Fines for violating Covid regulations linked to the so-called

Partygate

scandal are also coming from Scotland Yard for British Prime Minister

Boris Johnson

and for the Chancellor of the Exchequer,

Rishi Sunak

, its super minister of the economy.

This was confirmed

by Downing Street

on Tuesday 12 April. 

The Partygate is the scandal related to parties and other events held between 2020 and 2021 in Downing Street and in the Whitehall ministerial offices in

violation of the anti-Covid restrictions

then in force. 

"The Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer received notification today that the Metropolitan Police intends to impose fines on them," confirmed a spokesman for Johnson.

"At the moment we don't have any other details, but we will release them as soon as we have them," he added.

The announcement comes on the sidelines of the communication with which the

Metropolitan Police

(official name of Scotland Yard) had informed this morning of the arrival of another 30 fines in the context of the Partygate investigation, in addition to the first 20 imposed on as many officials in recent weeks.

A communication that had already pushed the leaders of the major opposition parties - from Labor

Keir Starmer

to Liberal Democrat

Ed Davey

- to relaunch the solicitation to Prime Minister Tory to resign: something that

Johnson

- already forced to apologize for the scandal in question - has repeatedly declared that he does not believe he should do.
