‘They killed Jano’ - A year after Ján Kuciak’s murder, the price for investigating organized crime is still far too high. by @DrewOCCRP politico.eu/article/they-k…
Reporters like Ján Kuciak and Daphne Caruana Galizia "are not supposed to be killed for their work. It’s a breakdown of our values and social norms" "...reporting in an environment where this can happen is a little like painting a house when it is on fire"
politico.eu/article/they-k…
About 20-30 years ago, organized crime globalized with the help of the “criminal services industry” — the Western banks, law firms, registration agents, Golden Visa peddlers, business intelligence firms, hedge funds and lobbyists who service their needs.
politico.eu/article/they-k…
"This profoundly undemocratic money moved to the West, safely laundered and hidden in hedge funds, investment banks, and high-end real estate. It then became increasingly political, investing in everything from Brexit to extremist and nationalist groups"

Troika Laundromat scandal has hit Austria's Raiffeisen Bank which saw shares drop 15% on the news - Raiffeisen allegedly received $634 million from Ukio and Danske’s Estonian unit

In 2007 Raiffeisen loaned $310 million Canadian to develop Trump Toronto

theguardian.com/world/2019/mar…
While the media reported on funding for Trump Toronto business partner Alex Shnaider from VEB - the bulk of funding came from Raiffeisen (RZB) on unusual favorable terms, with the loan extended multiple times and eventually defaulted on by Trump's partner
Shortly before Raiffeisen funded development of Trump Toronto it was involved in RosUkrEnergo deal on behalf of undisclosed beneficiaries - who turned out to be Dmitry Firtash and Ivan Fursin - RosUkrEnergo had been called a front for Semion Mogilevich

a lot of comments applauding this move... but now viewers receiving the most biased news will have even less access to important information and policy debates, how is that a good thing?
For those replying that viewers can change the channel - sure - but the DNC is not going to make Fox a better station by doing this, Fox can still cover the debates any way they want, instead the DNC is limiting viewership and setting a precedent the RNC can now use
Agree, we need to beware of adopting the framing set by Trump and Shine et al

Brexit already doing massive harm to the UK. Over 200 examples of job losses, lost investment, police & army prepping, companies moving assets to the EU or redomiciling. Meanwhile, the Government burns through £billions chasing a nutty no deal Brexit. Real life, not project fear!
The Government has spent £4.2 billion pounds on Brexit preparations (£2.2 billion in previous Budgets, plus an additional £2 billion in the most recent Budget.) 1/205

EU citizens will be obliged to register to stay in the UK after Brexit (deadline is June 2021). The registration system, which cost the Government £175 million, will have to cope with over 3,500,000 applications, or several thousand a day on average. 2/205

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
