Paul Manning, pseudonyms ‘Paul Wright’ and the ‘Englishman’ (born September 21, 1973), is a former Hamilton Police Service officer (Ontario, Canada), Metropolitan Police Service officer (London, UK) and Royal Military Police officer (UK) who worked undercover in an Ontario Provincial Police and Hamilton Police Service joint task force for 18 months, successfully infiltrating the Musitano crime family, Papalia crime family and the Hamilton chapter of Hells Angels.
Manning alleges he was sold out by other serving officers affiliated with organized criminals whilst working undercover and that an attempt was made on his life by members of the Front Lines Bloods.
He further alleges years of police corruption and cover-ups, most of which remain unproven or uninvestigated.
