Former Conservative MP Craig Williams is one of 15 individuals, including senior Tories, charged by the Gambling Commission for allegedly cheating by placing bets based on advance knowledge of the UK general election date. Williams, along with other notable figures like Russell George and Laura Saunders, lost party support amid the scandal, and the charges stem from actions deemed illegal under the Gambling Act 2005. The accused are set to appear in Westminster magistrates court on June 13, 2025, following an investigation into unfair betting practices.
