UK uncovers $1B money-laundering ring linking Russian war efforts to UK crime, resulting in 128 arrests and millions seized.
British authorities have uncovered a billion-dollar money-laundering network linked to Russia’s war in Ukraine, revealing that illicit funds from UK drug trafficking and other crimes are being funneled through a Kyrgyzstan bank, Keremet Bank, secretly acquired by a firm tied to Russian-speaking criminal group TGR.
The network, part of the UK-led Operation Destabilise, operated across at least 28 towns and cities, using couriers to transport cash, converting it to cryptocurrency, and routing it globally to support Russian military and espionage activities.
The NCA reported 128 arrests, over £25 million seized in the UK, and additional assets abroad, warning that even small payments for courier work can lead to prison sentences exceeding five years.
The operation highlights the deep connection between local crime and global geopolitical threats.
