Since Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year, there has been a renewed interest in the wealth and influence of Russian oligarchs in the U.K. Moscow’s elites have bought mansions in London’s ultra-exclusive neighborhoods and send their children to British private schools. But Russians are not the only ones taking advantage of Britain’s willingness to turn a blind eye to overseas corruption. Investigative journalist Oliver Bullough is the author of “Butler to the World: How Britain Became the Servant of Tycoons, Tax Dodgers, Kleptocrats and Criminals.” In this podcast, he talks to New Lines Magazine's Faisal Al Yafai about how London has grown into the world’s kleptocracy capital — by providing the world’s wealthiest not only a place to hide their stolen money but also to spend it with no questions asked. Produced by Joshua Martin & Christine El Kholy
