Ex-Policeman Fined £10K For Misusing PSNI Computer
A former PSNI officer has been fined almost £10,000 after misusing a police database to access information.
Forty-nine year old Alan Marchini used the database to look up information including records of a girlfriend and of a man who accused him of assault.
It was heard in Belfast Crown Court today that Mr Marchini accessed the record’s system 36 times without authorisation during a four-year period.
It is understood that the former police officer used the system to gain information on a man who accused him of common assault only hours before being questioned about the allegations.
He also used the database to look up information about a former girlfriend and family members.
