Who’s hiding behind London’s empty mansions? In 2018, a man named Gyula Remes died just metres from the buildings that govern Britain, on a street surrounded by unimaginable wealth and rows of vacant properties. His death should have been impossible. Instead, it was treated as inevitable. Death in Westminster is a four-part investigative series that begins with one life lost but soon spirals outward – from a tube station tragedy to offshore tax havens, from imperial history to modern finance.

<p>Kojo returns to the tunnel at Westminster tube station. Above ground, property prices are soaring and thousands of homes sit empty, all while homelessness worsens. Hearing from charities on the frontline and campaigners fighting a hidden system, he understands that Gyula’s death is not an anomaly, but a warning. </p><p>The final episode asks what it would take to build a city that values human life over hidden wealth - and what happens if we don’t.</p><p>Join Kojo Koram on 19th March at EartH in Hackney for a live event – Dark Money: How Billionaires Ruined Britain And How To Make Them Pay.

<p>Whenever there’s public uproar about offshore wealth – like the revelations in the Panama Papers – politicians are reluctant to take action. In episode three, Kojo discovers that the expansion of tax havens is no accident or oversight, but the result of decades of lobbying by powerful think tanks. </p><p>The City of London has become a facilitator of global wealth extraction, and offshore finance is now embedded in Britain’s political system. As Kojo finds out, the consequences are profound: rising inequality, hollowed-out cities, and a housing market increasingly detached from human need.</p><p>Join Kojo Koram on 19th March at EartH in Hackney for a live event – Dark Money: How Billionaires Ruined Britain And How To Make Them Pay.
