This is an excerpt from a profile last updated in 2019. The full profile can be found here: https://powerbase.info/index.php/Carlo_Neri_(alias) The women who had relationships him, as welll as other witnesses are due to give evidence in 2026 to The Inquiry, as is HN104 himself.
HN104 Carlo Soracch ('Carlo Neri') was an undercover police officer who infiltrated the Socialist Party and anti-fascists groups. He was active from 2001 to 2006 and based in north and central London - which makes it likely he served with the Special Demonstration Squad. His real name is Carlo Soracchi. He had three sexual relationships in his cover identity.
Much of the following information comes from interviews with various members of the Socialist Party and anti-fascist activists who knew Carlo, worked with him and befriended him, and in particular from two of his partners while undercover.
An investigation conducted through summer and autumn 2015 by the Undercover Research Group together with those spied upon provided sufficient material to identify Carlo's real name and documents confirming he was a serving police officer at the time (details below). We decided not to publish Carlo's real surname as its distinctiveness would invade the privacy of various parties who are not otherwise involved.
Carlo Neri was exposed on Newsnight and in the Guardian in January 2016. It took the police and the Pitchford Inquiry ten months to acknowledge that he indeed had been an undercover officer at the time.
In April 2019, journalist Michael Gillard revealed Carlo's real name Soracchi on Twitter. Gillard is an investigative journalist who has a particular interest in police corruption. In March 2020, notorious fascist Robert Fiore said he intends to take the Metropolitan Police to court, because Carlo tried to persuade two anti-fascist activists to firebombe a large property he owned in London in 2003.
