The Cambridge Analytica's Electoral Commission has fined pro-Brexit group Leave.EU £70,000 ($95,125) for four breaches of election law, and referred CEO Liz Bilney to the police, amid allegations she had "committed criminal offences over campaign spending". The Commission found the lobby group had spent more than the permitted amount for non-party registered campaigners, and said the overspend could have been "considerably higher". Leave.EU co-founder Arron Banks claimed the fine was a "politically motivated attack" and would be challenged in court.
