Information that could lead to a new fine for the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson. In the latter, it was revealed that he was in breach of lockdown rules put in place during the height of the pandemic to accommodate family and friends.
The Cabinet Office referred these possible violations to the police following a review of documents taking place as a result of a public inquiry into COVID-19.
BBC indicated that the Metropolitan Police is evaluating the information received, as well as that of Thames Valley. The information can be found in Johnson’s ministerial diary, which revealed that family and friends flocked to Checkers, a country house, during the pandemic.
The five key moments of Boris Johnson’s fall
The former prime minister was fined in April 2021 for breaching lockdown rules following a meeting on his birthday in June 2020.
The English portal quoted Johnson’s spokesman as saying the breaches are false. “All the events in question were within the rules, either because they were held outside or under some other legal exception. They include regular meetings with officials and advisers. He further noted that this would have a political tone.
According to the Daily Mail, Johnson would consider taking legal action.
The information will also be examined by the Privileges Committee, which could lead to the suspension of parliament and the holding of by-elections in two constituencies.
Last July, Johnson resigned as prime minister.
