I have been watching that case. UK needs to be careful though. If they ask everyone that bought property over £5m in London to prove how they acquired their wealth they will have find 99% of it was bought with dirty money. Dirty money is the only reason London has a high end property market...lets not pretend otherwise 🙁

We shall note that this woman is from Azerbaijan. Not a big player on the world scene, and I guess there aren't many rich Azeris in London. I wonder if they would dare to go after the Russians.

The UK are specifically targeting Russians 😱.

"About a fifth of suspicious property purchases from 2008 to 2015, £729 million worth, were made by Russians, according to anticorruption watchdog Transparency International."

Hmm, come to think of it, I remember reading an article about Abramovich's troubles, but I thought he was an isolated case. Anyway; it looks bad for the UK. If they leave the EU, they will have a lot to lose if the Russians leave.

I guess rule N°1 will be once again to keep a low profile.
