" #AndrewMountbattenWindsor received millions of pounds from an oligarch using funds from a firm implicated in criminal corruption, a BBC investigation has found.
" #Kazakh #billionaire #TimurKulibayev has told the BBC through his lawyers that he used a loan from a company called #EnviroPacific Investments to help him buy Andrew's former mansion.
"Prosecutors in Italy concluded that the firm had received cash from a bribery scheme in 2007.
"Weeks after the last of these payments was made, the oligarch bought #SunninghillPark in Berkshire from the then prince for £15m - with the help of funds from Enviro Pacific.
"Kulibayev is the son-in-law of Kazakhstan's then-president and was one of the most influential officials in the central Asian country's #OilAndGas industry. The BBC has also learned that, in another case, an Italian businessman pleaded guilty to bribing the oligarch."
