NEW: Former Brexit MEP/Reform politician Nathan Gill is sentenced to ten and a half years at the Old Bailey on 8 counts of bribery by a Russian agent.
The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb. Details revealed in court raise questions about Nigel Farage’s claim that Gill was "one bad apple". WhatsApp messages show Gill sought to recruit other Brexit/Reform MEPs to make pro-Kremlin statements & that his handler took direct orders from Putin ally Viktor Medvedchuk Image
