Britain’s governing Conservative Party suspended a lawmaker who is alleged to have misused campaign funds. The Times of London claims Mark Menzies used donors' money for personal medical expenses and to pay off someone who was threatening him. Its report includes a claim Menzies called an aide at 3 a.m.
said Thursday it has suspended a lawmaker who is alleged to have used campaign funds for personal medical expenses and to pay off someone who was threatening him.
It said that in December he called a 78-year-old aide at 3 a.m. asking for help because he had been locked in an apartment by “bad people” who were demanding money for his release. A sum of 6,500 pounds was paid personally by Menzies’ office manager, who was reimbursed from donors’ cash, the newspaper said.
