TFACF EXPOSING SYSTEM FAILURES FAILURES, CHAMPIONING MEANING
London is celebrated as a global financial powerhouse, renowned for its robust economic infrastructure and pivotal role in international banking. Yet, beneath this facade of prosperity and order lies a less visible, more troubling identity: London is a notorious epicentre for money laundering. Our new section, "London Unveiled: Finance and Shadows," is committed to exploring this dual character.
Here, we will navigate the complex landscape of London's financial district, unmasking how it has become a crucial battleground for illicit financial flows. Through meticulously researched articles, investigative videos, and evocative documentaries, we aim to expose the covert operations and loopholes that facilitate money laundering on an immense scale.
Our content will confront the prevailing narratives of transparency and integrity that often surround one of the world's foremost financial capitals. Join us as we peel back layers of secrecy to reveal how these illicit activities challenge global economic stability and justice.
Asset Laundering In The UK—Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) hold public functions and, as a result, present higher risks of being involved in bribery or corruption. Offshore leaks have repeatedly revealed that PEPs use British finance and British offshore jurisdictions to launder their wealth, hide it, and re-invest it into the global financial system.

Russian oligarchs and companies have been investing in London for two decades, encouraged by British politicians of all stripes. Still, critics say the 'London laundromat' cleans dirty money from Russia and across the globe. The FT examines why it took Russia's invasion of Ukraine to put the issue in the spotlight and whether new sanctions and measures to tackle the problem go far enough.
Britain is one of the best places in the world to launder dirty money. Our new film tells you why—and asks whether that's likely to change.

Robert Mazur is a former government agent investigating drug money laundering for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service intelligence division, and the Customs Service. While deep undercover in hot spots such as Florida, Colombia, and Panama, Mazur successfully infiltrated criminal rings and cartels, including Pablo Escobar's, by posing as a wealthy, mob-connected businessman. He helped manage the illicit fortunes of the Medellín and Cali cartels while gathering evidence that would lead to some of the largest money-laundering prosecutions in history.
He spoke to Insider about how the cartels layer their assets and move money via “smurfs.” He also covered the use of legitimate businesses, such as jewellery chains and mortgage brokerage companies.
Mazur is the author of "The Infiltrator," which became a New York Times bestseller and inspired a 2016 film of the same title, starring Bryan Cranston (as Mazur) and John Leguizamo. Cranston is set to play Mazur again in the sequel currently in development based on Mazur's second memoir, "The Betrayal.” Today, Mazur speaks and consults worldwide through his company, KYC Solutions.
