One of our informants has contacted us with the news that OLAF has now sent five files to the UK police. Five UKIP MEPs are mentioned in these files.
You may recall that earlier this month we revealed that OLAF had requested interviews with several UKIP MEPs. They were advised to bring their lawyers to these interviews. See: LINK
OLAF has been investigating UKIP for many months. The investigation concerns allegations that various UKIP MEPs misused their allowances.
Last year various OLAF officials visited Britain in order to interview several UKIP staff members in connection with these allegations. Several ex-UKIP members and officials were also interviewed. See: LINK
We can’t confirm the names of the five UKIP MEPs at the moment. However, one is said to be a former leader of UKIP.
Is that why he postponed his appearance on a certain programme?
Dear Junius.
ReplyDeleteGerard Batten is not one of the MEPs to have a file sent to the police.
