MP calls for NCA to consider dealings of Tory donor Mohamed Amersi

David Davis uses parliamentary privilege to make serious allegations about Amersi in Commons

The former cabinet minister David Davis has asked for the National Crime Agency to consider the past business dealings of the Conservative donor Mohamed Amersi, saying in parliament that the businessman “facilitated corrupt deals”.

Davis made a string of serious allegations about Amersi under parliamentary privilege, saying the businessman and philanthropist had misused the legal system to pursue a defamation case against Charlotte Leslie, a former Tory MP. The case against Leslie failed last year.
