"Lex Greensill has accused Kemi Badenoch of interfering in an insolvency case for political ends as the last Conservative government sought to protect David Cameron from scrutiny for his involvement in a lobbying scandal. The financier, whose companies paid Cameron millions of pounds, claimed that the current Tory leader used her former ministerial position as business secretary to restructure an inquiry into his activities."
"Greensill alleged that the move was made to protect Cameron as he was elevated to the House of Lords in November 2023 and brought back into government as the foreign secretary. The allegations were made in a letter sent to the current business secretary, Peter Kyle, as Greensill contests the possibility of being disqualified from company directorships for up to 15 years."
Lex Greensill alleges that Kemi Badenoch used her former role as business secretary to restructure an insolvency inquiry to exclude scrutiny of David Cameron. Greensill claims the restructuring aimed to protect Cameron ahead of his elevation to the House of Lords and return to government as foreign secretary in November 2023. Greensill sent a letter on 28 October to business secretary Peter Kyle seeking re-evaluation of the insolvency case in light of alleged government interference. Greensill contests possible disqualification from company directorships for up to 15 years and argues the case against him lacks merit and evidence.
