Ministers accused of failing to stem flow of Russian ‘dirty money’ into UK

Anti-corruption activists criticise government inaction in face of years of Kremlin provocation

Britain's efforts to halt the flow of Russian dirty money" into the UK have been called into question in the aftermath of the threat by the foreign secretary, Liz Truss, to hit Kremlin-linked oligarchs with economic sanctions if Ukraine is attacked.

Labour and anti-corruption campaigners this week accused the government of failing to curtail Russian wealth and influence in Britain, despite years of provocative actions from the Kremlin.
