Why Are Russian Oligarchs Only Now in the Press Spotlight?

As governments around the world race to sanction associates of Vladimir Putin, the British media turns its attention to the role Russian oligarchs have played in public life. An edition of Panorama aired allegations about the source of Roman Abramovich's wealth and The Sunday Times reported that Evgeny Lebedev was made a peer despite the concerns of the security services. But why is it only now that the mainstream press has put the oligarchs in the spotlight? What stopped them before?

With guests Paul Caruana Galizia, reporter at Tortoise Media; Adam Bienkov, political editor at Byline Times; Laura Kayali, tech correspondent at Politico; Natalia Antelava, journalist and co-founder of Coda Story, a global affairs news site; and Lionel Barber, former editor of The Financial Times.
