Call for wider probe into Banks
THE investigation into Brexit money-man Arron Banks should be widened, says an MP.
The Leave.EU backer is alleged to have sought Russian support for his mining business in South Africa and Lesotho.
He is also embroiled in allegations that he sought military support for a Lesotho politician – all strongly denied by Mr Banks. Labour’s Stephen Kinnock said yesterday: “The public deserves to know the source of £9million Mr Banks donated to Leave.eu, and what was discussed in meetings [he] held with senior Russian officials.”
The Electoral Commission is probing donations Mr Banks made before the 2016 EU referendum.
