Garda watchdog to investigate handling of case

With the end of the extradition process, the focus in the ongoing Ian Bailey saga now shifts to the Garda ombudsman investigation.

As revealed in the Irish Examiner last month, the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission has decided to investigate how gardaí handled the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder probe.

The investigation is one of the most sensitive to be carried out by the Garda watchdog to date.
