The UK is a safe haven for corrupt and criminal wealth. The list of exposés detailing the investments and indulgences of a global cadre of corrupt individuals in or through our economy has become too large to ignore.

This submission outlines where the risk is, how the situation has changed since March 2019, and where the UK Government should focus efforts in the coming months and years. A timeline of money laundering scandals since the last inquiry on economic crime by this committee is included as Appendix 1.
