I'm ashamed to say that there is plenty of dirty Russian money in EU, too, thanks to golden visas. The European governments are also turning a blind eye to 🇷🇺 oligarchs and millionaires whose wealth is directly linked to the favours of Putin or organised crime. Or both - there's not much difference, anyway.

If we had balls we'd cancel 🇪🇺 golden visas of all 🇷🇺 citizens. And sieze assets to go to 🇺🇦.

'Golden visas' are known to attract dirty money around the world. Why does Australia still offer them?

Australia's 888 visa system that has granted 26,000 "golden visas' to the super rich is out of step with the rest of the world, writes Linton Besser.
