A total of £1.5bn of UK property has bought by Russians with links to the Kremlin or accused of corruption, according to figures from campaign group Transparency International.
Some £430m of the property is in Westminster, and more than half is held by companies in Britain’s overseas territories and crown dependencies.
Transparency International identified 2,189 companies registered in the UK, Britain’s overseas territories and crown dependencies that have been used in 48 Russian money-laundering and corruption cases.
