OLIVER BULLOUGH has been running Kleptocracy tours of London, pointing out some of the fancy houses owned by overseas crooks. The tours proved popular with the punters, but not with the various mansionowning oligarchs, sheikhs and dodgy dealers. In this first of a five-part series, which hears from historians, whistleblowers, former investigators and politicians, Oliver takes us back to the 1950s, when some bankers realised that offshore activities could bring a tide of gold to Old London Town, and the City could become a moneylaundering machine.
