As a result of my over 25 years investigating the Russian Orthodox Church in USSR/Russia and the current head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, I have come to the conclusion that the Russian Orthodox Church has worked as a state-run money laundry for decades.

The church could launder their money and that of the Orthodox oligarch and other Russian oligarchs through Swiss Bank accounts and transfers to off shore accounts with the help of Swiss accountants and businessmen, a couple of them have known the Patriarch for years

and one of these businessmen gave him a chalet back in the 1970s.
Otherwise when directly asked about his palaces, luxury cars, yachts and jets the Patriarch says they are all owned by the Russian Orthodox Church. This is to be expected.

Bank accounts appear to be well hidden in Switzerland. Well the Patriarch is good for several billion and the Russian Orthodox Church for copious amounts of money all deposited in the name of the church but laundered for the Kremlin, oligarchs and the Orthodox oligarch.

The Patriarch alone made billions from cigarette import, export of oil, precious stones and the most expensive seafood, the Kamchatka crab.. This began before he became Patriarch

The Patriarch was a KGB agent from the 1970s staunchly supporting the intelligence services and providing them with information gathered while abroad working as the ROC member of the world Council of Churches.

And the Patriarch continues to show his "true faith" by openly supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the war atrocities and killings of innocent Ukrainian civilians thus making him guilty of these atrocities which he should stand trial for.

So please follow the UK and slam crippling sanctions on him now...
