British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been fined for breaking lockdown rules.
This was confirmed by the British government on Tuesday, according to a report by the PA news agency.
The BBC had previously reported about it.
Finance Minister Rishi Sunak is also said to have received a penalty order.
Police had been investigating several parties at the Prime Minister's office in London that had taken place during lockdown in the UK.
Johnson has always denied knowingly breaking the rules.
On at least one occasion he felt he was at a work meeting, he said.
The "Partygate" affair had put Prime Minister Johnson under heavy pressure.
He also had to defend himself against calls for his resignation from within his Conservative Party, as he is said to have tolerated regular parties at his official residence and is said to have attended some.
Since the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Johnson has been back in the saddle.
The Metropolitan Police are investigating twelve events from 2020 and 2021. At that time, strict contact restrictions applied during the pandemic.
Questionnaires had been sent to more than 100 government workers and employees, including Johnson and his wife, by the police.
The investigation is still ongoing, further fines could follow.
Efforts are being made to advance the ongoing investigation as quickly as possible, Scotland Yard said on Tuesday.
In most cases, it is said to be a fine of 50 pounds (60 euros).
