Could somebody please remind me of what exactly Winston is supposed to be guilty of?

Found this reading Stuff this morning and thought it a good summary:

STUDYING THE FACTS

* THE PRIVILEGES COMMITTEE: Is investigating whether Winston Peters should have declared in the MPs' Register of Pecuniary Interests the $100,000 paid by expatriate shipping billionaire Owen Glenn toward the failed 2005 Tauranga electoral petition. In question is whether the payment meets the definition of a gift or discharged debt, which, in part, hinges on whether Mr Peters asked Mr Glenn for the money and when he knew it had been paid. Mr Peters says he did not know about it till his lawyer, Brian Henry, told him this year. They say there was no debt as Mr Henry did not bill Mr Peters for his services, instead soliciting donations from others. The 13-member committee finished hearing evidence yesterday, and is expected to deliberate further tomorrow before reporting to Parliament on Tuesday.

* THE SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE: It is investigating whether donations intended for NZ First paid through the Spencer Trust made it to the party, including $25,000 from property investor Sir Robert Jones. Trustee Grant Currie said this week it should drop the inquiry after it was given proof the money was passed on. SFO director Grant Liddell says the inquiry is proceeding "expeditiously".

* POLICE: Officers are investigating NZ First's failure to declare $80,000 donated from the Spencer Trust last year. By law, all donations above $10,000 must be declared.

* THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION: NZ First has till September 30 to submit amended donation returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007 and explain why the originals were wrong after it failed to declare more than $234,000 from the trust. As well as $80,000 last year, the trust paid bills of $87,000 in 2006 and another $17,000 in bills and a $50,000 donation in 2005. The 2005 and 2006 returns are not subject to criminal action as there is a six-month deadline for prosecution.
