Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
The issue seems to be that as Cambridge Analytica is a US company, it should not have allowed to donate money or services to the Leave.EU campaign.
Quote:
Leave.EU under investigation over EU referendum spending
The Electoral Commission has launched an investigation into “potential offences” by Leave.EU over its spending during last year’s EU referendum campaign.
The campaign group, which was headed by Nigel Farage and the businessman Arron Banks, is understood to have worked with the data firm Cambridge Analytica, which uses social media to influence voters.
Cambridge Analytica’s involvement was not declared to the election watchdog, which has concluded that Leave.EU has a case to answer. If the commission decides that political spending laws have been breached, it can report the campaign group to the police.

Nigel Farage suggests that Vote.EU is only being investigated now because of the general election but if I remember correctly, he's not throwing his hat in the ring anyway.
