redm Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 It comes as no surprise to me whatsoever that even Google is refusing to work for me, I'm having that sort of week. Can some kind soul please post the translated version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groot Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Pish poor google translation coming up On two accounts at ING Belgium is a record amount of EUR 1.7 billion dirty money laundered. That is more than three times each year in Belgium by antiwitwascel intercepted. The Brussels court earlier this year has been conducting a criminal investigation into the money laundering case. The accounts were accused by the bank in antiwitwascel reported, but it was all dirty money abroad versluisd. In case the name of the Lithuanian bank Bankas Ukio said. The antiwitwascel now discovered that about 460 business customers of the Lithuanian bank, from a number of tax havens, thanks to accounts at ING Belgium proceeds of all kinds of frauds, scams and money laundering could eclipses. In total, the antiwitwascel the past year 17,170 reports of suspicious money transactions received. 1020 records were finally passed on to the floor. If someone can find a way to translate that it would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Clearly something going on ,did not the Lithuanian government try to freeze the assets in the accounts of some Ukios Bankas customers a few years ago as they thought the money was suspect and the bank said it was working fully in co operation with the Authorities ? Sure the walls street wizards in Hoboland made a big deal of that also . What is clear there is as yet not enough evidence in the open for a sane person to make a fair judgement as yet . On a side is not all Hearts debt now held by the UBIG group rather than the bank as stated at the AGM ? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 On a side is not all Hearts debt now held by the UBIG group rather than the bank as stated at the AGM ? . Therefore this would have no effect on HMFC whatsoever. If a company banks with a certain bank and that bank is found to be involved in shady dealings (although whether thats the case is not clear) then the company is in no way responsible.

Romanov's bank faces ?1.4bn quiz HEARTS OWNER VLADIMIR ROMANOV 'S BANK AT CENTRE OF MONEY-LAUNDERING PROBE By Graham McKendry, 20/06/2010 THE bank controlled by Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov is at the centre of a ?1.4BILLION money-laundering probe. Lithuanian-based Ukio Bankas - who sponsor the Tynecastle side - were reported to authorities by Belgian financial giant ING over a string of transactions in two accounts opened by them. And anti-corruption cops are said to have discovered 1.7billion euros of alleged dirty money moved though the two ING accounts by 460 companies. It's claimed that by the time the transactions had been uncovered, the enormous sums of cash had already been dispersed throughout the world's financial markets. Belgian authorities are now probing the deals, and Interpol also have a team investigating Ukio's activities. A banking insider revealed: "The sums involved are colossal."Some Russian banks have lost their licences over links to money laundering, so Ukio will have to prove they acted legally thoughout this." A football finance source added: "Although Hearts are sponsored by Ukio Bankas, their owners are Romanov's offshore firm, Ukio Bankas Investment Group. "But all Romanov's operations are intertwined, and it's impossible to know what effect, if any, this could have on UBIG. "What is certain is that Hearts owe Romanov's companies over ?35million, so he is the key to their very existence. "In a nutshell, anything that's bad news for Romanov is bad news for Hearts." The controversial soccer boss, 62, is the largest single shareholder in Ukio Bankas and effectively holds a controlling interest through his relatives, sidekicks and other companies. And the latest probe is NOT the first time the bank has been caught up in money laundering claims. In January 2009, tax officials in Lithuania revealed plans to seize almost ?14million of dirty money from Ukio accounts. And last month Kaunas District Court ordered ANOTHER ?7million lodged with Ukio Bankas should be passed to the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Right i am dumb when it comes to high finance bank issues ,So the allegations mean he (vlad) or somebody at his bank knowingly allowed 430 different offshore person(s) to put 1.7bn euros of alleged dodgy money through Ukios and from there to other banks to wash the money . Would not his bank show higher profit levels than a small boutique bank if such a high amount went through unless it was being hidden ,in which case Romanov may have a lot more in his own stash than people suspect as if the allegations are true whoever allowed it or turned a blind eye to dirty money would not have done so for free . Or it could be that the laws in Lithuanian banking are not good enough and being so the bank was oblivious to where the deposits came from ? .
