Boris Johnson was paid £240,000 after Maduro meeting, invoice shows

Johnson's office sent invoice to hedge fund manager, which was paid, weeks after meeting Venezuelan leader last year

From a private jet somewhere over the Caribbean Sea in February last year, Boris Johnson called his old political adversary David Cameron, then the foreign secretary, to notify him of a visit.

Johnson had taken a day out from a family holiday in the Dominican Republic for an unlikely meeting with the leftwing president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, a man whom Johnson, when in office, had likened to a dictator of an evil regime".
