Human Rights Group Calls For Investigation Of Giuliani, Trump Money-Laundering Scheme

Source: Salon

A human rights organization has asked Dutch prosecutors to open a criminal investigation into multi-billion dollar money laundering schemes that they say were aided by Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and his old law firm.

The complaint is clearly aimed at examining how much money stolen from a former Soviet satellite ended up benefitting Trump. He is named 16 times in the complaint's footnotes.

The complaint describes "one of the biggest fraud cases ever" in which "some of these money flows ultimately ended up in the Netherlands" because "Dutch service providers helped to cover up the money laundering acts."

"The money laundering network started in Kazakhstan, where a figure of up to USD 10 billion was purportedly embezzled," the complaint asserts. "This money was subsequently circulated by two Kazakh oligarch families via a worldwide network of shell companies. A number of these companies were established in the Netherlands. The money was subsequently invested in real estate projects in the United States and Europe, after which it was paid out as 'profits' via - once again - a network of shell companies."

This is related to the earlier investigation reported in the Dutch documentary program, Zembla.

Also, Felix Sater is named in the complaint.
