Ever since we walked down Old Park Lane, a narrow side street in Mayfair, and noted that money laundering Pilatus Bank's so-called London "office" was only a brass-plate (letter-box) affair, with nobody in attendance, and where the concierge declines your request to visit the"bank," the UK branch was dodgy, and meant only for the most Private of clients. The officer in charge appeared to spend much of her working days elsewhere, unless a VIP of Sadr required banking services, which generally meant that a number of regulations, if not criminal laws, would be broken.
The officer, one HANNA OLOFSSON, who now claims that she was merely an Executive Assistant, very quickly transitioned over to Oaktree Capital, which handles distressed capital. Strangely enough, while her LinkedIn page contains her former position as an Executive Assistant with Pilatus, the listing for her current position, as Administrator at Oaktree, is not on its site. Was Sadr buying distressed debt at Pilatus, through Ms. Olafsson, or something else, perhaps for his Venezuelan, Iranian, Azeri clients as well as those Russians.
We have no details about Ms. Olofsson's duties and obligations at Pilatus, how she came to be at Oaktree, and precisely when she left, but she did reportedly keep some dark secrets to herself, and departed abruptly without any notice to the public.. Will she be charged with money laundering ? Stay tuned to find out.
