LONDON, April 12 — British police said today they had now made more than 50 referrals for fines over breaches of coronavirus lockdown rules at gatherings in Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s offices and residence.
Police are investigating 12 gatherings held at Downing Street and the Cabinet Office after an internal inquiry found Johnson’s staff had enjoyed alcohol-fuelled parties, with the British leader attending a few of the events himself.
Last month, police said an initial 20 fixed penalty notices would be issued and further fines were still possible. — Reuters
