We went on @r_borisovich's #KleptoTours this week.

Tour took us all around London showing oligarch-owned properties, with brilliant speakers highlighting how London services Russia's & world's #dirtymoney💸

@margarethodge hopped on the bus to highlight the scale of problem 👇
@r_borisovich @margarethodge On the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we look at why tackling Russian #dirtymoney is paramount.

Here is @margarethodge + cross-party group of MPs explaining why this matters
'It is unusual indeed in a major international crisis for a journalist to be the one briefing law enforcement about what the problem is.'

Here's @OliverBullough on #Kleptotours highlighting UK law enforcement's blindspot towards Russian interference
The sheer impact of Russian #dirtymoney + the supporting ecosystem that UK provides has always been a focus for us at @allthecitizens

So we are setting out to make an investigative podcast on the topic. Support our crowdfunder➡️ donorbox.org/the-real-russi…
'But they're not just bricks and mortar, are they? They represent to me a selling off of our democracy and our rule of law to kleptocrats, autocrats beyond Russia.'

God save us from Boris Johnson becoming PM again.

Your thoughts?
Under Boris Johnson, the Tories covered up the damning findings of the Russia report and dodged questions about their Russian benefactors
the-citizens.com/2022/02/conser…
Boris Johnson was also instrumental in facilitating the extraordinary rise of Evgeny Lebedev, his close friend and the son of a former Russian spy

🔴 Yesterday's @Channel4News Dispatches shows how MI5 refused to investigate Russian donations even when Sergei Cristo asked them to…

We have the whole story. Help us tell it & contribute to our new investigative podcast here: donorbox.org/the-real-russi…
@Channel4News As @C4Dispatches makes clear, the Kremlin managed to infiltrate the Tory Party at its highest levels via the creation of the Conservative Friends of Russia, a lobbying group engineered to act against the Uk national interests. No one stopped them. Why?
In 2018, Russian officers attacked former double agent Colonel Skripal and his daughter, on British territory, using a nerve agent manufactured in Russia.

They knew they could count on a weak reaction from a Tory gov compromised by its Russian links.

2 yrs ago, #RussiaReport found that Russian interference in our elections was real. How did the Kremlin become so entwined in British politics? Why did the govt turn a blind eye?

@carolecadwalla @allthecitizens are on a mission to find out. Help us.
the-citizens.com/2023/01/new-ci…
@carolecadwalla We’ve been on this beat for a while, here is a quick recap of what we’ve done 🖇️

2+ years ago:

The govt failed to publish the #RussiaReport, so we convened experts to ask the questions they would not.

Here is a snippet from one of our sessions 👇

The #RussiaReport called for a full investigation into Kremlin interference in British politics. The govt refused. Why?

With the help of a whistleblower from the Conservative Party & expert witnesses we intend to expose the truth, but we need your help
the-citizens.com/2023/01/new-ci…
This is the story of a cover-up. One that goes to the highest level of the British state.

With @carolecadwalla we will tell the full story of how the Kremlin captured the British establishment and how the authorities turned a blind eye

A Conservative party activist went to MI5 with evidence that senior politicians had been targeted by an alleged Russian spy. But nothing happened.

@carolecadwalla has the full story in the Observer
