An inquiry examining alleged war crimes involving members of the UK’s Special Air Service has cost £58 million, according to figures from the Ministry of Defence. The investigation has been running for more than three and a half years, but no findings have yet been made public.
The inquiry concerns allegations linked to the SAS in Afghanistan. The available information does not establish whether any wrongdoing took place, and the investigation’s conclusions have not been published.
The £58 million cost covers the inquiry’s work to date, according to the Ministry of Defence figures. The length of the investigation means the final cost could change if proceedings continue before a report is issued.
No details have been provided in the supplied material about the inquiry’s timetable, the specific allegations under examination or when its findings might be released. The latest known position is that the investigation remains ongoing and has not yet reported its conclusions.
