British police today closed their investigation into the Kovid-19 quarantine parties, which were fined 126 in Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Downing Street office, in a scandal that raised questions about the prime minister’s leadership.
Johnson has faced widespread calls from opposition politicians and some of his own party to resign over the “party door” scandal, after it was revealed that he and officials violated strict rules his government had put in place to contain Covid-19.
He and Finance Minister Rishi Sunak were fined last month for a cabinet meeting to celebrate the prime minister’s 56th birthday in June 2020, when social gatherings were virtually banned. His spokesman said he received no further sentences after the investigation ended.
The Prime Minister initially stated that there is no illegal party and all rules are followed. He has since made a series of apologies, however, despite rejecting requests to resign and denying that he had knowingly done any wrongdoing.
Police said the investigation, which examined 510 photos and 345 documents, was completed.
Were 83 people fined out of 126 notifications published? 53 were administered to 35 men and 73 to 48 women.
Johnson’s spokesman said police had confirmed that the prime minister would not receive any further sentences.
“The Prime Minister is pleased with the outcome of the investigation and wants to thank the police for their work,” the spokesperson said. said.
Johnson’s wife Carrie, who was fined for Johnson’s birthday party, will not receive any further sentences.
