When The National examined the Muslim Brotherhood’s web of London-based companies under the control of sanctioned individuals, it sought Angelika Hellweger’s assessment of the situation.
Angelika said that setting up as a business can reduce the scrutiny of financial transactions.
She explained: “If you open a bank account in a company’s name it is easier than to open it in the name of an individual.
“Every company has to pass anti-money laundering checks in the UK, that’s completely clear, but a company won’t immediately arouse suspicion.
“Business activity is much less under scrutiny than if say an individual emigrates to the UK and thousands of pounds are flowing in and out of a bank account.”
