This is the best summary I could come up with:
LONDON — A police officer who was part of U.K. prime minister Rishi Sunak’s security detail has been arrested over alleged bets on the timing of Britain’s general election.
The Metropolitan Police said Wednesday night that a police constable from its Royalty and Specialist Protection Command, which provides the British leader’s close protection, had been suspended and arrested amid a Gambling Commission probe into alleged bets “related to the timing of the general election.”
The Met said it had “immediately” referred the matter to its own standards bureau, and that the officer “was also removed from operational duties.” The Independent Office for Police Conduct has also been informed.
A Gambling Commission spokesperson said in its own statement that it “is investigating the possibility of offenses concerning the date of the election.”
“This is an ongoing investigation, and the commission cannot provide any further details at this time.”
It comes after Sunak’s close parliamentary aide Craig Williams was separately placed under investigation by the Gambling Commission for an alleged bet days before Sunak revealed the surprise date of Britain’s July 4 election.

Betting is haram.
That’s for you not for everyone else
While that is true i would be suprised if Craig Williams is a Muslim. Not necessarily because there is no ethnically European Muslims, but rather because the rampant racism, classism and attacks against Muslims by the British Government, in conjunction with aiding the genocide in Gaza make it a much worse sin to serve under Sunak than any gambling could be.
