Twenty partygate fines to be issued for Covid breaches, Metropolitan Police says
Tuesday 29 March 2022, 4:56am
Twenty fines relating to the Met Police partygate investigation will be issued after officers viewed evidence suggesting Covid rules had been broken without reasonable excuse.
The Met, which is investigating at least 12 allegedly illegal gatherings on government premises during the coronavirus pandemic, confirmed it will not release the names of the individuals it fines.
It is not clear whether Boris Johnson, who is known to have attended a number of the events, is one of those people to receive fines, but Number 10 has previously said it will reveal if the prime minister is issued with a fixed penalty notice.
More than 100 people were under investigation over alleged Covid breaches and it is understood that more fines are likely to follow.
