Brussels officials are threatening to hit Britain with millions of pounds in fines in retaliation for pulling out of pan-European justice and crime policies.
The European Commission has warned of ‘direct financial consequences’ if the UK withdraws from controversial measures such as the European Arrest Warrant.
The warning was met with dismay last night by Tory backbenchers who accused Brussels of trying to ‘blackmail’ the UK.
Details of the threat emerged yesterday after Theresa May confirmed in the House of Commons that the Government is set to take back around 130 powers over British crime and justice which have been handed to Europe, including the controversial European Arrest Warrant:
