Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader's closest aide George Cottrell who runs Mr Farage’s private office, is in custody in the US awaiting trial on 21 charges including attempted extortion, money laundering and fraud after allegedly being caught in an FBI sting accused of offering to launder money for drug traffickers after advertising his services on the dark web.
The 22-year-old, whose former glamour model mother once dated Prince Charles, used the dark web websites that offer privacy because they are difficult to be traced and need special software called Tor to access.
But the ‘drug traffickers’ he is alleged to have dealt with were really undercover FBI agents.
