Political donations escape money laundering checks required to open bank account or give to charity, MPs told

Political donations escape ‘money laundering’ checks required to open bank account or give to charity, MPs told Rob Merrick © Provided by The Independent Opening a bank account or giving to charity requires tougher checks than donating to a political party, an investigation into “dark money” has heard. Charities must prove the cash they receive has not been laundered – yet parties receiving billions of pounds escape any such protections, a Commons committee was told. “That seems to me to be a fairly big anomaly in the ability to donate money into the political system,” he told the public administration committee. “There’s absolutely no reason why political parties shouldn’t be able to adopt those customer requirements, because we’ve all had to deal with these when we’ve opened a bank account, when we we’ve done something online.”

People who are interested in politics like to think voters are pouring over every detail of what’s going on in their campaign. The reality is very far from that.
