Met Police End Election Betting Probe with No Charges; Gambling Commission Continues Investigation
Aug 23, 2024, 12:53 PM
The Metropolitan Police have concluded their investigation into a betting scandal involving bets placed on the July 4 UK general election date, with no criminal charges being filed. The probe included seven police officers, among them Rishi Sunak's close protection officer, who were suspected of misconduct in public office. However, the Met determined that the evidence did not meet the threshold for such charges. The case has now been passed to the Gambling Commission, which will continue to investigate potential breaches of the Gambling Act 2005.
