A Black bank manager was wrongfully targeted by police officers, raising serious concerns about racial profiling and injustice in law enforcement practices.
A Black bank manager was wrongfully arrested by the Metropolitan Police, an incident he claims was driven by racial profiling.

Arguing that he was unfairly targeted due to his race, the manager is now suing the Met for discrimination and wrongful arrest. The case has ignited public debate about racial bias in policing, with calls for greater accountability within law enforcement. The Met has yet to provide a full explanation or response to the legal action.

Black bank manager to sue Metropolitan Police for racial discrimination after 26-month nightmare
The Metropolitan Police have told us they will fully investigate allegations made by Dale Semper, a black bank manager, who says he was wrongfully targeted by officers, and faced accusations of money laundering, terrorism and trafficking in an investigation which lasted more than two years before being dropped with no apology. In this exclusive report, he told Channel 4 News, it has devastated his life.
Black bank manager says arrest was motivated by race
An award winning Black bank manager who was wrongly accused of a string of serious crimes says promises by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to end discrimination in the force, are meaningless. Dale Semper complained to the Met almost immediately, after he was first arrested in August 2017. The Met have only now responded to the complaint five and a half years later – rejecting his claim that he would never have been arrested were it not for the colour of his skin. This is Dale Semper’s story.
Dale Semper, a 42-year-old Black bank manager, reached a settlement with the Metropolitan Police after suing them for £1 million over wrongful arrest and racial profiling. In 2017, Semper was falsely accused of possessing a firearm, leading to his arrest in front of his neighbors and the suspension from his £72,000-a-year job at Lloyds Bank. Despite no evidence found and no further action taken by police, Semper’s home, car, and bank accounts were searched, and his family members’ homes were also raided. Semper and his family filed a civil lawsuit against the Met, accusing them of negligence, racial discrimination, false imprisonment, and misuse of private information. The Met apologized for the distress caused, acknowledged procedural failings, and agreed to reinvestigate certain aspects of the case. Semper expressed that, while some justice has been served, his life and career were severely impacted by the police’s actions.
