While foreign correspondent Laura Haim is on assignment in Paris
reporting on the effects of the war in Europe, she's also
been following the story of a small coastal village in the
South of France that's drawn Russians for years - and not just
wealthy Russians, but some of the world's most notorious Russian
oligarchs. However, with the war in Ukraine, the town is in a state
of flux. With sanctions in place, many Russians' have had their
assets frozen - making it hard to maintain their estates. For these
oligarchs, where they are headed now has been the subject of
growing speculation and reporting. Laura sits down
with Louise Shelley, director of the transnational crime and
corruption center at George Mason University, who is an expert
witness on how Russian money is laundered through real estate, and
Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of Britain's Mi6, to discuss
where Russian oligarchs are fleeing to and why, what countries are
letting them in, and the potential of corruption in Ukraine during
rebuilding.
