David Lammy, the foreign secretary, claimed he was bringing the “golden age of money laundering” to an end as he announced UK financial sanctions against three high-profile alleged kleptocrats and their key enablers.
On Thursday, the Foreign Office (FCDO) announced sanctions including asset freezes and travel bans on Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian billionaire, Isabel dos Santos, the daughter of Angola’s former president, and Aivars Lembergs, a Latvian oligarch.
