The former leader of Reform UK in Wales has been jailed for more than ten years after taking cash for making pro-Russian statements.<\/p>\n

Nathan Gill was sentenced at the Old Bailey today for 10-and-a-half years for his remarks in the European Parliament.<\/p>\n

He pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery on dates between December 6, 2018, and July 18, 2019.<\/p>\n

The charges related to pro-Russian statements the ex-Ukip MEP made about Ukraine in the European Parliament and in the media for his paymaster Oleg Voloshyn, then a Ukrainian MP.<\/p>\n

Commander Dominic Murphy, the head of the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command, said: \u2018This is where we get into that slightly odd situation where it feels very much like a real effort to undermine democracy here.\u2019<\/p>\n

In her sentencing remarks at the Old Bailey, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said the harm\u00a0he had inflicted was \u2018profound\u2019.<\/p>\n
