New evidence sent to CPS contradicts statement given by Boris Johnson’s top adviser
Police and the Crown Prosecution Service have been handed a 225-page dossier urging them to investigate Dominic Cummings for allegedly perverting the course of justice over a statement about his journeys to the north-east at the height of the pandemic.
The former regional chief prosecutor, Nazir Afzal, said Cummings’ claims during a press conference in Downing Street’s rose garden on 25 May, affected the course of justice as they were made as Durham police’s investigation into his behaviour was already under way.
