Apologies for the misunderstanding.
I do make a link here, in regards whistle blowing and the MOD attitude towards it.
Let's just pretend this whistle blower is correct in his story and should be taken at face value.
Something like being considered a flight risk by the MOD would allow them to more severely punish him, or deter him from voicing his claims, even if they had no chance of getting a sound conviction.
