Maybe politics has made me too cynical these days but the way the statement today seems to have worded is a little opaque here;

It's not a redundant question to ask here exactly how many fines Boris Johnson got as those statements seem to be more forward looking than back. My initial thought was the statement seems to say the investigation is now closed and no more fines would be issued which is what you would expect if the investigation was now finished.
If the first statement said 'Johnson's spokesman said police had confirmed that the prime minister
did not receive any further fines', that is a different thing altogether
Maybe I am too jaded in my old age...
