AIPAC London branch leader arrested.

Lord Levy, the London rep of AIPAC, was today arrested for conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

It is the second time Lord Levy has been arrested, but the first time in connection with a conspiracy charge.

In a statement, a spokesman for Lord Levy said he "completely denies any allegations of wrongdoing as there is nothing wrong with selling the odd peerage or two, is there?"

Levy Arrested For 2nd Time

31.01.2007 02:40

Lord Levy arrested for second time (this is the bastard that paid for Blair to poodle along with the war for Israel in Iraq):

By FT reporters

Published: January 30 2007 17:34 | Last updated: January 30 2007 17:42

Lord Levy, Tony Blair’s chief personal fundraiser, has been arrested for a second time in the cash-for-honours police inquiry, it has emerged.

Police sources said that the peer had been arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Lord Levy was arrested when he turned up voluntarily at a police station to have his bail terms renewed. He has not been charged.

This was the third time that Lord Levy had returned to the police to have his bail terms renewed since his first arrest on July 12 last year in connection with the 1925 honours act and the 2001 Political Parties, Elections and Referendums act.

Lord Levy’s spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.

The latest twist in a police inquiry into allegations that Tony Blair sought to reward wealthy businessmen who lent the party millions of pounds in loans by nominating them for peerages follows the arrest of Ruth Turner, Mr Blair’s director of government relations and a senior gatekeeper, on January 19.

Ms Turner was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and in connection with alleged offences under the 1925 honours act. She was later released without charge and bailed pending further inquiries. It was the third time police had quizzed her.

As well as looking into possible breaches of electoral laws and whether honours have been sold illegally, detectives are seeking to establish whether any evidence has been witheld or destroyed.

Scotland Yard said at the time that, as a result, “additional investigation” would be required and the inquiry could run into March before the police send a file to the Crown Prosecution Service. Ms Turner was the first salaried government official to be arrested as part of the 10-month investigation.

Ms Turner and Lord Levy, like all those in the affair, have denied any wrongdoing.

Honours police arrest Lord Levy
Labour's chief fundraiser Lord Levy has been arrested by police investigating cash-for-honours allegations.
He returned to a police station on bail following his arrest last year, and was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Lord Levy, a close ally of Tony Blair, was bailed pending further enquiries.

Police are investigating whether money was donated to political parties in exchange for peerages - all those involved deny any wrongdoing.

Just as AIPAC Spy Agency Comes Under Fire In US


AIPAC has nothing to do with this and you know it

31.01.2007 06:35

Why did you have to insert the name AIPAC into your title. The article has absolutely nothing to do with AIPAC, as has Lord Levy nothing to do with AIPAC. All you're doing is trying to besmirch an unconnected organization for the only reason is that it is identifiably Jewish.

There's a word for people like you.

S'obvious, innit ..

AIPAC - well, they're Zionists, aren't they?

And with a name like Levy, he's got to be a Joo, therefore he's a Zionist, therefore he's part of AIPAC.

Obvious, innit?

sceptic


Doesn't matter

31.01.2007 14:32

Doesn't matter if AIPAC is mentioned or not. They're a Zionist organisation (therefore racist, collonial, capitalist, oligarchical) implicated in US support for the IDF and UN passivity for Israeli war crimes. The fact that their main representative here just shows that they're a little bit extra corrupt. If you're gonna be throwing punches at Bastard Levy, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of an elbow into his associate's kidney.

Anti-Zionist Jew


but what is obvious is

31.01.2007 14:55

That the fact that he is jewish, does have many business ties in israel and is a senior member of several zionist friendly lobby groups is NOT allowed to be pertinant.

That he counts people like Bibi as personal friends, has property to flee to in israel and is very probably an israeli citizen by now is irrelivant.

That he has been involved in the metoric rise in blairs fortunes - literally - and is now being investigated at the highest level for curruption is just a coincidence, and has nothing to do with holding the purse strings of the uk government whilst under the influence of a foreign power.

Dream on.

He's a foreign operative, and that's all that matters.
