    Default Murky money in Brexit campaign

    A very curious, if not odd tale:
    The shadowy donor group that gave the Democratic Unionist Party £425,000 during the Brexit referendum campaign has links to the former Director General of the Saudi intelligence service – also the father of the current Saudi Ambassador to the UK – openDemocracy can reveal.
    The donation to Arlene Foster’s party – which was used to fund key Leave campaign advertisements across the UK in the run up to the European referendum – was initially kept hidden because of Northern Ireland’s donor secrecy laws.
    (Near the end) The DUP’s so-called revelation tells us nothing about the true origins of their vast campaign donation.

    Placed here as this thread has a variety of such posts. I do not regard the Brexit campaign as extreme, some do here.
