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.

occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
📌As president of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades has worked to strengthen his country’s relationship with Russia while dealing with international criticism of its lax financial and money laundering controls.

occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
🔑But several years before his 2013 election, Anastasiades’ law firm at the time, was arranging business deals linked to a friend of Putin, the infamous Magnitsky scandal, and a network of companies used in various financial crimes.

📌Records from the defunct Lithuanian Ukio Bankas, reveal the law firm’s work executing complex deals that moved Russian money to and from shell companies created by and associated with the firm.

occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
📌Two of those shells — Batherm Ventures Ltd. and Matias Co Ltd. — appear to be deeply entwined with the Troika Laundromat.

occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
Batherm and Matias sent more than $323 million into the system for various reasons.

The leaked documents also suggest that Alexander Abramov, a Russian billionaire, was behind both Batham & Mathias,

“Russian money laundering, admittedly the biggest threat to the European financial system, has been funneled historically through the Baltics and Cyprus with the latter assuming a more fundamental role as a conduit for dirty capital flows,”

From August 23, 2007 through June 17, 2008, Batherm transferred more than $96 million in eight installments to another British Virgin Islands shell company, Delco Networks S.A & is one of the approximately 75 companies that make up the Troika Laundromat

occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
Among the transactions Delco handled was the 2008 purchase of 70,000 shares in Russian energy giant Rosneft from International Media Overseas. #Rosneft

That company is linked to famed cellist Sergei Roldugin, who is known to be an old friend of Putin and is widely considered a proxy holder of wealth for the Russian president.

occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
The Roldugin-linked company received more than $800,000 in the transaction.

Delco also helped shift $2.2 million stolen from the Russian government in the 2007 Magnitsky affair.

occrp.org/en/troikalaund…
This $230 million tax fraud was exposed by Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who was subsequently arrested and died in prison at the age of 37 after being mistreated by the same police officers he had implicated in the theft.

Batherm and Matias jointly agreed in February 2007 to buy Energostroyinvest-Holding, which was then Russia’s largest builder of electrical networks and thermal power plants.

The buyer is identified as Alexander Abramov.
