>> £90bn in a financial system that moves trillions daily.
£90bn is based on NCA official figures that are always more "conservative" for obvious reasons. I think that amount is quite big anyway.
>> The UK isn't the money laundering capital of the world...you have just quoted yourself...
Nah...I quoted from the website linked. You can also google it. It's on all major websites including the financial ones(i.e ft.com).
>> Russians are evil but it is not easy to connect directly with crimes
Right...laundering money is a apparently a crime in itself to begin with but I guess that doesn't matter much to you.
Here is another quote for your enjoyment: "London is ‘the jurisdiction of choice’ for Russian crime gangs". Anyway let's not make this a "russian" thing. London is the money laundering capital of the world after all. It's not open for russians only.
>> it is an extremely bad idea to launder money through the UK's financial system (unless you live somewhere that doesn't comply with CRS...in which case it doesn't matter)...
Apparently that's just old good BS. The wise guys launder happily and are not bothered as long as they give back.
>> And what is the accusation here...
It shouldn't be that hard to figure it out, Walter! Hints: “the money laundering capital of the world”; "‘the jurisdiction of choice’ for Russian crime gangs"
