A British navy commander is being investigated for an alleged affair

The British press reported that Admiral Ben Key, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, is under investigation for an alleged affair with a subordinate. According to sources who spoke to several publications, including the Financial Times, the Sun and the Times, the case is being seriously investigated.

According to the Times, this is not a crime, but a breach of military duty. In the British army, personal relationships between commanders and subordinates are strictly prohibited.

This is the first time in the 500-year history of the Royal Navy that a high-ranking commander has been accused and investigated in such a case. Vice Admiral Martin Connell will temporarily assume the duties of Admiral Ben Key until the investigation is completed.

59-year-old Admiral Ben Key assumed the position of Commander-in-Chief of the British Navy in 2021, and has been performing this role ever since. The investigation into the incident and the resulting decision are said to be important for strengthening moral standards in the British Army. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
