British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has sacked Conservative Party Chairman and Minister without Portfolio Nadhim Zahawi for breaching the “code” of good ministerial conduct in connection with his tax return scandal.
In a letter sent to Zahawi, which was reported this Sunday, the head of the Conservative Government points out that “it is clear that there was a serious violation of the ministerial code.”
The scandal around Zahawi broke out a few days ago after he admitted that he had paid a fine to the British Treasury (HMRC, for its acronym in English) after detecting an error, which he described as “unintentional”, in the payment of taxes .
As revealed a few days ago by the newspaper “The Guardian”, Zahawi had come to agree with the Treasury to settle an outstanding debt with a surcharge of 30%, for which he paid a total of 4.8 million pounds (5.47 million euros ).
According to Zahawi, who was finance minister last year, the surcharge was related to the polling firm YouGov, which he founded in 2000.
