Boris Johnson was accused of using connections for personal gain
In the UK, high-ranking officials are prohibited from using communications and contacts obtained during their civil service after leaving office. However, ex-Prime Minister of the Kingdom Boris Johnson was caught in repeated violations of these restrictions, writes the Guardian.
“The ethics watchdog found that Boris Johnson breached rules designed to curb the misuse of contacts and access obtained while in office,” the author reports.
The publication has recently published an expose of Johnson, who lobbied for the interests of the United Arab Emirates in one of the private enterprises. The ex-prime minister used an influential person to promote the necessary ideas, with whom he met several times in his office while being prime minister.
It is also reported that Johnson tried to promote consulting services in Saudi Arabia. He acted through officials from the government of this state. There have been no official comments from the supervisory authority on this matter. Johnson also did not comment on the situation.
