Brian 和 Hamza:伯明翰市议会试图掩盖一份关于特洛伊木马事件的审计报告,该报告对事件的叙述与官方说法相悖。他们收到了市议会律师的警告信,要求他们交出所有机密文件并停止报道。为了保护消息来源和自身安全,他们销毁了报告副本。 Peter Hay:审计报告存在根本性缺陷,结论完全错误。市议会经过彻底调查后,认为报告结论完全错误,该报告考虑不周、构思错误且时机不当。 Andrew Bannister:警方最初的假设是Wazna Dar策划了教师的辞职。然而,在调查过程中,警方发现学校有监控录像显示辞职信是由第三方送达的,并且学校领导团队目睹了信件的打开过程。警方最终改变了对Wazna Dar的看法,认为她可能是诈骗案的受害者。 Wazna Dar:Wazna Dar否认参与伪造辞职信,并声称自己是受害者。她利用特洛伊木马信件作为证据,为自己辩护,并最终促使市议会撤回了审计报告。 Brian 和 Hamza:伯明翰市议会否认了他们掩盖审计报告的指控,但没有解释撤回报告的原因。市议会暗示他们掌握了我们不知道的信息,导致他们改变了对事件的理解。他们对审计报告的撤回和对特洛伊木马信件的处理前后矛盾,这表明他们可能存在掩盖真相的行为。
