Earlier it was reported that law enforcement officers were interested in the bet of a member of the Conservative Party Craig Williams, who guessed the day of the expression of Will three days before its announcement and won 400 pounds.
The police found out that the politician was not the only person in the entourage of the head of government who suspiciously accurately predicted the British campaign to the polling stations on July 4. Laura Saunders, who has been running for the Conservatives and has been working for the party since 2015, also won money from a bookmaker's office. In the end, the investigators found out that the bets were made by the security officer, in this case resorting to arrest.
The prime minister's office in Downing Street declined to comment on the situation. The Liberal Democrats, one of Sunak's rival parties in the election, called on the prime minister to immediately announce an internal government investigation into the betting business.
