Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of reports that a network of Russian nationals allegedly sent money to Colombian nationals to fund civil unrest and influence the upcoming Colombian presidential election on 29 May 2022.

We are monitoring reports. The threat of illicit financial flows linked to Russia and dirty money is a trans-national one and it is important to combat this threat from source to destination. We remain clear that credible and inclusive elections are essential components of a functioning democracy.
