Tony Blair's Top Fundraiser Arrested

Is this the Brittish version of Abramoff?

God, will the corruption ever end?

Tony Blair's Top Fundraiser Arrested:

Tony Blair's top fundraiser, Lord Levy, was arrested Wednesday in an investigation into whether Labour Party leaders improperly nominated their financial backers for seats in the House of Lords, Levy's spokesman said.

The arrest could mean major political trouble for Blair, who counts Levy as a key political ally. The prime minister's approval ratings took a big hit when the so-called 'cash-for-honors' scandal first broke in March and Levy's arrest brings it dangerously close to home.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair's chief fundraiser Lord Levy arrives at his home in north London after his arrest by police investigating allegations of the sale of honours, Wednesday July 12, 2006. The peer, who is a close ally and tennis partner of Tony Blair and has been nicknamed Lord Cashpoint by the British media for his ability to raise millions for Labour from wealthy backers, was arrested earlier Wednesday and held in custody after being required to attend a police station in London.
