British PM Dismisses Conservative Party Chairman after Tax Probe

London (United Kingdom): British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday dismissed Chairman of his Conservative Party Nadhim Zahawi from the government after a probe into Zahawi’s tax affairs found serious breach of ministerial code.

The UK government released the inquiry report by Sunak’s ethics advisor, Laurie Magnus.

Sunak had ordered investigation into former Chancellor’s tax affairs amid demands from opposition to remove him.

Zahawi was facing allegations of settling a multimillion-dollar unpaid tax bill when was in charge of the country’s Treasury in Boris Johnson government.
