A billionaire whose company was awarded a major export finance deal by the UK government after donating hundreds of thousands of pounds to the Conservatives attended private, off-the-record events with senior Tory figures, openDemocracy has learned.
As revealed by openDemocracy last month, UK Export Finance earlier this year gave a £1.5 million loan to Unatrac, owned by Egyptian businessman Mohamed Mansour. The deal was announced less than a week after the firm made a £125,000 donation to the Conservative Party.
Unatrac has given the party more than half a million pounds over the past five years.
