  • Comment: Please explain what the "Azerbaijani Laundromat" actually is/was and how it worked so that readers unfamiliar with the subject understand what it is. See the Guardian source you cited as an example on what information people expect to find in an article such as this one and write something similar (without copying the source of course).

The Azerbaijani laundromat is a complex money-laundering scheme revealed by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) in September, 2017. The investigations exposed that during two years between 2012 and 2014 about USD 2.9 billion was siphoned through European companies and banks. The money was used to pay off European politicians in an attempt to whitewash Azerbaijan’s reputation abroad.
