British firms 'vehicle of choice' for corruption and tax avoiders, study finds
AN ANTI-CORRUPTION scheme established by David Cameron six years ago is failing to stop hundreds of billions of pounds in money laundering, a new study has warned.

Companies House is exempt from European Union anti-money laundering regulations. Individuals from anywhere in the world can register new firms in Britain by only stating addresses and naming owners.
