In a statement, Scotland Yard confirmed that it values launching an investigation to investigate the event, convened on May 20, two years ago, when citizens abided by strict regulations dictated by the government itself, which restricted contact with other people.
“The Metropolitan Police (London) are aware of extensive information related to alleged violations of the Health Protection Regulations that occurred in Downing Street on May 20, 2020, and are in contact with the government’s Cabinet Office,” said a spokesman. .
There is also an ongoing internal investigation, led by senior British official Sue Gray, to shed light on the holding of a series of alleged festivities in Downing Street during months of confinement.
This investigation will also examine the last known event, to which more than a hundred government employees were allegedly invited, in an email call sent by Johnson’s own secretary, Martin Reynolds, who despite the controversy continues to enjoy the ” confidence “of the conservative leader, according to a spokesman.
There are several witnesses who have revealed to the BBC that Johnson and his wife, Carrie, were among those attending the event, although to date the “premier” has avoided confirming this point.
