The man who made millions in Moscow by busting sanctions

Available for over a year

When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the UK government brought in sanctions banning the sale of luxury goods to Russia. Breaking those rules is a serious crime, with a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. But the BBC has learned that the British businessman, David Crisp, who was secretly filmed confessing that he was violating the sanctions is not facing criminal charges. For this episode of 5 Minutes On, BBC correspondent Will Vernon, discovers how Mr Crisp's business partner became suspicious. (Image: Undercover filming)
