Redknapp Raid 'Unlawful'!

The court ruled that the search warrant used by City of London Police was invalid.

The force were ordered to pay £1,000 damages to Redknapp - who was offered the Newcastle United manager's job last January but turned it down.

The High Court said procedural failures by City of London Police in applying for the warrant were "wholly unacceptable".

Lord Justice Latham said: "The obtaining of a search warrant is never to be treated as a formality. It authorises the invasion of a person's home."
