Russian Dirty Money: How to Shut Down the London Laundromat

The event explores how the Kremlin uses Russian money in London to exert influence over British politics.

The United Kingdom has long attracted money from criminal and Kremlin-linked sources due to the ease of money-laundering and investment of vast sums of wealth.

This event explores the links between Russian money in London and the Kremlin, how these funds can facilitate undue influence in UK politics, and what the British government should do.
