On CFC forums, we call that site the 'Daily Fail'. Of course they would publish a story like this, they are a crazed right-wing newspaper.
The BBC did a better report on this, in which they quoted the man as saying that he had not actually been advising the police at all, and that the charges related to terrorism in Tunisia were politically-motivated.

Yes he is. For some reason they are showing really old photos of him on all the news agencies.
