CCTV 'switched off' for Rita Ora's birthday party, police say. (PA)
A Notting Hill restaurant boss has claimed Rita Ora’s team offered £5000 to break Covid rules and host a 30th birthday bash, police have revealed.
CCTV at Casa Cruz were switched off on the day of the party, November 28 last year, at the request of event security.
Police are trying to get the venue’s licence revoked ahead of a hearing on Thursday. Details of the event emerged in a licence review report, the PA reports.
The venue boss Scottie Bhattarai told police he was offered money to host “drinks and nibbles” but no payment was made at the time and apologised for being “greedy”.
