Police probe alleged illegal entry into political party database linked to Your Party's formation
Metropolitan Police have opened a criminal investigation after a man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of breaching a political database tied to the founding of Your Party.
The investigation concerns unauthorized access to a political party's data system, an alleged offence under the 1990 Computer Misuse Act. The suspect, a man in his twenties, was detained but released without charge pending further inquiries. Your Party, a left-wing group created last year, is co-led by Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn. Police statements did not name the specific party, but insiders say the probe relates to disputes surrounding the party's establishment.
Why it matters
The probe highlights potential cyber-security vulnerabilities in political organisations and could affect public trust in emerging parties.
