Youtuber visits former home of one of the Island's most notorious money launderers

An urban explorer has filmed himself ignoring "do not enter" signs to visit the former home of one of the Island's most notorious money launderers.

A YouTube channel called Razor Twisted Exploring went to Africa House on Woodbourne Road in Douglas but couldn't get into the house after getting past security fencing around it.

The building was sealed up after an arson attack last year.

Its previous owner Trevor Baines was jailed for seven years in 2009 for money laundering and a further two and a half years in 2011 for stealing money to pay for his defence - he died in 2022.
