Sources indicate that NatWest agreed to pay Farage damages, while Farage, in turn, withdrew his threats of civil and criminal proceedings against the bank. Farage initially sought millions of pounds, claiming the debanking row severely damaged his reputation.The controversy began when Coutts closed Farage’s accounts, initially citing commercial reasons. However, Farage obtained internal bank documents revealing that his political views significantly influenced the decision.
