Russian oligarchs and companies have been investing in London for two decades, encouraged by British politicians of all stripes, but critics say the ‘London laundromat’ cleans dirty money from Russia and across the globe. The FT examines why it took Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to put the issue in the spotlight and whether new sanctions and measures to tackle the problem go far enough.

  1. No way. A country that is built on the blood sweat and tears of millions of slaves is a hub for dirty money? There’s just no way.

  2. Suddenly, it is highlighted that the bad guys, Russians, do a lots of dirty money laundry in London. Why suddenly points the finger at the Russians at this point in time ? But then one may asks why is it that London has allowed itself to be used for money laundry in the first place ? It also seems to say that there is no bad guy, not even a smaller one, or should we say zero money laundry from the Western countries…

  3. US, Mexican and south and Central American drug money not only Russian but you aren’t supposed to know that where does it go real estate and office and apartment towers in cities round the world

  4. Heard someone say to the best season for a financial breakthrough is now especially with inflation running at a four decade high. I have approximately $750k stagnant in my portfolio that needs growth. What is the best way to take advantage of this downturn?

    1. Very inspiring Mr Henne Nate he as achieve great success and it’s rather entertaining and educational to watch how he achieved it

  5. Why the shock all the WEST sell visas to international students all time. Under performing over priced Universities provide under resourced and expensive degrees to International Students who did apply for a permanent visa when they finish the course.
    The alternative would be smaller Universities funded by taxation.

  6. What a surprise , an imperialistic empire has no problem with dirty money. Your whole empire is based on destroying native people and using up their land and rescources,, duh !@!! Just wondering ,, what does this “dirty money ” come from ? What type of activities does the money 💰, profits cone from. Ohhh maybe????

  7. You only talk about Putin, but why don’t you take action against Pakistani, African, Chinese, Indian, Turkish and other major countries oligarchs? Majority of Mayfair properties are held by pakistani ex military people and politicians but you don’t speak a single word against them, only Russians become easy target.

  8. You only do a video and get likes then no one takes action on these until something dangerous happens. Take for example the Indonesian football cult, many people warned but only when very serious thing happened politicians feel actions required

  9. Please continue enlightening me with your high quality reporting. Any chance you can make an American version with American accents?

  10. This big banks write off Liability to the employees on the bottom. But they still allow money laundering to go on… They just hide the Liability
