@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson The same bank is a family bank - multi-million pound Tory Party donor David Rowland - he has given TWO mortgages to Dmitry Firtash (Putin's middle man money launderer in the Ukrainian gas market) close associate of many Tories

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Here's the charge - here's the property - here's the shell company Rowland used to hide the Banque Haviland mortgage from public view

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Firtash put $1m into a UK company called Zander Group run by Tory Lords Risby and Asquith - both involved in selling Firtash a former tube station in February 2014 - the day before the docs exchange the FBI issued a warrant for Firtash's arrest - the sale by Tory MOD was a crime

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Investors in Zander Group (apart from Firtash) included Jacob Rees-Mogg - he ran the LG Antenna Fund - plus Sir Anthony Bamford (JCB) - Spadi Trading is Firtash - Vantania Holdings is Tzenguiz Bros (investigated for crashing bank in Iceland by SFO)

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Lord Risby paid by Firtash - Asquith on Board of Firtash's DF Group - his brother briefly paid by Firtash via DF International in 2015 gov.uk/government/peo… members.parliament.uk/member/4343/re…

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Asquith's son is a fund manager at Somerset Capital Management - fellow Zander investor Jakey Rees Mogg

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Co-Founder of Somerset Capital Management runs the Tories Chancellor fund so can 'make cash disappear into the Cayman Islands' and reappear on command for Tory Party use

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Somerset Capital Management HAS a Cayman Islands fund (handy don't you think)

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Somerset's Cayman fund exploded in terms of sales just before Brexit and is higher than a Spacex rocket in terms of sales (even though booked profits don't match it)

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson The sale of Brompton Road tube to Firtash by the Min of Defence 27 Feb 2016 - the FBI arrest warrant 26 Feb 2014 - the Ministry of Defence sold a known national security risk a public asset even as he was about to be arrested

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Let's link in some more Russians (we have Legatum literally round the corner here too in Abu Dhabi)

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Mubadala (Rowland's partner in Anglo Gulf Trade Bank) is the UAE sovereign investment fund - they've been tied arm and leg to Kiril Dmitriev Russia Direct Investment Fund since 2013 on projects like facial recognition tech and training on nuclear tech

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Look closely at thread details cash pouring into Conservative Middle East Council - from every hungry Arab arms dealer and Prince from across the Middle East (and Rowland) - also the General Haftar connection (he's backed by Putin with Wagner mercenaries) threadreaderapp.com/thread/1271995…

@carolecadwalla @GavinFinchBBG @harrynwilson Conservative Middle East Council has money from odd sources raining on it from all over the Middle East
