Britain has decided to stop issuing investor visas, the so-called "golden visas". This is reported by the Financial Times.

London has a plan to revise the Tier 1 Investor visa program after the attempted poisoning of former GRU colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in 2018.

Colleagues of British Home Secretary Priti Patel said she was going to cancel visas due to the fact that they can be used for money laundering. Government officials have confirmed these plans.

An investor visa can be obtained by foreigners who are ready to invest at least two million pounds (about 204 million rubles) in the UK economy. To combat “dirty money”, applicants for this visa were required to explain the origin of capital at the request of the police.

Earlier, representatives of the British Labor Party appealed to the ruling Conservatives with an appeal to return the money donated by the Russians.
