A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette investigation, bolstered by thousands of secret government records, found that banks kept moving billions for the oligarchs and their companies at the same time they were filing reports with the U.S. Treasury after they found the hallmarks of financial crimes like money laundering.
Known as suspicious activity reports, the records which are never disclosed to the public are part of a Post-Gazette investigation into money laundering that began with revelations about millions of dirty dollars in the U.S. steel industry.
The records, shared with the newspaper by BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold, offer an extraordinary glimpse into the world of international corruption, terrorist networks, and the global elite who move their money through American banks.
Consider the case of the 70-year-old Mr. Rotenberg, whose companies reaped billions to set up the Winter Olympics in Sochi eight years ago and whose holdings include four villas and a luxury hotel in Italy, according to Forbes.
