Russian oligarchs and firms have been investing in London for twenty years, inspired by British politicians of all stripes, however critics say the ‘London laundromat’ cleans soiled cash from Russia and throughout the globe. The FT examines why it took Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to place the problem within the highlight and whether or not new sanctions and measures to deal with the issue go far sufficient.

Wasn’t it the Clinton and Tony Blair responsible for the correction??
Problem is the left never blame the labor party or the Democrats. It is always Republican and Conservatives.
Before the war in Ukraine, what was wrong with Russian money? It was a country like any other and money is money. It's weird to play this hindsight game. Also governments SHOULD stay out of the way of business, thats not some crazy mindset.
Don't blame the law firms!
People don't realise the extent to which this 'dirty' money holds up the UK economy. The UK does not have much in terms of natural resources, exports or technology. Their biggest exports are legal and financial services, hence they don't have a choice but to accept dirty money to keep the economy afloat.
Sharif from Pakistan robbed poor people of Pakistan now living lavish life in london bough avin field apartments the most texperience properties around London but UK support this robbery even when there are proof against those stooges.
Thanks to the FT and Economist for explaining the utter corruption of the City of London and Westminster council. But bet nothing changes.
This is such cowardice. The focus on the Russians is the safest possible choice you could've made. The Ukrainian connection is just pandering for praise and feels so weak/out of place but easy to add. You could've done something brave like drag in the other culprits leading to the difficulties Britain faces.
little Britain more like little Russia the new Soviet union where we are heading for a dictatorship led English nationalists
Not only Russia, both China and the Arab States have been given the same free rein by successive Governments in the UK.
The @FT has been very comfortable, or at least turning a blind eye, around all this Russian & Ukrainian money until recently – and the Arab monies before the Russian peristroika oligarch cash grabs….
Whatever type of investment you decide to get into, I think the key message here or for me rather is to start investing no matter how smallI. When you invest, you're buying a day that you don't have to work.. I pray everyone reading this become successful
"The UK lost its moral compass." Didn't know you could use something you never had.
The best way to launder money is to lend it. This whole perspective of BANKING dirty lucre ignores the LENDING of it. There's a sucker born every minute, as this video seems to understand.
U only, mostly, Russians. And how about Americans, Britain’s, and so forth???
they now win this dirty money because of sanction,it°s good no?😅
I am sorry. Lost its moral compass? From when they engaged in human trafficking? Imperialism? Piracy? Colonialism? Invasion? Culturage heritage dissposesion.. wonder what moral compass are they talking about.. nedless to say they have also surrender to russian money, but that is above the lack of historical moral compass
Every corrupt politicians in the world has ties with the western banks, even in the US.
That explains a lot!
I love coming to these videos because it seems like foreigners are more concerned than me😂 I’m from UK & I don’t even care not like it effects my life! People are so dramatic🤣
Dirty money and UK has long relationship
Because UK looted gold and money around the world
What about the dirty money of Ukrainian oligarchs like Mrs Timoshenko, Mr Yushchak and all the political top from the “ very democratic” Kiev?
It looks that Russians are only 25% of those who use the London scheme. The others are…?? Saudis? UAE?, Chinese, Ukrainians, etc….
And what about Navalny’s assets in the UK? Has this been checked?
Kick Nawashrif's out…..
How sad .We need a people parliament and sack all the UK pupit gov
Full stop to UK GOV CHILD ABUSE AND RIPPING OF VICTIMS WHO FORT AND WON THERE CASE. 2022
UK hipocricy
See why their quite.
Done
Isn't this one of the reasons to wheen off Brussels, to pump more outside money into London? Never been about immigration, well.. maybe for bottom brits it was fed as anti-immigration movement, but actually it was always Londongrad plan
Thatcher was a nationalist; British corruption really started with Tony "F'ing" Blair…
Child Trafficking is also dirty $….this will not stop until police and policy work together…as well as international crime prevention.
hmmmm
I love the mind-numbing techno background music. It makes is so much "easier" to understand what the journalists are trying to convey.
"Dirty money" is euphenism/code for COUNTERFEIT MONEY which is the currency of choice for criminals such as drug dealers, arms dealers, white and black slave traders, etc.
I watch several YouTube videos on how to trade in the stock market but haven't made any headstart because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands
Anyone can help from their home! Create a profile on VK (Russia's equivalent of FB). Start adding people. Post legitimate links and articles from Reddit or YT. Start engaging the average Russian (there are PLENTY of Russians on VK that are willing to engage). Yes, you'll get flack from some, but A LOT are completely against the war. I've already made friends and hope that either they can visit me or I can visit them one day. The average person in the West needs to communicate with the average Russian, WAKE THEM UP! Their state media LIES to them and unfortunately a lot of them are apathetic or willfully blind and ignorant to reality. Engage the ones 'on the fence', don't waste your time with those that drink Putin's piss. Use google translate if you don't know cyrillic. The Kremlin would like nothin more than all westerners to hate all Russians because that maintains status quo…this is not the cold war anymore. Not all Russians are our enemy, but their kleptocratic leadership sure is! Russia needs a regime change.
Tiny inconsequential country harbouring all the criminals of the world.
So what moral authority does the UK have in saying that Kenya or African countries are corrupt?
Had lots of fun there
