#Cottrell, a 32-year-old aristocrat nicknamed “Posh George”, is regarded as one of #Farage’s closest aides.
Earlier this year, he published a book entitled How to Launder Money: A Guide for Law Enforcement, Prosecutors and Policymakers, co-written with Lawrence Burke Files, a self-described financial crime investigator.

Cottrell and Files provide several examples of non-cash gifts including “[p]aying some of the target’s expenses”, adding “many expenses can be paid that would pass unnoticed and untraceable”.
