Cottrell Crypto Funds and Reform UK | London News

A convicted fraudster allegedly funneled over $2 million to his mother via crypto exchanges just days before she donated hundreds of thousands to Reform UK — sparking a police probe into whether donations were hidden to skirt financial rules. The money, including a $1.4 million transfer, reportedly flowed through an Australian exchange before landing in Fiona Cottrell’s accounts, which she then used to fund Reform UK and its deputy leader. George Cottrell, who lives in Montenegro, hasn’t denied sending the funds, but his lawyers insist the donations were his mother’s own choice. The Metropolitan Police, investigating after an Electoral Commission referral, have interviewed two people under caution — no arrests yet — while Reform UK insists it follows all donation rules and has strict vetting.
