A former Foreign Office minister is being probed over his links to an Arab police chief accused of torturing a UK national following an investigation by the Mail.
Tory grandee Alistair Burt was named in a leaked document as someone who could help United Arab Emirates’ Major General Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi become the head of Interpol.
Project Associates (PA), a British lobby company hired to promote Al-Raisi, identified Mr Burt as a ‘key figure’ it could ‘reach out to’.
