Nimmt man an, dass es sich bei der #AserbaidschanConnection tatsächlich um handfeste #CDUKorruption handelt, so stellt sich natürlich auch die Frage, wie eigentlich Geld eines kaukasischen Diktators zu deutschen Parlamentariern fließen soll.

Man weiß zum Beispiel, dass #Aliyev insgesamt etwa 2,9 Milliarden US-Dollar über vier britische Briefkastenfirmen und deren Bankkonten bei der #DanskeBank in Estland in Europa verteilt hat. Damit wurden zahlreiche #Porsche gekauft - und Politiker wie #Strenz geschmiert.
Dieser "Aserbaidschanische Waschsalon" war zwischen 2010 und 2015 aktiv. Seit 2013 hatten jedoch alle großen internationalen Banken ihre Beziehungen zur #DanskeBank beendet, wegen Geldwäscheverdacht.

The suspect is alleged to have been part of the so-called “Troika Laundromat” - a money laundering network linked to the former Russian investment bank Troika Dialog, which maintained a network of offshore companies with accounts in Baltic banks. abcnews.go.com/International/…
The Troika Laundromat enabled the flow of US$ 4.6 billion into the system and directed the flow of $4.8 billion out. Among the counterparties on these transactions were major Western banks such as Citigroup Inc., Raiffeisen, and Deutsche Bank.

The subpoena concerns documents and data related to people or entities affiliated with the President
Thus was likely farmed out to SDNY &/or EDVA (counterintel)

Hmmm, well that's interesting. The EBA (European Banking Authority) closed it's own investigation into #DanskeBank money laundering, after they drafted an internal report on how EU laws about how Danske was supervised were breached.

I wonder if and/or how many people at the EBA may have been involved in Danske bank (or other bank) corruption.

The allegations lead to raids, stockholder revolt, firing of the CEO & efforts are underway to fire the Board of Directors.

2/ Heaks näiteks on Danske samm anda 200M eur heategevuseks. Väga vähetõenäoline, et kuigi palju sellest Eestisse jõuab, kuigi Danske võttis Eestist välja sel ajal kenasti kasumit. PR samm Taani avalikkuse ees pildi parandamiseks
3/ Ühtlasi on Danskel grupi tasemel oluline näidata, et see süülisus asus Eestis, millest juhtkond midagi ei teadnud. Ma arvan, et ka Eestis suures osas ei olnud see pahatahtlik tegevus, nähti lihtsalt ärivõimalust ja alahinnati riske.
