His wife’s shareholding company is still opening business in Russia, and Sunak is besieged.

　　BEIJING, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) The new British Prime Minister Sunak has been in trouble for less than two weeks. The latest one is from his rich wife, Aksa Tower Murti.

　　The British "Guardian" revealed on November 4th that a company with Murti’s share was still operating in the local area after it announced its withdrawal from Russia more than half a year ago. This runs counter to Britain’s high-profile slogan of supporting Ukraine and sanctioning Russia.

　　Infosys, founded by Murti’s father, has more than 300,000 employees and business in more than 50 countries and regions around the world, making IT the second largest IT company in India. It is said that Murti holds 0.91% of the company’s shares, worth 690 million pounds, and can get millions of pounds in dividends every year.

　　In April this year, the company said it was closing its office in Russia, but seven months later, The Guardian found that the company had a staffed office in Moscow, the Russian capital, and was still doing business.

　　What makes Sunak even more embarrassed is that in March this year, when he was the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, he called on British companies to reduce their investment in Russia and urged asset owners and managers to "carefully consider the investment that may support Putin in any sense".

　　As soon as the news came out, Angela Reina, the deputy leader of the British opposition Labor Party, immediately stood up and criticized Sunak, saying that he "failed to handle his own affairs" when promoting to others, and that it was "shameful" for the Sunak family to benefit from business in Russia.

　　This incident also caused discussion on the Internet. Some netizens echoed Angela Reina and thought that if Infosys was still operating in Russia, the Prime Minister’s wife should sell her shares.

　　It has been pointed out that Murti’s shareholding is less than 1%, which is not enough to make a decision. "I don’t think she is involved in the daily operation of the company."

　　Others believe that this is an Indian company, which is responsible to Indian shareholders and "has no obligation to close any business for British politics".

　　Some people think that this is an "almost undisguised clever attack" on the Prime Minister.

　　Others spit, "You mean, Sunak should teach his father-in-law to do things?"

　　This is not the first time Sunak has got into trouble because of Infosys.

　　Earlier this year, the financial situation of Sunak and his family was under strict scrutiny. His wife Murti used the status of "non-British tax residence" to avoid paying taxes in the UK, which was huge and caused doubts from all sides. The opposition party accused the Sunak family of evading British taxes through special status.

　　The British "Independent" previously reported that Murti’s dividend income from Infosys in 2021 may exceed 10 million pounds. According to British law, it is necessary to pay 38.1% additional tax on this part of income, which is about 4 million pounds.

　　In the end, the matter ended when Murti was forced to say that she would stop paying taxes on her overseas income in the UK. She expressed the hope that her tax situation would "not interfere with her husband".
