The Metropolitan Police are set to issue 20 fines this week to attendees of the “partygate” scandal, according to an announcement made earlier today.
Around 12 events were under investigation for Covid-19 breaches since January by the Metropolitan Police as MPs were known attendees of the events held in Downing Street and Whitehall during the lockdown.
Whitehall sources told BBC that the Met Police will issue 15 fixed-penalty fines initially and may start from Tuesday.
More fines are expected since around 100 people were given questionnaires by the Metropolitan Police for Operation Hillman, which is the name of the investigation.
Operation Hillman is investigating 12 events out of which Boris Johnson attended 3.
The PM had previously addressed the accusations and said that no rules were broken. Boris Johnson has returned his questionnaire however, his answers will not be made public. The PM did confirm, however, that he would disclose any fines imposed on him.
