'Transparency International' is not a 'family company'. It's an independent NGO on which Jo Swindon's husband is a Director of Policy - he works for them. However he is not an owner (
not even a senior Director) and the money didn't go to the family but to the organisation. In other words the EU gave money to a Non-Government Organisation
The amount was clearly fully declared:

They also received funding from the UN, The U.K Government and the U.S Government.
Also Jo Swinson was not on any committee that donated this money. She was not a senior member of the EU. She wasn't even an MEP. She has no connection to the money given to the EU to a NGO that her husband works for.
It's a completely and utter lie that his money was donated to their 'family company'.
Boris Johnson was Mayor of London when money DID go to a personal company of a woman he is accused of having an affair from City Hall. She was paid to go on trips abroad with him as part of this business.
