The international project FinCEN Files to identify financial offenses reports that four international banks at once reported data on suspicious transactions in the amount of $ 65 million associated with the ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.
It is reported that during Poroshenko’s presidency, Roshen’s accounts with the International Investment Bank received $ 1.8 million from Goldwest Investment, which was registered just three months before the start of his presidency. Goldwest Investment’s remittances have been identified as suspicious in FinCEN’s report. After all, as noted in the document, “Poroshenko probably participated in illegal actions, opening a new company during his presidency and not reporting this in his declaration.”
The press service of the fifth president called this information an unsubstantiated statement, which “gives the impression that the investigation is biased and politically motivated.”
They also noted that Roshen is an international company with its own enterprises in Ukraine and the European Union and a sales market in dozens of countries. The activities of such a company, the press service continues, “of course, is impossible without cross-border payments. They are carried out in full compliance with the law.”
As reported file leak FinCEN showed transactions worth about two trillion dollars. Some of the largest banks in the world have allowed criminals to smuggle dirty money around the world. The documents also showed how Russian oligarchs used banks to avoid sanctions that should have prevented them from importing their money into the West.
