xAccording to a report by Business Insider, a new project has revealed what it claims is a 9 billion dollar money laundering operation that links corrupt politicians to Russia’s largest private investment bank, Troika Dialog. The operation was reportedly uncovered by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project and a Lithuanian news site, in partnership with the Guardian, and outlined how billions of dollars were funneled between shell-companies into the global banking system. Investigators claim the project represents one of the largest releases of banking information ever, involving over $470 billion dollars sent in 1.3 million leaked transactions from 233,000 companies.
