Pakistani immigrants a larger threat to the UK than Russia

Today in 2020, the United Kingdom is facing an existential threat to its reputation and identity. Nation’s policy and public relations with other parts of the world are now under the lens of Pakistan’s agenda. The ‘National risk assessment of money laundering and terror financing 2020’ compiled by the UK has exposed an alarming reality. Pakistan has been named as the major source of dirty money in the United Kingdom by the report. Blaming Pakistan for using the UK as a launchpad for its demon plans.

UK’s latest report blames Pakistan for dirty money:

The UK’s report has slammed Pakistani immigrants for using luxury properties and precious jewelry as a disguise for funneling “dirty money” into the country. This money is used to corrupt policymakers, leaders in the country to influence the national policies. These are taking place at an alarming level without any hindrance.

The latest and alarming report titled “National Risk Assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing 2020”, released by the UK’s Treasury and Home Office, has mentioned countries including China, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Russia, and United Arab Emirates (UAE) as the top hotspots from where the most flow of money is processed and routed. Most of the countries listed are UK’s enemies while the others call themselves an ally of UK, like Pakistan does.

The United Kingdom has always been helpful to Pakistan like feeding a snake. Now the snake has come to bite the hand which is feeding them for years. A typical Pakistani thing to do.

Billions of Illegal money  from Pakistan

The UK continues to have close economic links to Pakistan, including significant remittance, flows between both jurisdictions, which according to estimated equated to approximately $1.7 billion in 2017,” the report said.

Economic and cultural ties also enable and disguise illicit funds to be transferred between the UK and Pakistan, including through illegal informal value transfers,” it added.

The report maintained that high profile people from Pakistan are buying high-value assets in the UK and elements from the UK are buying high-value assets in Pakistan, using their “dirty money”.

“Criminals continue to purchase high-value assets, such as real estate, precious gems, and jewelry to launder illicit funds which are transferred from Pakistan to the UK and vice-versa.

“This includes proceeds from corruption and drug-trafficking,” the report added.
