Alleged Links With The Exclusive Brethren

The Labour Party claims that members of the Exclusive Brethren church are behind many of the anti-Labour Party allegations published by Investigate. The connection is that private investigator Wayne Idour, who has previously done work for the Exclusive Brethren, is one of the sources for the May 2007 story about police corruption. Investigate responded by calling Labour's allegations a deliberate smear campaign and a "conspiracy theory", saying the magazine had a wide range of sources and that all stories had been generated through routine inquiries. Idour's role as an informant in the 2007 police story was because he had served in the Dunedin police at the relevant time. Other sources were quoted in the article, including interviews with eyewitnesses.
