The Charity Commission has found that George Galloway's Miriam Appeal - an organisation set up to campaign against UN sanctions on Iraq - may have indirectly received as much as $376,000 from Saddam Hussein's government.
The Commission said that large sums of money donated to the charity by Fawaz Zureikat - a Jordanian businessman and one of the Miriam Appeal's trustees - had come from the sale of Iraqi oil through the oil-for-food programme.
The Commission found no evidence of wrong-doing however and merely said that Galloway and the charity's trustees should have "should have been extremely vigiliant" about accepting donations.
The findings of the Charity Commission look set to put new pressure on Galloway - an MP for the anti-Iraq war Respect Party - at the very moment when the portly Scot is attempting to receive his politcal fortures by taking a new role in TV's Big Brother as a presenter.
Galloway's last foray into the world of Big Brother almost wrecked his latest career as the voice of the British Muslim community.
Many of the Muslims who had voted for Galloway were outraged at the sight of Galloway - who had campaigned on an "virtual Muslim" ticket and sprinkles his polemic with Salaam Aleykums and Allahu Akhbars - acting like a cat and cavorting in a pink leotard on national television.
Unfortunately for opponents of Galloway, the Commissions' conclusion that Iraqi money may have funded his anti-sanction campaign is only likely to strengthen his popularity.
Indeed, it seems that for many British Muslims wearing a pink leotard is more damning than supporting a dictator who was responsible for the deaths of 100,000s of their fellow Muslims.
