'Masons Paid Me to Flee Country' - Accused Policeman

An ex-policeman claims he was paid 2,000 pounds by brother Freemasons to help him

leave the country after he was accused of corruption. Former Metropolitan detective-sergeant John Symonds alleges that the money came

from other masons in the police who feared exposure of a racket involving payments

from pornographers. In an interview for Granada TV documentary series, Inside the Brotherhood, Mr. Symonds

says he went into hiding after being given the cash. He vanished six weeks before he

was due to stand trial.
