In 2002 he was embroiled in a political scandal dubbed Mittalgate with British Prime Minister Tony Blair when it was felt that a donation Mittal had made to the Labour party had led to Blair's intervention (a letter to the Romanian prime minister) in a business deal favouring Mittal. On July 13, 2005 it was announced that he had donated £2 million to the Labour Party.
