The Conservative Party of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was investigated by Britain’s playing regulators on Saturday over allegations that they had bet on the dates of the general election before its statement.
Nick Mason, the Conservative Party’s key information official, is alleged to be the accused, according to a record in Sunday Times.
We are never permitted to talk with the theme or any other people about anything that is related to any investigation, according to a spokesman for the Conservative Party.
But, the Gambling Commission has not confirmed the names of those under inspection. A committee spokesperson said it would not disclose the details of its investigation, including the names of any people it was looking into, in response to a request for comment on the Sunday Times report.
The UK’s Gambling Commission is looking into the wagers made on July 4 election day by two conservative election hopefuls and the group’s campaign director.
One of the Conservative prospects named in the controversy, Craig Williams, has previously apologised for an error of judgment, and the group’s director of fighting Tony Lee has taken a leave of absence.
A special safety device police officer has also been detained for allegedly betting on the election day.
Sunak’s subsequent controversy over betting has hurt Sunak’s work to regain control of the Labour Party, which is in the lead in the election opinion surveys.
Sunak said on Thursday he was “incredibly unhappy” to learn about the claims against his party coworkers, calling them a “really serious problem”.
