HOUSE MAGAZINE / Economic crime is often seen as victimless, even if it does cost the United Kingdom an estimated £350bn every year. But it cannot be siloed off from the countless more sinister crimes it invariably enables.

THE TIMES / Britain is in the grip of a dirty money crisis. Every year our economy loses an estimated £350 billion through fraud and money laundering, roughly twice our annual health budget.

THE TIMES / Britain’s reputation as a trusted jurisdiction has been dented by our dirty money crisis. The government knows this and has pledged to tackle the malignant problem of illicit wealth. So it is baffling that it is failing to seize the opportunity presented by its own economic crime bill.

LABOURLIST / The dirty money crisis is at a tipping point. Unless parliament passes tough new legislation, we risk permanent damage to our capital’s reputation as a fair, trustworthy and dynamic place to invest and do business.

THE TELEGRAPH / Britain’s sanctions regime is broken, meaning Putin’s pals in the Kremlin are quite literally getting away with murder. All the while the brave people of Ukraine are laying down their lives defending not just their own country, but also our shared values of freedom and democracy.

POLITICS HOME / The government’s new Economic Crime Plan, their blueprint for cracking down on dirty money, has finally been published and it deserves some credit.

CONHOME / Fraud is a serious and growing problem. It is now the most common crime in the UK, accounting for 41 per cent of all offenses committed. It has been described variously as an epidemic and a national security risk. But despite this, only around 1 per cent of all police resources in the UK are focused on it.

The Times / In the year following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we have finally started to combat our reputation as a money-laundering hub for oligarchs, criminals and international kleptocrats.

LABOURLIST / First as a local councillor, and now as the Labour parliamentary candidate for Cities of London and Westminster, I have seen the devastating impact of dirty money flowing into London.

ConHome / The new Economic Crime Bill is currently making its way through the House of Lords. It builds on well-meaning but incomplete legislation from last year. It includes new powers for Companies House, our corporate register, to crack down on dubious fake companies. However, there is broad agreement from industry, civil society, and parliamentarians of all stripes that, unamended, the Bill is a wasted opportunity to really take the bull by the horns.

The Times / This week the House of Lords has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take on those oligarchs and kleptocrats who are using “weapons grade” legal action — lawfare — to silence their critics.
