Report: Russian oligarchs among owners of 52,000 assets in UK
In the UK there are still around 52,000 properties in the hands of anonymous owners, including Russian “kleptocrats and oligarchs”, despite regulations requiring them to reveal their identities, the NGO “Transparency International” said on Tuesday.
The organization identified “more than £6.7bn of UK property bought with dubious funds”, mostly through obscure companies in tax havens, mostly luxury properties in London’s posh districts.
More than 20% of this sum comes from Russia, mainly from people “subject to sanctions and close to the Kremlin”, says the report, which cites, among others, former Angolan vice president Manuel Domingos Vicente and Azerbaijani couple Ilham Aliev and Mehriban Alieva. .
The British government, regularly accused of not doing enough about the dirty money flowing into the country, took a tougher stance after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, notably passing a law to force landlords to disclose own identity.
But “nearly half of companies required to disclose their owners failed to do so” before the Jan. 31 deadline, according to Transparency International. Either they “completely ignored the law or presented information that prevents the public from knowing who owns it.”
