Leave.EU has been fined £70,000 and its chief officer has been referred to the Metropolitan police after the Electoral Commission found it had breached multiple counts of electoral law during the referendum to leave the European Union.
The commission said the “unlawful overspend” was at least £77,380 but “may well have been considerably higher”.
Bob Posner, the Electoral Commission’s director of political finance and regulation and legal counsel, suggested the fine would have been bigger but for a cap on the amount the commission can levy.
