Earlier, the Bahamas condemned Russian military aggression in Ukraine and ordered its financial institutions to stop all transactions with Russian organizations that fell under Western sanctions.
The Central Bank of the Bahamas discovered about $3 billion in the accounts of financial institutions of its country, the owners of which are connected with Russia.
This is reported by Reuters.
The Central Bank of the Bahamas discovered $420 million in deposits and $2.5 billion in depositary or trust assets “with ultimate beneficial owners in or associated with Russia.”
These assets are for the international banking sector only. This amount does not include Russian assets that may be held in Bahamian banks that work with the local population.
It is not reported how much of these assets are under sanctions.
The Bahamas is one of the most largest offshore zones in the world. The Bahamas condemned Russian military aggression in Ukraine and ordered its financial institutions to stop all transactions with Russian organizations that fell under Western sanctions.
Recall that the Europeans staged a hunt for Russian luxury, and the United States is looking for Putin's hundreds of billions abroad.< /p>
