ROBERTO SAVIANO CALLS BRITAIN THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY

Italian journalist Roberto Saviano called Great Britain “the most corrupt country in the world” and London – “the largest factory on the laundering of money of the clans who are in charge of drug trafficking” in his speech as an invited expert in the British Parliament. “The most corrupt country in the world is not Mexico, countries of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East or Italy, it is Great Britain,” said Italian writer and journalist, who has received world fame for the novel-report “Gomorrah” that has been translated into 42 languages and tells a story about the Italian mafia, La Republicca newspaper reported. Saviano said that according to experts, in the UK, 57 billion pounds (74 billion Euros) are laundered and City and Wall Street are the largest factories on the laundering of the money of the clans who are in charge of drug trafficking. “If you ask which country might be called the most corrupt one in the world, first of all, Mexico, countries of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Italy will come to mind. However, actually, the most corrupt country is Great Britain, but here, corruption concerns not officials, police, mayors, but it is consonant with the economic system itself. Here, the economic system is fed by corruption. Wherein, the government and citizens have not realized that the situation in the country is extraordinary,” noted the journalist. According to him, in 2015, the National Agency on the Fight against Crime published in its report very important data in which it was noted that every year, hundreds of billions of dollars from the criminal world are laundered in banks of the United Kingdom and their subsidiaries. Soon after this, British Prime Minister, David Cameron announced that “the United Kingdom should never turn into tax paradise for filthy money from all over the world.” “However, everything turned out to be different,” said Saviano. In a very interesting document published in March 2015 by Transparency UK, it was said that London real estate market is used as a means to hide secret revenues and dirty money. It was about the money obtained by means of corruption, but neither the word “mafia” nor criminal activities were mentioned. The reason is very simple. There are no corpses in the streets, no shootings. There is mafia in London, but it operates quietly and in a shadow. And the most important thing is that it does not smell like blood, it smells like money.” The Italian expert considers that London City along with Wall Street is the largest factory on the laundering of the money from drug trafficking. “London is an international financial system launching transactions from all over the world with the cost of billions of pounds and offering the most sophisticated financial services. However, that is not it, because furthermore, the British capital is in the center of the global offshore system. The United Kingdom cannot pretend like nothing is happening. Now, it has the facts, the results of investigations and the warnings of experts and authorities. The time to solve the problem of criminal capital has come,” said Saviano.
