Is It Illegal to Purchase a House in London?

Ben: I think tony blair's case, at least what's been revealed about him and his wife and the purchasing of a house in london, is probably a pretty good way to examine the, i guess, legal side. Ben: Some of this stuff is almost certainly a in conflict with the law. And you have to ask yourself, how much of that actually goes to the people, right? Instead of going to someone who later, through a front company or through a charity that they own, right? They're clever ways to do it.
