Former Prime Minister of Great Britain Boris Johnson has become the object of new complaints about possible new violations of the rules of combating COVID-19, informed sources said on Tuesday, AFP and Agerpres write.

The former Conservative government leader, who was forced to resign last summer after a series of scandals, mainly involving Downing Street parties that broke anti-Covid rules, has already been fined.

But, as The Times reported on Tuesday, government services (the “Cabinet”) filed new complaints with the police as new evidence came to light in the course of preparing an investigation into the fight against the pandemic.

London police said they are “assessing” information provided by the Cabinet on May 19 about “potential” breaches of anti-covid rules at Downing Street between June 2020 and May 2021.

As reported by The Times, the Thames Valley Police also confirmed that they had received reports of events in Checkers, the country residence of the British Prime Ministers.

A spokesman for Boris Johnson condemned “an apparent politically motivated attempt to make something out of nothing” in a statement to The Times, noting that the former prime minister’s lawyers had argued both in the Cabinet Office and during the ongoing parliamentary inquiry that the events in question were legal.

Boris Johnson is the subject of a parliamentary inquiry into whether he lied to Parliament, repeatedly claiming that Downing Street was following all sanitary restrictions during the pandemic.

On March 22, Boris Johnson was interrogated by the commission for more than three hours in this case, which could lead to the fact that he lost his seat as a deputy, and he “putting his hand on his heart” declared that he would not lie to the parliament.
