TI criticises UK role in laundering

Transparency International has highlighted and criticised the role London plays in international money laundering. It comments on a new investigation focusing on structures used to help sell frozen assets of the former Ukrainian President. TI notes the key role that UK based professionals helped structure the web of companies that allowed the sale to take place. It calls for HMRC immediately to look into the companies and service providers named in the investigation and take serious action against them.
