The chief fundraiser for Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labor Party was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of hampering a police investigation into whether the party offered seats in the House of Lords and other government honors in exchange for cash.

Michael Levy, a close friend of Blair's and special envoy to the Middle East, was arrested on "suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice." He was released on bail and has not been charged with a crime.
