Misconduct. Sky News says "The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has been asked to assess whether the prime minister should be investigated for the criminal offence of misconduct in public office."

As reported by the BBC
Quote:
In a letter to the PM setting out the referral, the monitoring officer says: "The conduct matter relates to your time as mayor of London between 2008 and 2016.
"During this time it has been brought to my attention that you maintained a friendship with Ms Jennifer Arcuri and as a result of that friendship allowed Ms Arcuri to participate in trade missions and receive sponsorship monies in circumstances when she and her companies could not have expected otherwise to receive those benefits."
