The Ukraine connection?

Reuters went on a reverse forensic journey. It found that after the first 2008 unmasking by the Mail on Sunday, all evidence of Robin Gunningham’s existence vanished – no tax records, employment records, property filings, zilch. In 2022 a bunch of Banksy artworks had started appearing on bombed out buildings in Ukraine. Reuters checked the immigration and border control records and found out that Robert Del Naja had entered the besieged country around the same time. Aha! Back to the Massive Attack link.
