Quick Glance: Bankers convicted in Switzerland for money laundering on behalf of Putin
- The defendants ignored red flags, according to the judge.
- According to Judge Sebastian Aeppli, the bankers ignored obvious red flags that the money was being diverted to Putin in violation of international sanctions.
- Aeppli stated that it had been "proven beyond a shadow of a doubt" that Roldugin was not the true owner of the accounts, which had been closed in 2016.
- It should have raised suspicions not only because Roldugin was on a list of sanctioned individuals, but also because he is a musician rather than a businessman, and the amounts in these accounts totaled more than ten million Swiss francs, according to the judge.
