Dirty Money
The Paradise Papers
Some things
Panama Papers, Panama Papers, Panama Papers, Panama Papers
Money can't buy
We talk about dirty money
We talk about money laundering
Question
Are there some things
I want to talk about dirty money
Money can't buy?
How dirty money is conquering the world
Pandora Papers, Pandora Papers, Pandora
Panama Papers, Panama Papers, Panama Papers
Investigation into the tax lives of the rich and famous
Of the rich and famous
The offshore secrets of politicians
Sports stars, celebrities
Global royalty
Dirty money
Some of the world's biggest companies
Russian dirty money
They all make use of offshore paradise islands
To keep their riches secret
To keep their riches secret
To keep their riches secret
To keep their riches secret
Three thousand, four hundred and twenty nine BILLION
The Paradise Papers
There are places in the sun
Where the money seems to run
It's all over the globe
Corruption is the system gone wrong
Kleptocracy is the opposite
There are places in the sun
The sun
Kleptocracy is when corruption IS the system
Where the money seems to run
Kleptocracy is to concentrate power and wealth for the few
The majority of the globe is run
By a kleptocratic system of one sort or another
Greedy F-ing Bastards
Billions upon billions
Billions upon billions
Billions upon billions
Billions upon billions
Billions upon billions
There are some things
Money can't buy
Even money can't buy
Even
Even money
Money
Money
Can't buy
There are some things
Their filthy fortune - you stash it here
Then you hire all the lawyers, propagandists
The PR specialists and private spies and political lobbyists
And yes there'll be a couple of people from the House of Lords
And you put a legitimate face on your illegitimate power and wealth
How is that happening?
Question?
Can we stop you?
There are some things
You can take the fruits of violent kleptocracy
And you can dress it up to look like legitimate business
Legitimate multi million dollar business
Sitting right here in the British capital
That's economic warfare
Completely disconnected from their people
I mean that's as true in Venezuela or Congo as it is in Russia
That's what corruption does
So if we want to target them
And these are some of the richest people who have ever lived
If we want to target them we have to get to the heart of the matter
There are places in the sun
Nine hundred and sixty five million billion
Where the money seems to run
The Pandora Papers or the Panama Papers
Or the Panama Papers, the Pandora Papers
There are places in the sun
Where the money seems to run
Billion billion billion
Billion billion billion
Billion billion billion
You can't hide

Look at the idea of sanctioning Putin's personal assets
Offshore secrets
How can you sanction what you can't find?
How can you freeze an asset when you have got no idea where it is?
The tax affairs of the rich and powerful people around the world
The Paradise Papers
There are some things
Money can't buy
Dirty money
Even money can't buy
Even
Even money
Dirty money
Money, Money
Some things
The Pandora Papers or the Panama Papers
Vladimir Putin
Financial camouflage
They can just throw away one mask
And pick up a new one
The resources that we put into this
The front line of the war against kleptocracy
We are hugely outgunned
There are some things
Money can't buy
Buy
