Slavery – never abolished

Slavery in Britain “is all around us. It is walking our streets, supplying shops and supermarkets, working in fields, factories or nail bars, trapped in brothels or cowering behind the curtains in an ordinary street.” Theresa May, The Guardian, 24 November 2013. UK legislation means that AML professionals must now be seized even more strongly of the risk, both in their own and customers’ businesses, says Kevin Braine of Kroll.
