DESCRIPTION:

The City of London has long stood accused of laundering billions of dollars in illicit money. The government estimates 135 billion dollars of corrupt money flowed into the UK in 2016 alone.

But it’s not just Russian money that is corrupting politics. Members of Parliaments have second jobs and act as consultants. Providing they declare their activities they are considered to have broken no rules.
