BBC News: The billion-dollar ex-council flat
"A bizarre trail leads from an impoverished former Soviet republic to the palm-fringed shores of the Indian Ocean and beyond, via a Scottish ex-council flat - the trail of $1bn stolen from Moldova, Europe's poorest country. For the first time, the flat's owner has shed further light on the mystery.
A gritty Scottish housing estate is not the obvious place to search for $1bn that's gone missing from a small country at the other end of Europe.
But a modest ground floor two-bedroom ex-council flat in Pilton, north Edinburgh, is home to a mysterious firm with the right to collect that vast sum, allegedly stolen from the former Soviet republic of Moldova.
The Pilton flat in question is home to an astonishing 530 firms registered at the address."
