Swedbank's former CEO is indicted for fraud for statements in 2018-19 trying to cover up the banks role in laundering money for Russian & Ukrainian oligarchs through Estonia & into the European Union & the US.
What transactions triggered the investigations & regulatory interest in Swedbank's money laundering?
Following money laundered to Paul Manafort by oligarchs through Swedbank's Estonian branch...
Swedbank laundered between $6-10B for 50 oligarchs from 2007-2017. Their laundromat was shutdown in May 2017 as Mueller began his investigation into who Manafort was working for & how they were paying him.
The CEO & Chairman of the Board were both forced to resign in early 2019 as this scandal was exposed. The bank agreed to flip on the customers & executives, which is likely what lead to the CEO being charged.
Here is an article on the transaction that caused much of Swedbank's implosion after they were caught lying about this transaction. A $1M payment from a shell company for Ukraine's President Yanokovich to Paul Manafort.
The new CEO of Swedbank even waived attorney client privilege for the bank to force the law firm who helped cover up the money laundering to answer questions about how & why they covered it up.
It wasn't until 2020 that we learned that the investigation lead to Swedbank & customers manipulating markets to gain more profit off the money laundering crimes.
Mikhail Abyzov, one of then Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's (Putin's Puppet) Cabinet officials laundered almost $800M through the bank from 2011-2016

After Vladislav Klyushin was arrested in Switzerland, the Russians tried very hard to get him extradited to Russia & away from the DOJ.

While the Swampy conservative media gaslit conservatives that nothing was being done against Antifa, the FBI was infiltrating their protests, surveilling them, arresting them, & dismantling them.
Those who fell for the fake news about the FBI running the 1/6 insurrection gave an out to the left to complain about FBI infiltrating Antifa to stop them.
While the fake news on the right blames Trump's FBI Director Chris Wray, he authorized this & testified that the FBI was investigating Antifa members as domestic terrorists.

Here is the FARA registration... efile.fara.gov/docs/7048-Exhi…
Oh, the FARA also lists Lord Barker of Battle as one of the foreign principles giving orders.
I've covered him in other threads due to his connections to the Russian, UK, & Chinese Swamps...
One of the Swamp's primary means of crating or killing a case is to get the defendant's lawyers to influence the case to sell a certain narrative or obstruct a case.
Durham thinks Clinton connected lawyers are going to represent her campaign against the interests of Danchenko...
It is not unusual to get a patsy to plead guilty & sell a narrative to protect the Swamp creatures & criminals behind them.
I wish I didn’t believe that thousands of people fell for this fake narrative.
But when the Swamp blames the FBI, some people just want to believe the Swamp.
FBI lost nothing, FBI didn’t have a warrant for those items, Epstein’s lawyers took them while FBI was getting a warrant.
It is why the author shared a screenshot of a reporters misleading headline & not the story.
This poster is taking fake news spin from the MSM & turning it into a complete lie.
Pic included for when they delete this or get banned.
The reality is Epstein’s lawyers took the items.
FBI got a 2nd warrant & found them missing.
Then the lawyers produced boxes that may or may not have been the originals.
