US SENATE RUSSIA PROBE ASKS FINCEN FOR INFORMATION ABOUT TRUMP



Sometimes, the most interesting aspects of a investigation are buried in the details, and must be extracted to be appeciated.The US Senate Intelligence Committee investigation into the possible influence of Russia upon the 2016 Presidential Campaign has requested that the FinCEN supply information related to the Trump organization, and its holdings. A Trump-owned casino was cited twice for violations of the anti-money laundering laws and regulations.

Of special note, regarding those FinCEN actions against the trump casino is a finding that there were massive failures to file Suspicious Activity Reports, more commonly known as SARs. Casinos are traditionally at elevated levels of risk for the laundering of criminal proceeds, and whether Russian funds, of dubious origin, were laundered through an American casino, appears to be the focus of this information request.
