UK Court Dismisses Bid To Prosecute Boris Johnson Over False Referendum Claim On EU Costs

Boris Johnson

A British High Court has dismissed misconduct allegation against the former UK Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson over claims that the EU receives £350 million a week from the UK during the Brexit campaign.

According to reports, the allegation was raised by a businessman Marcus Ball over a crowd-funded initiative.

Meanwhile, Johnson’s lawyer in his defence described the allegation as a “nonsense” and “politically driven” campaign.

Boris, who is the favourite to replace Theresa May as Prime Minister after she officially steps down on Friday, was issued with a summons last month to appear at court, to answer charges of three counts of misconduct in a public office, but that decision has now been overturned.
