UK police sent a warning to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Treasury Secretary Rishi Sunak.
High-ranking politicians are being notified of the need to pay the fine imposed on them.
Thus, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance were punished for participating in parties during the lockdown, which was in effect for some time due to the coronavirus.

Fines
The London Metropolitan Police Service announced its intention to issue fifty fines based on the results of an investigation into violations of sanitary standards during the lockdown that took place in government buildings.
The Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance received notifications that the Metropolitan Police Service intends to issue fines to them, the TV channel reports.
By the way, law enforcement officers previously issued similar fines – the top twenty indicated that 50 pounds had to be paid.
What Johnson says
Boris Johnson said that on June 19 (the day of the Covid party in which, according to the prosecution, he participated) he worked from seven o’clock in the morning.
In particular, he chaired 7 meetings, including a government meeting at which issues of combating COVID-19 were discussed.
And then, the Prime Minister noted, he visited the school. That is, I was busy all day.
However, on June 19, it was the politician’s birthday, so among other events, after two o’clock in the afternoon, those with whom Johnson works gathered in the Cabinet of Ministers for 10 minutes and “kindly conveyed” their good wishes to him.
I must say in all honesty that at the time it never occurred to me that this could be a violation of the rules. However, the police found the opposite, and I fully respect the results of the investigation,” the head of the British government commented on the situation.
