Court: Cruddas did offer access for cash
Tory ex-treasurer and City financier ordered to return libel payout
FORMER Tory co-treasurer Peter Cruddas did offer access to Prime Minister David Cameron and other party leaders for cash, the Court of Appeal ruled yesterday.
Lord Justice Jackson slammed Mr Cruddas’s offer to would-be donors as “unacceptable, inappropriate and wrong.”
Mr Cruddas was refused the right to appeal to the Supreme Court and now has until the end of the month to repay £130,000 he received in compensation from the Sunday Times.
