Police Probe Reform UK Donations | UK News
Description
Metropolitan Police are probing £500k donations to Reform UK via Britain Means Business, a company controlled by ex-chairman Richard Tice, with funds traced to Fiona Cottrell — whose son, a convicted US fraudster, has ties to Nigel Farage. The timing, just before the July 4 election, raises red flags under UK electoral law. Tice claims the donation was his personal decision, while police reportedly briefed the BBC before contacting him — fueling accusations of a smear campaign. The investigation, ongoing since February 2023, examines whether funds were legally sourced, amid a mysterious bank freeze on Reform UK’s account. No arrests yet, but two individuals have been interviewed under caution.
