Parliament officials have been accused of “passivity” and inaction over Wise’s fraudulent claiming of staff allowances as part of an attempt to bury allegations of widespread wrongdoing and expenses abuse among MEPs.
Wise, 61, a former UK Independence Party MEP, was jailed for two years on Wednesday for stealing expenses worth £39,000, following allegations that first appeared in The Sunday Telegraph in 2005.
Nigel Farage, Ukip’s leader, who had been about to give evidence against Wise before he changed his plea to guilty, told The Daily Telegraph that officials had initially exonerated the disgraced, former MEP.
“The parliament looked into it and he was cleared. Obviously, the parliament suppressed it because of the fear that it was happening in hundreds of cases,” he said.
“There have been changes to the expenses system since then but they are cosmetic and I suspect there are still many cases of fraud.”
Chris Davies, a Liberal Democrat MEP for the North West of England, has accused the parliament’s authorities of not doing enough to pursue fraud cases.
“The parliament didn’t do anything itself in the Wise case. It was entirely passive. And, it continues to be passive about the dozens of MEPs who have probably done the same and will get away with it,” he said.
Olaf, the European Anti-Fraud Office, a separate Brussels institution, has confirmed that investigators were not called in by the parliament, which has legal responsibility to stop financial abuses.
“It was an article in The Sunday Telegraph that began our investigation. We were there at the beginning before we passed files to the Bedfordshire Police. Without the UK authorities this positive result would not have been reached,” said Jorg Wojahn, an Olaf spokesman. “We have 13 ongoing investigations involving MEPs.”
Last year, Robert Galvin, an internal parliament auditor, highlighted widespread abuse by MEPs of staff allowances. The report, revealed by The Daily Telegraph, remains under wraps.
Mr Davies has written to the parliament’s president asking when action will be taken to investigate the “gross malpractices involving public money likely to amount to many millions of euros”.
“If Tom Wise can be successfully prosecuted then how many other members and former members deserve to be treated similarly?” he wrote.
Marjory Van Den Broeke, spokesman for the European Parliament, said: “When the financial services believe that there is wrong-doing, they are obliged to notify Olaf. The case of Mr Wise is proof that this system works.”

Interestingly, at least this is more accurate than the self serving opportunist twaddle published elsewhere by the untrustworth, duplicitous and unpleasant Peter Reeve claiming the glory for having broken the story and informed the Police – Yeah!!!
Clearly the file The Sunday Telegraph supplied to the police must have been very slim as the reporter who broke the story had left the paper and gone to The Sunday Times during the catastrophic period of editorship by La Sands and lets face it The Atkins diet didn’t do much for the vocabulary of Dominic Lawson either!
As for the claims that he was cleared by The EU Parliament – I don’t think so!
The inquiry was in fact made by The Payments Office and they issued a letter, THEY were not taking any further action – I understand that at no time did they exhonourate Tom Wise or his practices. You will find in short order the selective publication from the letter was ordered OFF of EUkip’s web site by the payments office as it did not reflect the content of the letter or facts – much like the pack of lies Mark Croucher told about Roger Knapman, but I guess he was right when he said Farage was ‘a f***ing idiot’ to a journalist and lied to another!
The facts are that THEY did not take further action and as a result of an urelenting campaign to bring this crime to The Courts I obtained the documents which you can see if you CLICK HERE
I also published a number of articles identifying irregularities regarding police handling and inactivity in the matter and made official complaints in the matter. Meanwhile The Sunday Times maintained a noticeable interest. A former EUkip staff member and former EUkip NEC members also supplied myself and Daniel Foggo with additional information. I am most grateful to Daniel Foggo for his constant support when, for instance, Tom Wise was spending £8,000 of tax payer’s money he had stolen to some seriously iffy solicitors in an attempt to force me to suppress the truth.
Meanwhile the only real cover-ups were not The EU in this instance but Roger Knapman EUkip MEP rtd., Trevor Colman EUkip MEP, Gerard Batten EUkip MEP, Douglas Denny NEC, Mark Croucher, Nigel Farage EUkip MEP (leader), The Swinton Circle, Mike Nattrass EUkip MEP, and others – even including a personal and very public attack on me to try to silence me and suppress the truth by Roger Helmer MEP Tory. Similarly it will be noted that the liar and all round low life Peter Cole went out of his way to lie about me behind my back as did Lindsey Jenkins to try to cover up for their own involvement and their sponsor!
Thank you Daniel for your unwavering support – without your help we may well not have got justice. The story as far as the media was concerned was 100% Daniel Foggo’s and it is amusing to see others trying to claim the achievement by use of cleverly crafted weasel words!
My thanks to those who helped amongst whom Peter Reeve was invisible and as I recall not even working for EUkip at the time.
As for Tom Wise’s belated plea of guilty and willingness to accept responsibility for Lindsey Jenkins’ participation – you will note this came about after additional paperwork was entered to the Court and much time had been spent by Wise’s brief seeking to try to claim it was inadmissible – once shown the Judge was minded to admit this evidence Wise took Counsel and the following morning a plea of Guilty was accepted by The Court.
I must say that I am surprised that Tom Wise did not take the opportunity to ‘clear the slate’ by asking for any other matters to be taken into consideration – this would indicate to me that Tom Wise may find himself back before the courts on other issues in the future. Had Wise taken this route it would have been unlikely to have increased his sentence appreciably however that is unlikely to be the case if other aspects of criminality are pursued and prosecuted.
I am aware that a dossier of information was handed over by Tom Wise with details of other frauds on the public purse by other MEPs as he perceived it. There is little honour amongst thieves!
TO LEAVE THE EU
What is the exit and survival plan for these United Kingdoms to maximise on the many benefits of leaving The EU. It is the DUTY of our Politicians and Snivil Cervants to ensure the continuity, liberty and right to self determination of our peoples they have a DUTY to protect against crime and secure both our food and our border.
NONE of these DUTIES has a single British politician upheld for 40 years. They have drawn their incomes fraudulently and dishonesty.
Politicians are failing to tell the truth, but so are almost all wanabe Politicians, the MSM and Snivil Cervants.
The fact is that even if EVERY British MEP wanted change in The EU it would achieve NOTHING.
Every single British Politician, of EVERY Party, elected since before we joined the EUropean Common Market, has promised to change The EU’s CAP – In 40 Years they have achieved absolutely NOTHING!
To try to put a value on OUR Freedom is as futile as floccipaucinihilipilification and as odious as the metissage of our societies, as we rummage in the ashes of our ancestors dreams, sacrifices and achievements, the flotsam of our hopes and the jetsam of our lives, consider the Country and Anglosphere which we thus leave our children and the future, with shame!

I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. Deny the self seeking & meaningless wanabe MEPs the Mythical Mandate for which they clamour. Diktat is imposed from The EU but Law should be made at Westminster, for our Country & our Peoples.
