Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s police bodyguards have been arrested over alleged bets on the date of Britain’s national election made before it was announced. In Britain, bets can be placed on any event which includes election dates.
So the Gambling Commission of the country suspects that this security guard to the prime minister had pre-knowledge of the election date which has been kept secret. The police officer will be charged with misconduct because cheating by acting on inside information is a criminal offense.
But if I may ask, how were they able to discover that he made such bet regarding the actual date for the election? And secondly, how was the Gambling Commission of the country able to know that the gambler was the security guard to the prime minister? Or does it mean every bet played on a U.K casino are always registered with an ID Card and job location of each gambler, for them to have known he was the security guard of the Prime Minister? Because I think I'm still yet to understand how it all happened.
