Global Witness's Director of Campaigns Mike Davis said:
“Theresa May says there’s no place for serious criminals and corrupt elites – or their money – in our country.
If only that were true. The UK rolls out the red carpet for oligarchs, corrupt dictators and criminals alike.
The Prime Minister will lose all credibility unless she puts an immediate end to the dirty money flowing through our banks and into our property market.”
