Annaleisa Gordon was found to have used a police computer to search for information about her ex-husband , Christopher McNair , and has been sacked . An anti-terror policewoman who used Scotland Yard computers to look for information on her ex-husband has been sacked . PC Annaleisa Gordon conducted the unauthorised searches on Christopher McNair while working for the Met 's counter-terrorism squad in 2010 and 2011 . A court later heard she feared he was dead or missing and was frantically trying to find him . Gordon was found guilty of a data protection offence in 2013 and has now been sacked from the Metropolitan Police . The 50-year-old was appointed counter-terror intelligence officer to the borough of Greenwich , south-east London in 2007 after joining the police in 1988 . A Scotland Yard spokesman said today : 'Police Constable Annaleisa Gordon , an officer attached to Specialist Operations , was dismissed without notice on Monday from the Metropolitan Police Service following a misconduct hearing . ' The force said that Gordon had 'breached standards of professional behaviour ' in relation to 'discreditable conduct and confidentiality ' . The spokesman added : 'The panel agreed these circumstances amount to gross misconduct . She was subsequently dismissed . ' During her trial , the court heard Gordon feared her ex was missing or even dead and that 's why she accessed records , dating back to 2004 . She was convicted of one count of obtaining personal data which breached the Data Protection Act . Sentencing her after her two-day trial at Southwark Crown Court , Recorder Aidan Christie said he accepted her actions were 'entirely out of character ' . He said she not acted out of 'malice or with sinister motives ' , but due to fears Mr McNair was missing . Gordon was fined £350 for the data protection offence . She was cleared of a further two charges in relation to searches for information on two roads , one being her mother 's and the other her own address , between 2009 and 2011 . A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police today confirmed her actions amounted to gross misconduct . The judge said : 'You have no convictions , no cautions , no police warnings and a clean disciplinary record . Your record of service is a credit to you . 'You have references from your former supervisor which speaks in glowing terms of your absolute integrity with sensitive information . 'You accept you should not have go about things in the way you did and should have reported the matter to the missing persons division . 'It was an error of judgment for which you have paid a very high price . '
