Farage was among the guests at the luxury hotel Raffles on Whitehall, along with many senior members of Reform UK, but for once the party's leader was content to let the spotlight fall on Cottrell and his co-author Lawrence Burke Files."
"The criminals already know how to launder money; this is, in part, their inside story.

It cites the experience of Burke Files who's working in finance for more than 40 year"
