A black bank manager who was 'racially profiled' and falsely accused of possessing a firearm has settled his High Court case with the Metropolitan Police after suing them for £1million.

Dale Semper, 42, who was falsely accused of gun crime has settled his case with the Met Police after claiming he was 'racially profiled' Mr Semper said on Tuesday: 'We remain convinced that the actions taken against me were motivated by racism. I hope that my case can be an example to the Met and will assist in Sir Mark Rowley's stated intention to make the Met "truly anti-racist"' Law firm Holborn Adams, representing Mr Semper, previously revealed in a statement that he was suspended from his £72,000-a-year job at Lloyds Bank amid the police activity In a statement on Tuesday, the Met said it stood by the need to act following information it had received, but accepted 'some elements of this case were not handled as well as they could have been'. Following a decision at London's High Court last year, the case had been set to go to trial over Mr Semper and his family's £1m claim Ultimately no further action was taken by police, but Mr Semper's legal team had claimed it caused harm to his life and 'high-flying' career Holborn Adams said the Met has agreed to reinvestigate parts of complaints made by Mr Semper and his family.
