Several messages have been made public, claiming that former UK Reform politician Nathan Gill accepted bribes to speak positively in a Russian campaign and influence the European Parliament.
Nathan Gill has been jailed after admitting taking money from a suspected infiltrator of Russia's main security agency.
Gill was paid thousands of pounds to give television interviews in favour of a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and to deliver speeches to the European Parliament between December 2018 and July 2019.
The 52-year-old pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery and was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison.
Prosecutors found WhatsApp conversations between Gill and a Ukrainian named Oleg Voloshyn, a former member of the Ukrainian Parliament for a pro-Russian party.
Gill was also paid to host Putin's most trusted aide in Ukrainian politics at the parliament in Strasbourg.
Counter-terrorism police, who stopped Gill before he boarded a plane to Moscow in 2021, found a message on Gill's phone saying he would be "fairly rewarded" for organising the event.
Gill was found guilty of eight counts of bribery in September.
