Richard Smith

Richard Smith is a graduate of the University of Oxford, with a first-class degree in Philosophy and Modern Languages. Inexplicably, he is now a data journalist and investigator.

He provides occasional crime-related research assistance, credited or uncredited, depending on the fearsomeness of the apparent perpetrators, to broadcasting companies, other media outlets and NGOs, such as Al-Jazeera, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the British Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and Private Eye.

His most recent investigation, a continuing three-year article series in partnership with David Leask of the Herald of Scotland, documents the industrial-scale abuse of anonymous Limited Liability Partnerships, and, most particularly, Scottish Limited Partnerships, by a diversity of international organised crime groups, large and small, ranging from the “Russian mafia”, through the entourages of despots in the FSU, to Israeli binary options fraudsters and a former President of Peru, now a fugitive.

His haplessly obsessive reporting efforts were recently lauded in Hansard by a generous MP. In the aftermath of the Salisbury poisoning, the UK government signalled that it is minded to abolish Scottish Limited Partnerships outright, a surprisingly draconian stance that may not be all that likely to survive its first encounter with lobbyists.
