Troubleshooters sent into wildlife charity linked to Carrie Johnson
Problem relievers were sent to investigate a charity associated with Boris Johnson’s wife, claiming that their funds were misused by multimillioner socialists.
The Assistance Commission appointed a team of high -power law experts to act as temporary managers and to take over the key decision -making process at the Aspalall Foundation, which was operated by the former casino owner Damian Aspinall.
According to the guard’s rules of behavior, temporary managers are applied to a charity when they believe that they are “bad management and/or abuse”. Abuse defines any “guilty, illegal or inappropriate” action.
The Aspinall Foundation is a global protection group that leaves the zoo animals back to the wild nature and works with her sister The Howletts Wild Animal Trust, who runs two wildlife parks in Kent.
Both charities are under the spotlight of the aid commission for five years with a legal investigation initiated in 2021. The decision to send to the Aspalall Foundation on “fresh concern problems ına to the problem -relieving Foundation indicates a great tightening of the screw.
In January 2021, Carrie Johnson was included in the role of a senior communication on an estimated “five -digit salary ği, a prime minister of his partner Mr. Johnson, whom he married in May of that year.
Mr. Johnson is one of the highest profile Amigo girls of the charity. None of Johnsons has no proposal for any mistakes.
The allegations against the Aspalall Foundation, allowing the chair to rent the headquarters of Mr. Aspinall, the Neo-Palladian, established on a 90-acre property, equivalent to the cost of a house rental in Canterbury near a £ 2,500 in a 30-bed room. After a re -valuation, the rent was upgraded to £ 10,000 per month.
Other claims include paying £ 150,000 to Mr Aspinall’s wife Victoria, and a loan to Mr. Aspinall. In 2019, the foundation was reportedly owed £ 113,000.
The claims against Howletts Wild Animal Trust include Bay Aspinall’s step -mother Lady Sarah Aspinall’s £ 30,000 pension per year for “garden services”.
In a statement IndependentThe Aid Commission said: “Our investigation into the Aspinall Foundation continues. Towards the end of last year, new problems of concern that required us to start another stage of the investigation have been identified and our researchers are working hard to follow them quickly.
“The commission has now appointed the temporary administrators to the Aspalall Foundation, which will work with the existing trustees in certain areas in line with the management certificate of the aid organization.”
The temporary administrators of the Assistance Commission impose on a charity institution if they are satisfied with the abuse and/or bad administration, and are considered as “necessary to protect the property of the charity”.
The abuse “includes any action that the person he knows or needs to know is guilty, illegal or inappropriate”.
The wrong management is defined as ki people who are at risk of any action – or aid organization that may cause abuse of benevolent resources ”.
The aid commission has been assigned to make decisions that cannot be made by the Board of Trustees due to the “conflict of interest” and to review the make -up of the Board of Trustees ”.
Most importantly, any of the delegations of trustees – or family members – were ordered to find out whether they have received a direct or indirect benefit from the charity ”.
Mr. Aspinall’s daughter Tansy is both the Aspalall Foundation and the Board of Trustees of Howletts Wild Animal Trust.
Multimillionaer and conservative peer Zac Goldsmith, a former Minister and Mr. Aspalall and both Johnsons’ close friends, until August 2019 was the Board of Trustees.
Lord Goldsmith’s brother Ben, Mr. Johnson, a Tora donor, a consultant in his government, was a Board of Trustees, an aspinall Foundation. Both left the aid commission before they started any investigation.
Aspalall Foundation spokesman said: uz We welcome the investigation by the Help Commission and we will continue to work with them in a transparent way, but until this conclusion, we will not be able to comment more for the press. ”
Howletts Wild Animal Trust’s spokesman: “We can’t comment more while the investigation of the Help Commission continues.” He said.
He could not contact Carrie Johnson. The Aspinall Foundation refused to tell if it was still an employee.
