AMERICANA, Brazil, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Federal prosecutors in Brazil are conducting a criminal investigation into alleged international money laundering by a man at the center of a Reuters inquiry into U.S. President Donald Trump’s first international hotel project.

Reuters reviewed more than 350 pages of a sealed investigation by federal police into Alexandre Ventura Nogueira, who spent two years in Brazil after fleeing Panama in 2012. The inquiry has not previously been disclosed. Nogueira was instrumental in selling many units in the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama City, an investigation by Reuters and NBC News found.

“Federal prosecutors in Sao Paulo have been investigating Alexandre Henrique Ventura Nogueira since 2013 for financial crimes and money laundering,” the prosecutors’ office said in a written statement. The inquiry slowed after Nogueira fled Brazil in October 2014, but the statement added: “The case remains open, Brazilian authorities are aware of the target’s suspicious activities in other countries, and we hope that will help to locate his whereabouts.”

Nogueira, 43, told Reuters he had laundered money for corrupt officials in Panama but said he was not aware of a federal investigation into him in Brazil. He denied wrongdoing in Brazil, and does not face criminal charges there.

2. Richard Engel mentioned this on his show tonight

when he replaced Rachel on MSNBC for the night. His report was all about the Panama issue. He said that people have already written to him after seeing the initial show and either applauded him for the info or they accused him of being another media fake news Dem propaganda machine. One person even wrote that he doesn't care what the moron does or did and long as he keeps seeing his 401K $ rolling into his bank account.
The GOP and F ux Ruse have successfully brainwashed them. I am ashamed and embarrassed for being an American. I felt this way in 2004 and had to leave the country for my mental health due to Bush and his war which were still being supported at the time. Actually, this time is much worse for me that 2004.

Trump destroys everything he touches, and the economy will not escape unscathed.
