NEW: We’re publishing a new investigative package on the #TroikaLaundromat, the vast financial scheme we revealed in March that allowed Russian elites, including oligarchs, politicians, and criminals, to channel billions of dollars out of the country. /1
Now we’re going behind the scenes. First, we show how IOS Group, a Latvian/Irish company registration agent, laid the groundwork for the Laundromat by creating the shell companies that allowed it to function. /2 occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
In addition to showing how IOS Group helped create the #TroikaLaundromat, the story looks into some of the other schemes that offshores created by the company were involved in, including the Russian Magnitsky affair and the PrivatBank scandal in Ukraine. /3
Seems that Deloitte auditing firm has resigned in protest to pressure to certify the audit of Ferrexpo, the largest Ukrainian iron ore producer. Ferrexpo's stock dropped 25% or $1.5B lost in market value in response to the news that Deloitte ran away!

Seems their board members refused to accept that a major shareholder was controlling a 'charity' that the company was supporting. He was the Chief Executive Officer Kostyantin Zhevago at the charity "Blooming Land." #ButNothingsHappening
Ukrainian authorities are investigating the transactions as potential money laundering & tax evasion. The company's board ruled unanimously that the CEO of the charity, didn't have control of the charity so it wasn't an issue for Deloitte auditors to worry about...

“This Fri is better than next Friday b/c next Fri is the 3/15, which is the Ides of March,"
“& I don't think Mueller will want to have that dramatic flair when he delivers what I think are going to be are his indictments, the final indictments as well the report."

Don't have time for a real thread on this, but there has been a lot happening on the global money laundering network cases! I just have to share it! We are seeing historic transparency into the corruption of banking, politics & enabling of crimes! #ButNothingsHappening
@OCCRP & @ICIJ & other groups are breaking stories on the Troika Laundromat, another gigantic scheme to launder money from Russia into supposedly reputable banks in West who chose to not ask questions! #TroikaLaundromat
1/ This week, after months of work by many dozens of people, @OCCRP began publishing the first stories in a big series: The #TroikaLaundromat, which uncovers a secret mechanism that moved billions of $, mostly out of Russia, around the world.
2/ Here's the first story, which explains how and by whom the system was built, how it works, and who used it. We tried to be careful to show that it had many uses — not just money laundering. (Some retellings of our story are already getting this wrong.) occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
3/ This second story, which just came out today, goes into a specific user — an Austrian man who facilitated the functioning of the Laundromat, got in too deep, came to regret it, and ended up dead. occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
A charity run by Prince Charles received a $200,000 donation from an offshore company tied to a scheme to launder Magnitsky-fraud loot, according to this scoop by @OCCRP and the @guardian. theguardian.com/world/2019/mar…
If your ears perked up at "Magnitsky fraud," you probably have been paying attention.
