😁 IS THIS Why Trump's heading to the UK? "UK to Expose Tax Havens/RU Money Laundering"

[Wwcd]

Uh Oh!!
Now, Theresa May is known to be rather protective of London's big money movers, HOWEVER, I believe it is the MP's who are handling this Busting of Tax Havens, to expose Russian money laundering.

Is this why Trump is paying a visit to the UK, apparently willing to forego the pomp, the carriage rides & visits with the Queen?

He suddenly has Another more pressing agenda?

This will be interesting! Hope UK Intel records every conversation he has & every person he meets while he's there.

Tax havens prepare to expose corrupt tycoons and oligarchs

Corrupt Russian oligarchs sheltering dirty money in Britain’s overseas territories will be exposed under laws set to be forced on Theresa May next week.

Tax havens such as the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands have so far resisted moves to follow the UK’s lead and reveal to public view the identities of those benefiting from assets held under their jurisdictions.

Campaigners say that the secrecy enables money laundering, which in turn facilitates criminality, corruption and oppression, including in Russia.

The prime minister has promised tougher measures against President Putin’s cronies after the poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury last month.

Next week a coalition of Tory rebels, Labour, the SNP and other opposition parties will challenge Mrs May to match her rhetoric with action when new sanctions legislation is debated in the Commons.

Urging the government to back down, Mr Mitchell said: “Mrs May has so far led the world in taking a stand against Russia’s challenge to international norms.
But if she is to deliver on her promises she must ensure that filthy money fuelling the worst abuses isn’t sheltering under a British flag anywhere in the world.”

Ministers had hoped to stave off trouble by agreeing to demands for a “Magnitsky amendment” that would mean the UK following countries such as the US and Canada in targeting those accused of human rights abuses with visa bans.

As part of the cross-party deal to bring in the reforms, ministers have accepted a role for MPs to scrutinise how sanctions are being applied.

MPs are expected to vote on the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill on Tuesday.


MP's & a Party coalition are going around May & straight into the belly of the Tax Haven beast!

THIS IS THE CRITICAL VALUE OF THE MAGNITSKY ACT


Btw, Its not just RU $$$$ laundry that's about to be exposed.
