LONDON ? England's chief prosecutor says Energy Secretary Chris Huhne, a leading Cabinet minister, has been charged with attempting to dodge a speeding penalty ? casting his political career into doubt.
Keir Starmer, chief prosecutor for England and Wales, said Friday that Huhne, a Liberal Democrat lawmaker, would face allegations of perverting the course of justice.
Huhne is alleged to have persuaded his now ex-wife, economist Vicky Pryce, to accept a speeding penalty on his behalf in 2003, to escape a driving ban. Huhne has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Under ministerial rules, Prime Minister David Cameron can decide whether Huhne should remain a member of the Cabinet while he contests the charges ? though Huhne is expected to stand down voluntarily.
