- Farage fights more scrutiny as British police investigate donations linked to fraudster’s family
British police are investigating 500,000 pounds in donations to Reform UK from Fiona Cottrell, mother of a fraudster, under Section 61 of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the inquiry, which follows a referral from the Electoral Commission, and has interviewed two people under caution but made no arrests. The investigation adds to scrutiny of Reform UK and its leaders, including Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick, who face separate probes into political donations.
