26. Money laundering may be Euro legal issue
Thu Jul 1, 2021, 06:48 AM
Jul 2021

Trump used foreign banks, so the money laundering may fall under European laws and crimes. I would think he could be indicted for overseas crimes, here in the US and the money was spent here. But the false documentation to get the loans may be under foreign control as it originated there.
we can hope this does open Russian money laundering scams and target Americans who abused this kind of illegal financial activity.
