N1 SlovenijaIndependentLeft5 hr. agoNigel Farage, vodja britanske desničarske stranke Reform UK, se sooča z novimi obtožbami zaradi neprijavljenih daril, ki jih je prejel od zaveznika, sicer obsojenega goljufa, George Cottrella. Poročilo časopisa Sunday Times navaja, da je Cottrell, 32-letni kripto podjetnik iz aristokratske družine, Farageu plačal za varnostne storitve in osebje, ki je upravljalo njegovim družbenim medijskim projektom, preden je leta 2024 napovedal vrnitev v politiko. Cottrell je leta 2017 v ZDA priznal krivdo za bankarsko goljufijo in bil obsojen na osem mesecev zapora. Novi poslanci morajo prijaviti darila, vključno s plačili v naravi, ki so jih prejeli v zadnjem letu pred volitvami, razen če jih ni mogoče šteti za povezane s politično dejavnostjo. Farage je izjavil, da je Cottrell plačal udeležbo na konferenci. Robert Jenrick iz stranke Reform UK je za BBC povedal, da je Cottrell 'stari prijatelj' Faragea, ki mu je plačal za osebje in varnostnike preden je postal poslanec, in dodal, da je Farage 'zelo redko' bival v nepremičnini, ki jo je najel Cottrell. Farage je že predmet preiskave parlamentarnega odbora za etiko zaradi neprijavljenih donacij v višini pet milijonov funtov, ki jih je prejel od

DnevnikIndependent🔒Left6 hr. agoThe leader of Britain's far-right party Reform UK, Nigel Farage, faces new allegations of corruption after reports emerged that he did not disclose benefits received from a convicted fraudster, George Cottrell. According to the Sunday Times, Cottrell, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur from an aristocratic family, allegedly paid for security services and staff managing Farage’s social media before Farage announced his return to politics in 2024. Cottrell was previously convicted of bank fraud in the U.S. and served eight months in prison. New parliamentary rules require MPs to report gifts, including payments received within 12 months of elections, unless they can be reasonably considered related to political activity. Farage has stated that Cottrell paid for conference attendance, according to AFP. Robert Jenrick, another member of Reform UK, told the BBC that Cottrell was a 'close friend' who paid for staff and security before Farage became an MP, and that Farage rarely lived in the property rented by Cottrell.
