"Britain is leading a group of European Union states who are trying to..." This seems in bad taste, atm considering the ongoing divorce proceedings. More seriously, I wonder what this is really about. Money laundering has become an enormously hairy term. It could mean just about anything. I suspect this about housing the piles of money officials, oligarchs, warlords and aristocrats from these countries accumulate. No one wants to keep their $6bn in Yemen. It's not safe there. Saudi has a huge, wealthy aristocracy. It's no secret that a lot of them are heavily invested in the UK, notably London real estate. Considering the "game of thrones" event where prince MLB locked up half his own family and extorted... princely sums from them... I imagine the desire to get your loot away from the middle east has just gotten keener.
