Boris Johnson avoids more fines as police end ‘Partygate’ probe

Prime Minister Boris Johnson won’t be fined again for breaking coronavirus regulations after London police concluded their probe into rule-breaking gatherings held at Downing Street during lockdown.

The Metropolitan Police said on Thursday that it’s made 126 referrals for fines as part of its investigation into “Partygate.” While police said they have not yet informed all recipients of their possible fines, Johnson’s spokesman, Max Blain, said the premier has been told he won’t be fined again, after receiving one last month.

The individuals — who London’s Metropolitan Police Service did not identify — have or will be fined over parties that took place at the heart of British government between May 2020 and April 2021.
