Ellul Bonici was part of a small team who worked in the administration of the secretariat office at the EFDD until at least 2015. Ellul Bonici speaks fluent Russian and was educated in the former Soviet Union in the early 1980s, according to a biographical essay he published about his experience. There is no evidence that Ellul Bonici was ever involved in Farage’s pro-Brexit campaign. The EU parliament investigated the incident after a Lithuanian MEP named Antanas Guoga issued a complaint. A spokesman for Farage in London declined to respond to questions about Ellul Bonici.
