  • The Trump-Russia Collusion Case
    The Trump-Russia Collusion Case Updated to August 2020 Source: http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/trumptraitor.html For those who have been following this page for a while: my main target is not Trump, my target is Putin. Putin, not Trump, is the most dangerous person in the world. Trump is just a lackey, a small-time crook and bit-time liar whom Putin is using to attack the USA. The problem is not that there is no evidence of Trump-Putin collusion, the problem is that there is too much of it. I have added some background about the motive of Russia's interference in US politics. In my opinion, it was not only a general attempt at undermining US institutions (that came later) but originally it was a determined effort to make sure that Hillary Clinton did not become president. Putin feared her more than anyone else. For those who have NOT followed this page from the beginning: this website was one of the first to talk about the Trump-Russia collusion at a time when few dared mention the Steele dossier. Just to be very clear: this is not about whether Russia's interference changed the results of the election (i personally think that the FBI investigation into Clinton's email server had a much bigger impact). It is about Putin's strategy to attack the USA, and, secondly, it is about the extent of Trump's collaboration with Putin. And, just to be fair, Putin's Russia is not the only country that ever interfered in US politics.

Fuente: Telesur, “Panamá Papers: ¿Cómo esconden su riqueza los ricos y poderosos?”, 4 de abril de 2016. Consultado en la misma fecha en: http://www.telesurtv.net/news/Panama-Papers-Como-esconden-su-riqueza-los- ricos-y-poderosos-20160404-0027.html 1 Introducción El pasado 3 de abril, el periódico alemán Süddeutsche Zeitung reveló una investigación realizada en por el Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas de Investigación (ICIJ, por sus siglas en inglés) por medio de la cual se obtuvieron millones de documentos pertenecientes a la firma panameña de abogados Mossack Fonseca, y en los cuales se constata que diversos líderes políticos y asociados, empresarios, celebridades, y presuntos criminales contrataron los servicios de dicha empresa. El establecimiento de estos vínculos se dio con la intención de crear sociedades de ultramar (offshore) en pequeños países catalogados como “paraísos fiscales”, debido a la laxa regulación y las bajas tasas tributarias que imponen a los ingresos de las personas. Aunque el Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas de Investigación ha sido enfático en que los llamados “documentos de Panamá” (o Panama Papers, en inglés) no demuestran necesariamente que los individuos involucrados hayan incurrido en ilegalidades,1 el recurso de las sociedades de ultramar en paraísos fiscales se utiliza frecuentemente ya para evadir obligaciones impositivas, ya para procesar o esconder ganancias producto de actividades ilícitas.

  • Turning the Tide on Dirty Money Why the World’S Democracies Need a Global Kleptocracy Initiative
    GETTY IMAGES Turning the Tide on Dirty Money Why the World’s Democracies Need a Global Kleptocracy Initiative By Trevor Sutton and Ben Judah February 2021 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Contents 1 Preface 3 Introduction and summary 6 How dirty money went global and why efforts to stop it have failed 10 Why illicit finance and kleptocracy are a threat to global democracy and should be a foreign policy priority 13 The case for optimism: Why democracies have a structural advantage against kleptocracy 18 How to harden democratic defenses against kleptocracy: Key principles and areas for improvement 21 Recommendations 28 Conclusion 29 Corruption and kleptocracy: Key definitions and concepts 31 About the authors and acknowledgments 32 Endnotes Preface Transparency and honest government are the lifeblood of democracy. Trust in democratic institutions depends on the integrity of public servants, who are expected to put the common good before their own interests and faithfully observe the law. When officials violate that duty, democracy is at risk. No country is immune to corruption. As representatives of three important democratic societies—the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom—we recognize that corruption is an affront to our shared values, one that threatens the resiliency and cohesion of democratic governments around the globe and undermines the relationship between the state and its citizens. For that reason, we welcome the central recommendation of this report that the world’s democracies should work together to increase transparency in the global economy and limit the pernicious influence of corruption, kleptocracy, and illicit finance on democratic institutions.

  • Following the Money: Lessons from the Panama Papers Part 1
    ARTICLE 3.4 - TRAUTMAN (DO NOT DELETE) 5/14/2017 6:57 AM Following the Money: Lessons from the Panama Papers Part 1: Tip of the Iceberg Lawrence J. Trautman* ABSTRACT Widely known as the “Panama Papers,” the world’s largest whistleblower case to date consists of 11.5 million documents and involves a year-long effort by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists to expose a global pattern of crime and corruption where millions of documents capture heads of state, criminals, and celebrities using secret hideaways in tax havens. Involving the scrutiny of over 400 journalists worldwide, these documents reveal the offshore holdings of at least hundreds of politicians and public officials in over 200 countries. Since these disclosures became public, national security implications already include abrupt regime change and probable future political instability. It appears likely that important revelations obtained from these data will continue to be forthcoming for years to come. Presented here is Part 1 of what may ultimately constitute numerous- installment coverage of this important inquiry into the illicit wealth derived from bribery, corruption, and tax evasion. This article proceeds as follows. First, disclosures regarding the treasure trove of documents * BA, The American University; MBA, The George Washington University; JD, Oklahoma City Univ.

  • How the United States Can Combat Russia's Kleptocracy
    Atlantic Council EURASIA CENTER ISSUE BRIEF How the United States Can Combat Russia’s Kleptocracy JULY 2018 ANDERS ÅSLUND Executive Summary ussian President Vladimir Putin’s regime is characterized by a combination of secret police and organized crime, which the late scholar Karen Dawisha named “kleptocracy.” This kleptoc- racy can be seen as a system of three key circles. The first circle Ris authoritarian control over the state, including law enforcement and the courts. The second circle is the big state companies that Putin con- trols through their chief executives, his loyal appointees, who extract funds from the companies for their personal benefit. The third circle consists of Putin’s old friends from the St. Petersburg business world who obtained companies that greatly benefited from public procure- ment and asset stripping from the big state companies. This system cannot function without a fourth circle, offshore assets. Ironically, the Kremlin’s executive control of the courts has deprived Russia of real property rights, and not only ordinary rich Russians but also its rulers transfer their assets abroad to keep them safe. They have three requirements for their money’s destination: the country must have sound rule of law, allow anonymous ownership, and have deep asset markets, because their assets are substantial. Many years of fighting against shell banks and repeated financial crashes have minimized money laundering through dubious jurisdictions. Today, few countries with sound rule of law allow anonymous ownership on a large scale. Generally speaking, the only ones that do are countries with The Eurasia Center’s mission is to Anglo-American legal systems.
