The U.K.’s attempt to make the family of former Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev explain the ownership of 3 London properties has failed

In March the BBC reported that the Billionaire’s Row “high security mansion” is on “one of the most expensive roads in Britain” in north London. The house has an “underground pool, tropical showers, a glass domed roof, a dedicated cinema and separate quarters for staff.”The NCA has reacted with disappointment and promised to challenge the decision through appeal.

The court ruled that the use of complex offshore structures is not a crime in its own right and that the NCA had not presented enough evidence “beyond the complex structures used.” In May 2019 the U.K’s NCA had announced that an Unexplained Wealth Order for three London properties “linked to a politically exposed person believed to be involved in serious crime”, had been secured.

A disappointed Graeme Biggar, the NCA’s Director General of the National Economic Crime Centre, said: “The UK’s robust legal system is recognised worldwide and the ability to challenge decisions is a key part of that reputation. Unexplained Wealth Orders are new legislation and we always expected there would be significant legal challenge over their use.
