Is Cameron’s campaign against corrupt cash starting to bite?
The arrest of Nigeria’s glamorous former oil minister suggests it is, says Clementine Wallop
13 October 2015
Like many others, I was sceptical when in July, Prime Minister David Cameron said in a speech in Singapore he was planning to crack down on corrupt foreigners who own luxury properties in London and use the capital as a place to launder dirty cash.
It’s easy to say that ‘the UK must not become a safe haven for corrupt money from around the world,’ but rather harder to act on, especially given the intricate networks of shell companies through which many of these properties are owned, and given the number of properties bought legitimately with money that has a less troubling provenance.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
