Taranissi, an Egyptian who has helped mothers give birth to 2,300 babies in seven years, denies any wrongdoing. His lawyers claim that Panorama researchers forged at least four referral letters from nonexistent GPs to gain access to his clinics.
Police took a statement from Taranissi earlier this year and now want to question Simmonds, who oversaw the IVF sting, about the letters. The BBC claims they were “justified” in the context of the undercover probe.
A BBC spokesman said: “We are more than happy to cooperate with the police. They indicated at the outset that they would want to speak to Mr Simmonds.” A spokesman for the Yard said: “ Inquiries are still ongoing.”
