‘Romp’ scandal envelops UK’s NATO envoy – media

Angus Lapsley, 55, has reportedly sparked up a romance with a young Italian intern

Britain’s ambassador to NATO, Angus Lapsley, has sparked a major scandal by housing an Italian intern about half his age at his official residence in Brussels, The Times reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed source.

NATO has no specific rules banning personal relationships between senior officials and subordinates, although such ties could be grounds for dismissal in the British armed forces.
