Unreal!
"From Russia With Blood
Lavish London mansions. A hand-painted Rolls-Royce. And eight dead friends. For the British fixer Scot Young, working for Vladimir Putin's most vocal critic meant stunning perks but also constant danger. His gruesome death is one of 14 that US spy agencies have linked to Russia but the UK police shut down every last case. A bombshell cache of documents today reveals the full story of a ring of death on British soil that the government has ignored."
Much, much more...

This reads like a most uncanny spy novel.
I'll reserve any more comments because I want to read DUers' take on this. Thanks.

(194 posts)It's certainly very detailed, I need to read it twice to absorb it all. And to think this is only the first part of this tangled web.

(28,120 posts)What I absorbed is that the Russian mafia intimidates even the British police. They murder people with impunity. They handle major MONEY LAUNDERING. They do not operate without the Kremlin's consent. The Kremlin = Putin.
Trump & family is/are in a big pickle everywhere. Trump is suppose to deliver and what if he now cannot? We've never lived in stranger times.
