A series of independent investigations 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.
The reports allege that the contractor overcharged Unite by £30 million, contributing to a £70 million financial shortfall in the project. Despite warnings from legal advisors about the contract, McCluskey proceeded with the deal. The findings have sparked major corruption allegations and raised questions about the union's leadership and financial oversight.
Current Unite leadership has pledged to fully investigate and address all historical wrongdoing.
