Episode 92: The Russian Oligarchs who have bought up the streets of London
We take a deep dive into the world of the faceless billionaires and we look at their dirty money and what they are doing with it.
Sunday World Investigations Editor, Nicola Tallant
I’m in Knightsbridge outside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the epitome of London style and wealth, but I’m not here for oysters and champagne.
Instead, I’m on a mission to walk the streets and the neighbourhoods of Belgravia and Chelsea, where the Russian Oligarchs with links to the Kremlin have snapped up a staggering £1.5 billion in property.
Steven Millar is our guide - a lawyer by day, he has written a series of books about London’s Hidden Walks - and today he is taking Crime World listeners on the ultimate property porn tour.
In a special episode, we take a deep dive into the world of the Oligarchs and we look at their dirty money and what they are doing with it.
