Great @carmichaelstack @OCCRP story on Poroshenko's secret control of offshore firms that banked at Austria’s Raiffeisen

Thread on more Raiffeisen customers: Trump Toronto, Firtash, Deripaska, RZB was reputed front for Russian mafia boss Semion Mogilevich
occrp.org/en/investigati…
In March 2007 the $310 million construction loan for Trump Toronto’s developer Talon (led by Alex Shnaider & Val Levitan) came from Raiffeisen Bank/RZB

A non-interest-bearing loan was extended a dozen times & in 2015 Talon defaulted on the loan.

In 2004 Russia’s Gazprom formed a 50/50 partnership with RosUkrEnergo (RUE) controlled by Raiffeisen to sell gas from Turkmenistan to Ukraine’s Naftogaz.

In 2006 NYT reported that RUE was owned by Centregas, Dmitry Firtash owned 90% and Ivan Fursin 10%
