英国改革党日前发布一份27页的内部调查报告，宣布对党内两名高管丹·朱克斯（Dan Jukes）和詹姆斯·奥尔（James Orr）的融资违规指控予以驳回1。尽管警方自9月初起已启动调查，但改革党在报告中认定两人未违反政党融资法律1。
据卧底记者的拍摄证据，朱克斯和奥尔曾讨论由美国捐赠者资助超过3万英镑民调的方案，以及一项50万英镑的转账计划1。改革党在调查中指出，所讨论的50万英镑转账从未付诸执行1。奥尔在拍摄的谈话中表示这笔款项"技术上可能构成捐赠"，但"现实是我们可以轻易规避风险"1。朱克斯和奥尔在警方调查期间一直处于暂停资格的状态1。
改革党声称将对制作卧底报道的调查组织Verbatim提起诉讼1。
The UK's Reform Party has dismissed allegations that two senior officials broke party funding laws, releasing a 27-page internal investigation report that cleared Dan Jukes and James Orr of wrongdoing 1. The decision comes as police continue their own inquiry into the matter, which began in early September 1.
The controversy stems from undercover footage showing the two officials discussing schemes involving American donor funding 1. According to the recordings, a U.S. donor paid more than £30,000 for polling work, while Jukes and Orr were captured discussing a potential £500,000 transfer arrangement 1. However, the Reform Party maintains that the latter transaction never proceeded 1. During his undercover conversation, Orr acknowledged that such a transfer would "technically be a donation in kind" but suggested "the reality is we could easily get away with it" 1.
Both officials remained suspended from their positions pending the police investigation 1. The party has announced plans to pursue legal action against Verbatim, the investigation organization responsible for producing the undercover report 1.
