Nathan Gill, the disgraced former Brexit Party MEP from Anglesey, has admitted taking Kremlin cash to push Russian propaganda. The 52-year-old pleaded guilty to bribery linked to Ukrainian Kremlin-backed politician Oleg Voloshyn, admitting he took payments to promote pro-Russian narratives in the European Parliament.
Gill Pleads Guilty to Eight Bribery Charges at Old Bailey
In a dramatic hearing at the Old Bailey, Gill confessed to eight bribery counts. Between December 2018 and July 2019, while serving as an MEP for Wales, he accepted cash to advance Russian-backed views on the Ukraine conflict. Each charge carries a jail term of up to 10 years under the Bribery Act 2010.
Voloshyn is charged but remains beyond UK jurisdiction. In Ukraine, he faces treason charges for aiding Russia’s war effort.
This explosive case exposes how foreign money can poison UK politics. While representing Welsh voters in Brussels, Gill secretly served Kremlin interests.
