Rudy Giuliani tied to money-laundering scheme that embezzled $10 billion from Kazakhstan.

https://www.dcreport.org/2018/10/31/group-calls-investigation-of-guiliani-trump-money-laundering-scheme/

A human rights organization has asked Dutch prosecutors to open a criminal investigation into multi-billion dollar money laundering schemes that they say were aided by Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and his old law firm.

The complaint is clearly aimed at examining how much money stolen from a former Soviet satellite ended up benefitting Trump. He is named 16 times in the complaint’s footnotes.

The complaint describes “one of the biggest fraud cases ever” in which “some of these money flows ultimately ended up in the Netherlands” because “Dutch service providers helped to cover up the money laundering acts.”

...

The complaint asserts that a small slice of the missing billions was run through Dutch shell corporations with help from Rudy Giuliani’s old law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani. Until 2016, Giuliani was a partner in the 470-lawyer firm.

...

The Dutch television program Zembla aired an investigative piece on Trump and his Russian associates in 2017. It followed up with an expose of a Trump business partner’s role in a Dutch money laundering scheme.

...

Trump is known to have done deals with some of those mentioned in the complaint, including Felix Sater, a violent Long Island felon who was born in Russia. For years Sater traveled extensively with Trump working on deals named in the complaint and handing out his Trump Organization business card.




I can wholeheartedly recommend the Zembla-documentaries on Trump's money-laundering. You can find them on Youtube.

Not to mention that he was a totally ineffectual clown as a trump advocate.

We don't accept international court justice. Also, Trump would protect him from extradition.

I'm guessing he's plotting his escape to a country without an extradition agreement.

You can use that to correct a mistake/typo like one pointed out by The Liberal Lion.

These trump people act so fucking weird the only explanation for their behavior (outside of just plain insanity) is the cover up of crime.
