Boris Johnson breached rules by being 'evasive' over links to hedge fund, says watchdog
Boris Johnson breached government rules by being evasive about his connections to a hedge fund that facilitated a meeting with the Venezuelan president, as per a watchdog.
Despite repeated requests to clarify his ties with the firm, Johnson did not provide clear answers or deny media reports linking him to Merlyn Advisors on a non-contractual basis.
An online exchange of letters revealed Lord Pickles questioning Johnson's involvement with Merlyn Advisors, with Johnson asserting no need for Acoba advice before meeting President Maduro.
