Before the conflict with Ukraine, the net outflow of money from Russia was in 2011 from 81 billion USD, the following year it dropped to 54 billion, in 2013 it rose to 60 billion and by 2014 it had risen again to $152 billion, mainly due to thecrisis with Ukraine. In 2015 this figure dropped to 52 billion, falling in 2016 to 15 billion.
As is well known, Russia is a big seller of hydrocarbons and other materials. The premiums generated by a continuous income of foreign exchange, which largely ends up in the private pockets. The international research group OCCRP has been tracking 21 billion, leaving Russia between 2011 and 2014. While the fundamental structure of the leaks was already known, no less than British banks came to light, and a little also, Swiss banks, which have taken in only 600 million.
The 21 million came from 19 Russian banks and ‘landed’ in accounts distributed in more than 730 western banks in a total of 96 countries. The operations were made from a British offshore company, with a bank account in Great Britain, which granted loans to another company of the same type, guaranteed by Russian funds in Moldova. The debtor’s default was then simulated, and the collection of the guarantee was thus Moldova, and then to Latvia, where it arrived well washed and integrated into the circuit of European financial services, and eventually used for purchases or transactions business.
The consequence of this discovery was the intervention of the Moldovan bank and the liquidation of the bank in Lithuania. Researchers assume that the Russians in the meantime are creating other strategies for their capital flight. But one might ask why Russian money is so persecuted, because a large part of it has a legal origin according to Russian rules. It is precisely this persecution that forces to structure entry routes to the West, which costs them a lot of money that
ends up in the pockets of European lawyers and consultants and this leads to the suspicion that that there should be a clear interest in maintaining this situation of unnecessary underground.
The persecutory itch of any money from a country less wealthy than European level seems to be reason enough for alarms to be raised and for mermaids. One example: the deplorable political situation in Venezuela, which is causing avery cruel shortage, explains why so many families have been forced out of the country, or at least get their money out, as an emergency reserve. Obviously, there are Venezuelans who take advantage in this sense of privileges allowed by Maduro and its people, but this doesn’t justify putting Venezuela on some kind of blacklist, as they do some western banks.
Let us not forget in this order of things, that those who take out their money most to have it in secure currencies – such as the USD or the Euro – are the same public officials corrupt. Once again, the righteous pay for sinners.
