Reform UK's former Wales leader sentenced to 10 and a half years over pro-Russia bribes
Ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales Nathan Gill sentenced to 10-and-a-half years for taking bribes as part of a pro-Russia influence campaign - watch the hearing live from the Old Bailey
Judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb described it as "sophisticated offending" and says the harm it inflicted is "profound"
Gill, 52, was paid thousands of pounds to give TV interviews in favour of a key Putin ally and to make speeches in the European Parliament, where he was an MEP from 2014 to 2020
His phone was seized by police and had a "long sequence" of WhatsApp messages with pro-Russian Ukrainian politician Oleg Voloshyn, the court hears
The father-of-seven has admitted eight counts of bribery between 2018 and 2019, with prosecutors outlining how he read from Voloshyn's "script" in the European Parliament
