英国《卫报》的持续调查揭露了改革党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇及其团队复杂的资金往来。1法拉奇在2024年4月接受了亿万富翁捐赠者克里斯托弗·哈博恩500万英镑的礼物。1与此同时，被定罪欺诈犯乔治·科特雷尔与多名党内人士之间存在可疑的金融交易。1
科特雷尔在2024年向其母亲菲奥娜转移了超过200万美元。1菲奥娜在2024年5月进行了两笔各25万英镑的捐赠，并在6月10日通过筹款工具"英国意味着商业"向改革党捐赠100万英镑，其中50万英镑几乎立即进入该党账户。1此外，科特雷尔在2024年底向改革党副领导人理查德·蒂斯贷款78,100英镑。1
目前，英国警方正在进行关于2024年捐赠的调查，两名议会标准委员会的调查预计在秋季完成。1
The Guardian has revealed an intricate web of financial transactions involving Reform UK leadership and their associates, raising questions about the party's funding sources and internal financial practices.1 Party leader Nigel Farage received a £5 million gift from billionaire donor Christopher Hahn in April 2024.1 Separately, multiple party figures have been linked to suspicious financial dealings with George Cotterell, a convicted fraudster.
The financial flows involving Cotterell and his associates paint a detailed picture of fund movement into the party.1 In 2024, Cotterell transferred over $2 million to his mother Fiona, who subsequently became a significant donor to Reform UK.1 On June 10, 2024, Fiona donated £1 million to Britain Means Business, a fundraising vehicle for the party, with £500,000 of that sum flowing into Reform UK almost immediately.1 Fiona made two additional donations of £250,000 each in May 2024.1 Late in 2024, Cotterell extended a loan of £78,100 to party deputy leader Richard Tice.1
The revelations have triggered official scrutiny at multiple levels.1 Police have conducted cautious interviews with two individuals regarding the 2024 donations, and two parliamentary standards investigations are underway, with completion anticipated in autumn.1
