If you believed Leave.EU’s claim to be clear of police investigation… think again!
Arron Banks: It seems he and Leave.EU are still under investigation, no matter what that organisation claims.
Eurosceptic referendum campaign organisation Leave.EU has been trumpeting a claim that the Met police has dropped criminal investigations into its behaviour in the run-up to the 2016 vote.
Oh, really?
It seems the claim may have been premature.
While the organisation embarked on a publicity campaign that included showering abuse on its detractors – aided and abetted by its friends in the mainstream media, it seems there was at least one dissenting voice.
It belongs to the National Crime Agency – the organisation running the investigation into Leave.EU.
It issued a statement yesterday:
If, like @andywigmore, you too have lost track of all the different investigations into @LeaveEUOfficial, then here’s the statement from the NCA *today* about their ongoing investigation: https://t.co/e2TieY6jRY pic.twitter.com/IEWzomqh4k

“This is a live investigation, and we are unable to discuss any operational detail, however we are progressing the investigation as expeditiously as possible and will report the outcome of the investigation at the earliest opportunity, once all matters have been thoroughly investigated.”
So there you have it.
It seems all those enthusiastic ejaculations by the Leave.EU camp have been a little premature.

How was this organisation able to do anything, during the Campaign? My understanding is that they were not the official leave Campaign group and that they wanted to go to court, because of that.
It would appear that several Remain Campaign groups fell foul of Electoral £aw, something that has not been widely reported. Why is there, seemingly, no balance in the reporting of these things. Regardless if which way we voted, we deserve the truth and balanced reporting.
I note that the Northern Irish court case was not mentioned on the B.B.C. My mother has the News Channel on, all day.
Which Remain campaign groups? I seem to recall reporting on one. What were the others?
