Inhaltsangabe:

A powerful and sophisticated analysis of a major problem in world politics: how and why kleptocrats in Russia and Eurasia are able to park their money in the United Kingdom and operate with relative impunity, which in turn has undermined democracy in the UK and abroad and fueled the spread of authoritarianism.
