This thread is political from the start. Blaming the UK for corruption in Italy is really pushing it.
Italy is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. That’s why it has bridges collapsing and substandard buildings all over the place. The Italian mafias build most of it.
Trying to blame the UK is a ridiculous distraction.

Errr... No one is 'blaming' the U.K. However: Due to the U.K. treasuries greed and the way the 'laws' are slanted towards making the U.K. an easy place to spend cash, with very few questions asked. It is a haven for those with a 'bit extra', to invest in property, hedge funds and the many other 'opportunities' on offer. The U.K. may not be a tax haven itself, however, there are a number of U.K. territorial islands across the planet, that are and any funds registered in such places, can be spent in the U.K. with minimal paperwork and taxes.
From the Tax Justice network in 2019.
"The Corporate Tax Haven Index, published today by the Tax Justice Network, has identified the UK and a handful of OECD countries as the jurisdictions most responsible for the breakdown of the global corporate tax system – with the UK bearing the lion’s share of responsibility through its controlled network of satellite jurisdictions. These countries have aggressively undermined the ability of governments across the world to meaningfully tax multinational corporations. An estimated $500 billion in corporate tax is dodged each year globally by multinational corporations1 – enough to pay the UN’s under-funded humanitarian aid budget 20 times over every year.
Top ten
1. British Virgin Islands (British territory)
2. Bermuda (British territory)
3. Cayman Islands (British territory)
4. Netherlands
5. Switzerland
6. Luxembourg
7. Jersey (British dependency)
8. Singapore
9. Bahamas
10. Hong Kong"

From three days ago :
"A recruitment firm that hires workers to conduct NHS Covid-19 tests – and is co-owned by a well-known football executive – has been supplying staff employed through a contrived network of companies that possesses many of the hallmarks of a notorious MUC tax scam.
HM Revenue and Customs warned in December that “most MUC arrangements are considered to be fraudulent."
(the government have "declined" the opportunity to investigate this)
