LONDON (AP) – British police said Wednesday that they have opened a criminal investigation into allegations that anti-immigration party Reform UK broke rules against foreign donations.
Last week, Channel 4 broadcast an undercover investigation in which two senior Reform UK officials appeared to discuss ways money from an American financier could be channeled through his U.K.-based son.
U.K. electoral law says parties can only accept donations from British voters or U.K.-registered businesses.
The Metropolitan Police force said that it has decided “that there are potential offences requiring investigation.”
The party suspended the two officials, but leader Nigel Farage has denied Reform UK broke British electoral law.
