Briton George Cottrell, whom the leader of the Movement for Change Nebojsa Medojević identified as one of the financiers of the Europe Now Movement, and the Minister of Finance Aleksandar Damjanović said that the illegal crypto machine in Tivat is connected with him, was politically active in Britain, especially during Brexit.
Cottrell was one of the advisors of Nigel Farage, a former British and European Member of Parliament and one of the most vocal proponents of Great Britain's exit from the European Union, and was in charge of raising money for UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party), until he was arrested in the United States of America States.
He comes from an aristocratic London family and was raised and educated on a private island, and when he went to college, he was kicked out for illegal gambling.
He was a formal director of several businesses at a young age, both in the UK and in other countries, and since 2013 he has worked at banks such as Credit Suisse and JP Morgan.
In July 2016, he was arrested in Chicago and charged with money laundering, fraud, blackmail and extortion.
The indictment alleges that in 2014 he met with undercover federal agents in Las Vegas and arranged to launder millions of dollars in drug money through offshore bank accounts.
In December 2016, he reached a deal with prosecutors and 20 counts were dismissed in exchange for pleading guilty to wire fraud in which he explained various ways money could be laundered.
He spent eight months in prison.
