Police spy dubbed the 'Met's Mata Hari' married activist she targeted

The agent, known publicly only by her false identity Christine Green, became so involved with the campaigner during her deployment that she left her husband and quit the Met altogether

A female police spy known as the "Met's Mata Hari" married an activist she targeted while undercover in an animal rights group.

The agent, who used the fake identity Christine Green, became so involved with the campaigner, a prominent saboteur then in his 30s, during her deployment that she left her husband and quit the Met altogether. She told her lover the truth and they lived in Cornwall and Scotland before settling in Sweden, the Mail on Sunday reports.

The true identity of the officer, one of only a few female members of the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS), cannot be revealed for legal rea
