Posted in politics | Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 | Trackback
According to a British media report a key official close to British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been arrested in connection with a probe into alleged party political corruption.
The BBC and Sky News television have reported the director of Government Relations at Mr Blair’s Downing Street offices, Ruth Turner, was arrested at her home address in London and later released on bail.
London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed that a woman had been arrested and bailed but did not name Ms Turner, who performs a liaison role between government and Mr Blair’s governing Labour Party.
Ms Turner, who was questioned but not arrested last year, is the fourth person to have been arrested in the probe.
Officers are looking into whether seats in the unelected upper chamber of the House of Lords were offered for financial donations.
