Nigel Farage, UK Reform party leader, is under investigation after receiving a £5 million personal gift from Christopher Harborne, a billionaire linked to crypto firms Tether and Bitfinex. The gift, given before the 2024 UK general election, triggered a Suspicious Activity Report by bankers, prompting inquiries by the UK's National Crime Agency and Parliamentary Standards Commissioner.
