It might be very interesting to ask Usmanov's lawyers whether they have done their due diligence on him. Lawyers, amongst others are subject to the stricture of anti-money laundering legislation. Let me just say that having visited Uzbekistan and knowing of the many 'multiple-exchange-rates', I would be exceptionally surprised if his money was clean.
