The investigation of UK Culture Minister Tessa Jowell and her husband has widened beyond its initial scope, which was focused on a bribe alleged to have been paid to the couple by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The newly broadened inquiry will also now focus on a “secretive offshore investment fund” in which the Jowells had invested as much as £400,000. At issue is not only whether the couple’s financial activities were legal, but whether they adhered to the UK’s code of conduct for elected officials.
