Investigations departments talk to each other because one investigation may impact the other. SO when the BBc Spokesperson on the news last night was claiming they knew nothing, I was shouting bullsh*t at the screen.
The BBC needs to be very carful how they handle this but its clear they dont give a ******. To give him a pay rise during his suspension. The optics are terrible. They also need to explain why they weren't more involved in the Met investigation not claim they knew nothing about it.

TBF on the pay rise I genuinely reckon that will have been contractually pre-arranged and they wouldn't have had grounds to break the contract while he was just "under investigation" without opening themselves up to legal action had nothing come of the accusations. It's different now that he's been charged. I doubt they sat round a table and said "Let's give him more money!" they'll have consulted a legal team and been advised to honour what was in his current contract (for the time being).
