Re: Corrupt British banks Archived Message Posted by Mary on September 21, 2020, 7:48 am, in reply to "Corrupt British banks" More tonight on Panorama about Russian oligarchs and their wives making donations to the Tories. The husband of one of the Conservative Party's biggest donors was secretly funded by a Russian oligarch with close ties to President Putin. Lubov Chernukhin has given £1.7m to the Tories, including paying to spend time with the last three prime ministers. Leaked files show her husband received $8m (£6.1m). The money initially came from a politician facing US sanctions due to his closeness to the Kremlin. Her lawyers say the donations are not tainted by Kremlin influence. A leak of banks' "suspicious activity reports" - called the FinCEN Files and seen by BBC Panorama - shows Vladimir Chernukhin was sent the money in 2016 from a British Virgin Islands company linked to Suleyman Kerimov Strange that there is a tennis connection as there was with Blair.
