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.
