Your source is behind a paywall, and I'm not interested in paying the Telegraph, but it seems there's a factual inaccuracy in your statement - the electoral commission did not 'come up with nothing'. They imposed a fine, referred Vote Leave to the police, and Vote Leave dropped their appeal.

That's an individual (Darren Grimes), who pursued and won an appeal.

The organisation (Vote Leave) withdrew their appeal, and paid the fine.
