The government could seize oligarchs’ mansions in London and use them to house Ukrainian refugees, the deputy prime minister has said.
Dominic Raab said he supported the idea of seizing Russian property and repurposing it to house those fleeing conflict.
He also said the government would introduce legislation to stop “lawfare”, where kleptocrats use the courts to try to stop journalists reporting on how they obtained their wealth. Raab said that the government would bring forward proposals “very shortly” to stop oligarchs hiring expensive law firms to protect their fortunes.
“We have seen oligarchs and kleptocrats and those with links to Putin coming into this country and suing under our libel laws those who are shining a light, whether it is authors or NGOs, on corruption and abuse,” he told BBC Breakfast.
“That is an abuse of our system and I’m going to be putting forward proposals to deal with that and to prevent that. It cannot be right that kleptocrats and those with links to Putin can silence those shining a light on those excesses and use our courts to do so.”
