Reform UK Wales' former leader was bribed to make pro-Russian statements

Nathan Gill is a British former politician and convicted criminal who was Leader of Reform UK Wales from March to May 2021 and as Leader of UKIP Wales from 2014 to 2016. He was previously Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Wales from 2014 to January 2020. Gill was a UK Independence Party (UKIP) MEP until his defection on 6 December 2018, and from 2016 to 2017 also an Independent Member of the National Assembly for Wales.

Guilty of accepting bribes

In September 2025, Gill pleaded guilty to eight charges relating to the acceptance of bribes from a former pro-Russia Ukrainian politician to make pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament and to the media. On 21 November 2025, he was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison.

Trial delayed by 3 years

On 18 October 2025, Carole Cadwalladr posted on X:

Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year?
