The news came to light after Reigate MP Crispin Blunt made a public statement confirming his own arrest. In a surprising turn of events, Blunt revealed that he had been interviewed twice in connection with the incident, with the first interview occurring three weeks ago when he initially reported his concerns over extortion. The second interview, conducted earlier on the same day as his arrest, was carried out under caution.
