A series of reports have revealed that former Unite union boss Len McCluskey accepted private jet flights and football tickets from a building contractor that was awarded a lucrative contract to build a hotel and conference centre for the union.
Investigations found that the contractor allegedly overcharged Unite by £30 million, contributing to a reported £70 million financial shortfall in the project. The inquiries also uncovered that McCluskey ignored legal warnings about the contract's terms. These revelations are part of broader corruption allegations and ongoing probes into historical wrongdoing within the union.
Unite's current leadership has pledged to address and clean up past corruption.
