Development comes as Denmark cracks down on financial crime

🔥Accounting Firms in the Barrel too🔥

Denmark has reported the local operations of Ernst & Young and KPMG to the police amid a widening crackdown on money laundering in the country.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
📌EY is being investigated for failing to alert the authorities to red flags linked to the Danske Bank A/S Estonian laundering case.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
📌KPMG was the auditor of Kobenhavns Andelskasse, a small local lender that was shut down last year amid concerns it was systematically used for money laundering.

‼️Estonian Laundromat‼️

The Danish Business Authority started its investigation into EY last year as the full scale of the Danske scandal became known.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
📌Danske Bank Denmark’s biggest bank is at the center of a $230 billion Estonian laundering saga that spans the years 2007 to 2015.

The financial watchdog has more recently warned that smaller lenders are also at risk of being targeted by launderers, as the biggest banks beef up their compliance efforts.

📌Ernst & Young is on the hook for its work auditing Danske’s accounts for 2014.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
KPMG has been reported to police for its audit of the 2017 annual report of Kobenhavns Andelskasse.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Denmark has made clear it wants to set some of Europe’s toughest standards in the fight against money laundering, after the country’s reputation was tainted by the Danske Bank scandal.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Lawmakers agreed last month to include in those new standards the freedom to ban accounting firms from doing business, if they don’t do their jobs properly.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The dirty-money scandal that’s swept through the Nordic and Baltic regions has more recently also engulfed Swedbank AB, Sweden’s oldest bank and biggest mortgage lender.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
📌📌Swedbank had initially hired Ernst & Young to conduct a review of its suspicious transactions, but dropped the firm amid public criticism due to the ongoing Danish investigation.

📌According to Ernst & Young, its Danish unit “has fully collaborated with the Danish Business Authority since October 2018 and has made available all documents regarding our audit,” it said in an emailed statement.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
‼️Multiple Investigations‼️

KPMG said it “reacted and drew attention to, among other things, procedural failures in connection with the area of money laundering, both to the management and the board.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The Financial Supervisory Authority also received our reporting,” according to an emailed statement by Anette Harritz, who is the quality, risk and management partner at KPMG in Denmark.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The firm believes it has “lived up to” its obligations as an auditor, she said.

📌The investigation into Ernst & Young was started a month after Danske published a report revealing the vast scale of the scandal.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
📌Danske is now the target of investigations in several European countries. In the U.S., the bank is being probed by the Department of Justice and the SEC.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Its share price slumped almost 50 percent last year amid bets that Danske is now facing hefty fines.
Between 2007 and 2015, Danske Bank changed auditors four times.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
In 2011, the bank dropped the accounting firm Grant Thornton in favor of PWC.

A year later, PWC was dropped, leaving KPMG as Danske’s sole auditor.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
In 2014, the bank dropped KPMG and hired Ernst & Young. A year later, it dropped EY and hired Deloitte, which has stayed with Danske since.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
‼️Estonia’s state prosecutor will expand an investigation into money laundering allegations against Danske Bank A/S to include Swedbank AB of Sweden.

EG:”The Assange/Manning/Snowden narrative was designed to attack the credibility of American NatSec, the last line of defense against an all-out assault by the transnational organized criminal organizations.”

Any description of USA as an ‘Empire’ = TOC/RU narrative.

“When the Guardian editors told Assange they would redact the names of Afghans mentioned in the leaked cables whose lives would be otherwise endangered,

Assange said: “Well, they're informants. So, if they get killed, they've got it coming to them. They deserve it.”

Schiff: If Barr & RR redact MR for Congress, it will be by choice, not legal compulsion.

Rosenstein chose to give a GOP House nearly 1 million pages of discovery in Clinton & Russia probe.

But they choose not to give 400 pages of Trump-related info to a Dem House.

THREAD: *today* the FBI raided the office of Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen👉🏼seized records related to several topics, including payments to @StormyDaniels‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/04/09/us/…
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan got a SEARCH WARRANT based on a referral from Mueller, according to Cohen’s lawyer. The search does NOT appear to be directly related to Mueller’s probe, but likely resulted from information Mueller uncovered👉🏼gave to prosecutors in NY. 2/
Cohen plays a role in MANY aspects of Mueller's #TrumpRussia🇷🇺investigation, plus he also allegedly paid $130k to Stormy Daniels.

The hush money is *only one of MANY topics* covered by today's search warrant👉🏼FBI also seized emails, tax documents & business records‼️😎 3/
