The police watchdog is set to review evidence provided by West Midlands Police regarding the ban of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a football match in Birmingham. The force faces accusations of misrepresenting threats and providing misleading information to MPs, prompting calls for the resignation of its chief constable. The Independent Office for Police Conduct will consider findings from an upcoming report and evidence presented to the Home Affairs Select Committee. The controversy centers on intelligence assessments, concerns about local community tensions, and claims of violence among Maccabi supporters, with MPs scrutinizing the force's decision-making and transparency.
