If you read the article, it says that the official investigation started in 2023. If memory serves, that's when we started hearing about allegations of sexual assault against Brand. It was also around the time or maybe a little after he started going full right-wing, antivax, born-again-christian rebranding.
The article also states that he is currently in the US and would have to be extradited if he doesn't return to the UK willingly. Prior to reading this article, I thought maybe it was possible he lost a few marbles and went a little crazy during the pandemic. After reading it however, I am 100% sure that his heel turn is nothing more than a grift aimed at avoiding extradition to the UK. He cozied up to the right, played the useful idiot, and spread their propaganda because he knew the right would protect him when these investigations produced criminal charges
