The first meeting with Boris Johnson that Jennifer Arcuri described as an “electrifying” encounter was caught on camera, the Guardian can reveal. The documents are central to allegations that Arcuri was given favourable treatment due to her friendship with Johnson when he was mayor of London. They include emails showing that Arcuri was given a coveted place on trade missions by Johnson’s office despite failing to meet the criteria for a place. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Jennifer Arcuri said Johnson ‘changed the complete energy of the room’ when he spoke to the gathering in October 2011. During the Kuala Lumpur trip in December 2014, Arcuri met Johnson’s half brother Max, who was then based in Hong Kong for Goldman Sachs.
