Mainecat Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Trumps Panama hotel debacle goes from bad to worse Trump’s Panama hotel debacle goes from bad to worse Lawmakers demand answers about money laundering allegations at Trump's Panama hotel. Casey Michel Mar 2, 2018, 3:13 pm Things seem to be going from bad to worse for President Donald Trump’s property in Panama. In a letter obtained by ThinkProgress, Reps. Norma Torres (D-CA) and Eliot Engel (D-CA) questioned Alan Garten, general counsel at the Trump Organization, regarding what Trump and his associates knew about alleged money and drug trafficking at the property — and when they knew it. The letter points to a series of previous investigations, including a substantial report from Global Witness, into the building, which was formerly known as Trump Ocean Club. The reports highlighted how many egregious red flags Trump and his team ignored, all of which pointed to Trump’s Panamanian property being used to funnel “proceeds from Colombian cartels’ narcotics trafficking” — a reality that, as Global Witness points out, transformed Trump into “one of the beneficiaries” of the massive money laundering. snip// The signs of money laundering surrounding Trump’s Panama hotel, which Trump previously described as Ivanka Trump’s “baby,” have only grown more glaring with each consecutive report. Between the anonymous shell companies — a number of which included the word “Trump” in their names — snapping up units to the fact that numerous units were purchased both in bulk and in cash, or even with notorious “bearer shares,” all indications pointed toward the Trump property being used as a store for money laundering operations. These signs are obvious enough on their own; however, Torres and Engel also point out that Alexandre Ventura Nogueira, who acted as the Trump property’s initial primary broker, later admitted to outright offering money laundering protection as one of his services. more... https://thinkprogress.org/jump-back-whats-that-sound-6c72cdbc03e3/ Edited March 3, 2018 by Mainecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
