychological pain, if I had deliberately been invplved in planning, or carrying out such a crime...

Well there's your answer then. It works. I knew a few coppers (uniformed) and they said there is always the danger that because these plain clothes officers are often inticed into crime simply because they mix with the criminals a lot.

[petey]

My freedom abd innocence was sacrificed for the sake of keeping the lid on the Hillsboro' scandal and cover up...

Clearly you have absolutely nothing to back up this rubbish.

Hillsborough and the subsequent lies which prevailed for so long have absolutely nothing to do with your arrest.

The truth came out over 23 years later following incredible work done by the families, HFSG, HJC and many others, leading to the Hillsborough Independent Panel releasing their report on the disaster on September 12 2012.

To claim 'credit' that the lies and real truth were not revealed earlier was because of you is not only wrong, but insensitive, grossly misleading and deeply distressing for those who suffered at and as a result of Hillsborough.

By all means argue your own case, but don't attempt to link yourself to Hillsborough, without compelling evidence, as this is very insensitive and hurtful.

Imagine how victims of the dead feel if they read this. "Well everything we did is worthless. The truth would have come out crystal clear, years ago but for some guy called Mike!" - HURTFUL, MISLEADING, INSENSITIVE, DISRESEPCTFUL AND WRONG
