Financial crime agency leaks contain references to firm set up from Ranelagh house

IOS set up hundreds of UK LLPs that have subsequently cropped up in scandals around the world.

IOS opened an office in Riga and the business grew to be the largest company formations agent in the Baltics. He accepted that companies he’d established had been used for money-laundering. “I set up the companies. If you sell a car and it gets used in a robbery. I mean that was my job. I was in the company formation business.” Mr Burwell said he had nothing to do with the banking activities of the LLPs he established for IOS.

Millions of dollars subsequently travelled through the LLP’s bank account. Under US law, banks based there are obliged to report transactions they believe are suspicious. Suspicious Activity Reports are not evidence of wrongdoing. They reflect the views by watchdogs within banks, that transactions bore hallmarks of financial crime, or that involved clients with high-risk profiles or past run-ins with the law.
