Fox resigns: Met asked to investigate Werritty on fraud
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15324686
Quote:
The Metropolitan Police has been asked to investigate Adam Werrity, the close friend of former defence secretary Liam Fox, for possible fraud.
Labour MP John Mann has asked the police to probe allegations Mr Werritty used business cards falsely claiming he was an adviser to Mr Fox.
At the same time a firm he set up was receiving money from several wealthy supporters, it has been reported.
Mr Mann said he was also considering asking the Electoral Commission - which regulates political parties and their funding - to consider whether Mr Fox should face criminal proceedings over a failure to declare political donations.
The latest comes after venture capitalist Jon Moulton on Friday said Mr Fox approached him after the election seeking funds for a company set up by Mr Werritty.
The Times newspaper reported that Mr Werritty set up the firm, Pargav, as a not-for-profit company to fund his trips abroad.
Mr Moulton said he was told Pargav was involved in "security policy analysis and research".
