MADRID, May 19. (EUROPEAN PRESS) –
British police have reported this Thursday that they have suspended investigations into parties held at Downing Street and other government buildings during the coronavirus pandemic after fining a total of 126 people since last January.
London’s Metropolitan Police have indicated that investigations have found indications that restrictions imposed by the pandemic were being violated at parties and gatherings held on at least eight different dates. Of all those fined, 28 have received between two and five fines.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is at the center of the scandal, has already paid the fine, although the president himself has ruled out that Police would take similar action against him, according to information from the Sky News television network. .
Now, government official Sue Gray will be able to publish her report on these parties, something that could happen in the coming weeks. Excerpts from the report published in January indicated that the Government had experienced “a failure of leadership and judgment”, while stressing that the Executive’s behavior regarding the meeting was “hard to justify”.
