From Russia, With Money

A Bloomberg scoop: the government suspects Russians are using shell companies set up in the UK to launder money made from the war in Ukraine. We hear from reporters Alex Wickham and Alberto Nardelli. Former Conservative minister Lord Theodore Agnew, who resigned over the government's "woeful" oversight of fraud, tells Bloomberg's Caroline Hepker and Yuan Potts that Companies House has been astonishingly lax. He hopes his amendments to the economic crime bill will make a difference. Plus, Lizzy Burden and Lionel Laurent join us from Paris to discuss the Sunak-Macron summit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
