Downing Street reportedly asked the Metropolitan Police to keep some 300 photos collected during the probe into alleged staff parties during a lockdown. According to ITV News, a leaked Cabinet Official document revealed that the police force had pledged to keep the names of any individual handed a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) fine as punishment confidential.
It is to mention that the police reportedly had an image of UK PM Boris Johnson holding a can of beer at an alleged party at 10 Downing Street. He is thought to have attended six events that are currently under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Service. Johnson has repeatedly denied breaching COVID norms. He has also refused to declare whether he will quit considering the scenario where he will be penalised by the police on several occasions. Johnson previously said that he would wait until the Met’s inquiry was completed before revealing his response.
The Scotland Yard is writing to more than 50 people in Westminster, including Prime Minister Boris and his wife Carrie Johnson, asking them to account for any potential rule violations. The police will then decide whether or not to report them to the ACRO, which is the criminal records office. Met stated that the documents have legal status and must be filled out completely.
The officials said that her resignation will have no impact on the Met Police’s Partygate investigation, according to Mirror. Susan Hall, chair of the London Assembly police and crime committee, stated that Sadiq Khan needs to appoint a new Commissioner at the earliest possible.
