Bailey begins High Court case against gardaí and State

The High Court has heard efforts were allegedly made by gardaí to demonise Ian Bailey as part of an effort to wrongly implicate him in the death of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

The journalist who lives in Schull, Co Cork wants access to Garda files as part of his legal action for damages against the State in which he claims unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, assault, battery and trespass to the person.
