Where

Hi.



"As a result, there are now wealthy families all around the UK still indirectly enjoying the proceeds of slavery where it has been passed on to them."[From The Independent.]

Is the word "where" a conjunction or a relative adverb referring to the adverb phrase

"all around the UK" in the cited sentence?

Thank you.
