The resignation of hardline president bush and co plus the emmy awards and hands it to the program of the watchmen again and again the h. B. O. Drama takes a lot of an emmy is that it is mostly virtual extravaganza will get a wrap. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program Money Laundering and a banking scandal of gigantic proportions records just revealed show that for years banks around the world have helped avert and conceal criminal funds documents leaked from the Us Treasury Department appear to show how banks helped to circumvent International Sanctions including those against iran and syria now danish and british banks as well as Germanys Deutsche Bank are among those implicated in the leaked files. All over the world criminals are using the Global Financial system to launder money its a dirty but lucrative business for the banks. If a bank notices a suspicious transfer it has to report it to the authorities. Thousands of such reports were obtained by by fake news. And then evaluated by the i. C. I. Jai. Its an International Network of investigative journalists. They have discovered evidence of Money Laundering worth 2. 00 trillion dollars. You could earn a lot by handling money from criminal sources. So thats why its hard for banks to say no to criminal money. In germany dortch a bank has some explaining to do the countrys largest bank already had to pay millions in fines in 27. 00 tane after dodgy dealings in russia. The investigation reveals that those illegal activities a much more extensive than previously thought russian criminals used torture banks Moscow Branch to loan to millions the current c. E. O. Christian saving served as head of corporate order thing at the time he did not raise the alarm but subsequent external investigations deed. Bank says it is since toughened its internal controls and it denies that c. E. O. Saving did anything wrong it says he was unaware of the external probe. I know i know how it goes she founded a unit that led these investigations is what were not playing next to what we have since been external investigations to us and at no stage could any responsibility be traced back to the head of the business to the consent of it and if im flipping to somebody to the conservatives who have a interest in the investigation also shows that us President Donald Trump may have profited from dirty money all agog from kazakstan allegedly bought apartments at the trump new york property with laundered money trumps Company Denies knowing who these customers were but they did make money from the transactions. The investigation shows the scale of international Money Laundering efforts to curb it a floundering because regulators cant get to grips with highly sophisticated criminal. Net worths. And we have Team Coverage of this story im joined here in the studio by Business ReporterArthur SullivanChelsea Delaney is standing by for us in frankfurt and arthur id like to begin with you the scale of this seems enormous what does it say about the Global Financial system you have the scale is enormous era so as the report was outlined 2 trillion dollars worth of transactions taken place over close to 2 decades the Research Work involved 400. 00 journalists from several countries all around the world took over a year to compile all this so much new information thats going to be coming out today and over the next week that we have to steadily pick through what it says about the Global Financial system i mean a lot of this in itself is not that shocking we know for years that banks have facilitated Money Laundering that they have through their practices without you know theyve allowed dirty money become clean money essentially the question is the scale of thats what this does this reveals it shows that its been happening on a very very large scale for several several years and it raises questions as to why this happens both from the banks perspective and from the regulators perspective so lets take a closer look at who exactly is doing this and chelsea with that id like to turn to you because it was reported that Deutsche Bank was involved in 60 percent of the leaked transactions you were there in frankfurt close to their headquarters tell us a little bit more about deutsche as well. Well torture being certainly finding itself at the heart of this new scandal well we dont know is whether all of these reports actually were linked to criminal activity and also if this is really representative of all of the suspicious activity reports given to the treasury this is just a small slice of them but its certainly another blow for Deutsche Bank after its been embroiled in so many scandals over the past several years this new investigation is really centered on its dealings and russia and helping to launder money for russian criminals these reports have already been out there for several years but this these this latest investigation definitely shows more more involvement than theyve been previously known and also an extremely lax oversight of that business even some of the most basic anti Money Laundering controls things like knowing who your clients are knowing their addresses who really didnt know who they were dealing with in russia and didnt seem to want to want to know because they were making so much money off of off of these clients so do it again for itself has said that they have really tried to clean up this business that theyve introduced new controls and that they now are a Different Bank than they were back then but it certainly raises a lot of questions about about the oversight dorsett bank so now what does this mean Going Forward both for and for its boss christians they have a. Well this certainly isnt the end of any scandal for them they are still being investigated over these and these russian Money Laundering allegations by the Justice Department in the United States theyve been fined by several regulators around the world already for this but they certainly could face more regulatory fines more regulatory penalties Going Forward it also certainly puts a lot of pressure and put the spotlight on christiane saving who was overseeing the Auditing Department richard bank at the time these these transactions and he has said you know he wasnt involved in this he didnt have really a say but he was the one through at the end of the day was in charge of that department and theres certainly a lot of criticism over the fact that he didnt do more to to stop this so its certainly another another black eye for torture bank as it has been trying to really move past all of these financial scandals arthur how could this go on for so long well the short and simple answer thats there is because banks have allowed it to go on the regulators of this they not been strange enough in stopping it but it leads on to a broader question who ultimately is responsible for this so its important to remember that the bank this information comes from information banks themselves have forwarded to regulators the daily came from the u. S. Treasury so banks file suspicious activity reports showing transactions involving millions sometimes billions that they believe to be suspicious are they ultimately responsible for stopping the perhaps you could say in a moral level they are because they make money from it and yet its criminal activity in some respects perhaps its the regulators job its a little bit like the global fight against tax avoidance and tax evasion weve seen how many countries and governments of struggle to combat the when its across borders so it really is a question of who is responsible for clamping down of this kind of stuff and what i suppose the journalists involved in this day will equal hope is that the scrutiny of this will lead to more pressure on regulators more pressure on governments to bring in stricter rules to prevent banks from allowing such dirty money go across their accounts and to complain money in effect to them as Arthur Sullivan here in the studio Chelsea Delaney in frankfurt thank you so much to both of you. Now we have developers protesters there are conceding nothing despite an intensive government crackdown tens of thousands of people gathered in major cities throughout the country on sunday police and the military have been out in force detaining peaceful demonstrators who are calling for president Alexander Lukashenko to step down after just peter elections. The streets of minsk turned into a sea of red and white flags the symbol of the opposition tens of thousands joined the march of justice in the capital and other cities its the 6th straight sunday of protests but what looks like a high turnout was actually significantly lower than other weekends perhaps a result of call expect president alex on the go for tougher action against his critics who want him to step down. Some of them have never experienced belarus without him. There recently stated i do my cards to voters this dreaming of democracy is dreaming of freedom and justice where laws are observed because we dont want our children to grow up in a prison look around their people in uniforms behind barbed wire everywhere. The government is flexing its military muscles Armored Vehicles a men to intimidate protesters metro stations were closed the internet slowed down dozens were arrested. And Police Brutality is getting more and more visible like here in grant no. Im not resisting stop strangling me i havent done anything shot this protester before Police Arrested him in response to the latest escalation of violence and online messaging channel with more than 2000000 subscribers published a list of names birthdays and addresses of more than 1000 Police Officers. And lets go now to make connelly who is standing by with the view from minsk nic tell us because we just heard about this leak of personal details of hundreds of Police Officers which has been distributed via the messaging app telegram what is behind that. Good morning and i will ease by opposition minded hakas this is an attempt by the opposition the designer has been coming out on all now for more than a month to somehow regain some kind of symmetry in all this conflict the most striking thing about these protests is you have people up again police in love as if the police were so convinced of what theyre doing is legitimate even legal why do they need to hide their faces obviously theres great unease among certain parts of the police that they will be sensitive to this behavior in the future by their by their neighbors by their relatives by society as a whole so this is an attempt to try and put pressure on the Armed Services on the Security Services to stand back from the kind of violence weve seen in recent days and it seems to be working that telegram channel you mentioned there already supposedly several 100 members of the Security Services have been in touch asking to be removed from that list promising to leave their jobs in the Security Services weve seen posters up in peoples houses where the opposition said look this is your name but this is what he did this is how he protests this protest so that is a stretch of the opposition seems to be taking one that looks to provide plenty of justice and as we see these actions going back and forth just take us out of the big picture because protests have entered their 7th week what is the sense of results among the process right now. There was definitely greater nervousness yesterday given the greater willingness to use violence even gets women who previously had been treated somewhat more carefully by the rightly so here in minutes after the numbers yesterday i dont think they were down that much the thing with the protests very spread out the government basically locked down the center so the protesters were spread across large suburbs so there wasnt one big marching group people were spread into several groups making it easier to see the Police Make Arrests but its not just about these big pieces on the weekends the big protest in the downtown this protest is going why do you see people in the east. Things meeting their neighbors in their yard surrounded buildings talking politics with their kids out as one very famous yard where theres an opposition mural that the police is removed time time again time time again the locals have replaced it so the police now have to come out and god will prevent local people from restoring this neural so real kind of catch and mouse game in which it doesnt really seem like government has many chances of being everywhere all the time nic on the International Level we know e. U. Foreign ministers theyre meeting today in brussels to approve sanctions on belarus is that likely to impact the situation. Well its very difficult to see what the e. U. Can do what kind of real impact it can make given that this is a regime that has come under sanctions time and time again of these kind of personalized travel bans and that is something that everyone in the government here was prepared for and has seen in the past and as a scene being taken away in the bus i think its about symbolism its about showing that the outside world is paying attention and is following these protests closely when you can people here they say as long as you are hes watching whats happening here they believe that the regime will hold back from some of the worst kind of repression but this is now just. A battle of a fight that will be decided here in belarus without europe being able to do much to tilt the book tilt the balance of power the way he did because Nick Connelly reporting from it thank you.
