UK: Police investigate possible foreign donations to Reform UK
Allegations against Reform UK of dubious party donations emerged last week. Two party officials were suspended. Now the police are investigating.
The Metropolitan Police in London has launched a criminal investigation into the right-populist party Reform UK. The probe is over suspected breaches of a ban on foreign donations, following a Channel 4 undercover investigation. Two senior party officials were caught on camera discussing how to receive money from an American donor via his son living in the UK. Reform UK has suspended the two officials, while party leader Nigel Farage denies any wrongdoing.
