London's Metropolitan Police are not investigating the Great Israeli Real Estate Event which took place on Sunday, Middle East Eye has learnt.

The revelation comes after British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper announced that ministers have asked the Advertising Standards Authority to investigate the event, which was held at the Edgware United Synagogue in London.

The spokesperson added: “At this time, there is no UK-based investigation into any matters relating to this particular conflict."

The spokesperson said the team would not comment "on the specific nature of each and every referral".

They further said: "Each and every referral made to the War Crimes Team is reviewed in line with War Crimes/Crimes Against Humanity Referral Guidelines, jointly agreed by police and the Crown Prosecution Service."

If you violate international law in a Synagogue you don't get investigated by the police but by the Advertising Standards Authority.
