The Spider's Web： Britain's Second Empire ｜ The Secret World of Finance

https://youtu.be/np_ylvc8Zj8?si=WaT9JMbRusH3sf1i

Michael Oswald's film The Spider's Web reveals how at the demise of the empire, the City of London's financial interests created a web of secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it in a web of offshore islands. Today, up to half of global offshore wealth is hidden in British jurisdictions and Britain and its dependencies are the largest global players in The Secret World of Finance.

"There are three sovereign states that are not part of the countries they are located in: the Vatican, Washington D.C and the “City of London.” The City of London is not part of Greater London, the UK or even Europe. The City of London, the financial district of London also known as the “City” or the “Square Mile”, has a special status: it has its own government, its own mayor and its own independent police force."

The Vatican and Washington D.C. also have their own government and police force. They are not part of the countries they are located in nor are they beholden to the laws of the countries they are located in.
