Umgqatswa wobongameli kwi-Democratic Hillary Clinton.(Ifoto: Jeff Swensen / Getty Izithombe) Izityhilelo zoko kubizwa ngokuba Amaphepha ePanama ezihamba zihamba phambili kwezopolitiko nakwezemali kule veki zibandakanya iinyani ezibalulekileyo malunga neQela uClinton. Esi sitokhwe singenakuthelekiswa nanto samaxwebhu acociweyo kumzi-mveliso wamagqwetha wasePanama owalungiselela iindawo zokurhafisa, kwaye mhlawumbi nemali ngokungekho semthethweni, kuba isityebi sehlabathi siquka ulwazi oluninzi malunga nendlela abantu abakhethekileyo baseRussia ababufihla ngayo ubutyebi babo obufunyenwe kakubi.
Phantse ilahlekile phakathi kwezityhilelo ezininzi kukuba eyona bhanki inkulu yaseRussia isebenzisa Iqela lePodesta njenge-lobbyist yayo eWashington, DC Nangona ingelilo igama lekhaya, le femu iyaziwa ngaphakathi kweBeltway, ubuncinci kuba i-CEO yayo nguTony Podesta, ongomnye weDemocratic machers elizweni. Waseka inkampani ngo-1998 kunye nomntakwabo uJohn, owayesakuba yintloko yabasebenzi kuMongameli uBill Clinton, owayengumcebisi ku-Mongameli u-Barack Obama, uMnu. Abangaphandle babandakanyeka kwiiPodestas kunye nefemu yabo yokunxibelelana kakuhle yokuphucula umfanekiso wabo kunye nokufikelela kubakhulu beDemokhrasi.
Yeyiphi kanye le nto Ibhanki , Elona ziko likhulu lemali laseRussia, lenze le ntwasahlobo. Njengoko ixelwe Ekupheleni kuka-Matshi, iqela lePodesta libhaliswe kuRhulumente wase-US njenge-lobbyist ye-Sberbank, njengoko kufunwa ngumthetho, ibiza ezintathuAbasebenzi beqela lePodesta: UTony Podesta kunyeUStephen Rademaker noDavid Adams, abo babesakuba ngoonobhala abancedisayo bakarhulumente. Kufuneka iqatshelwe into yokuba uTony Podesta ngumrhubi-mali omkhulu wephulo lika-Hillary Clinton lobongameli ngelixa umntakwabo uJohn engusihlalo weli phulo, umakhi oyintloko wezicwangciso zakhe zokuthatha i-White House kulo-Novemba.
I-Sberbank (i-Savings Bank nge-Russian) ibandakanye neqela le-Podesta ukunceda umfanekiso wayo woluntu-ekhokhela amaziko ezemali aseMoscow angaziwa ngokuchanekileyo nangokuziphatha kakuhle-kwaye ngokukodwa ukunceda ukuphakamisa ezinye zezohlwayo ezibekwe eRussia emva komhla Ubundlongondlongo baseKremlin nxamnye neUkraine, obubangele iintlungu zokwenyani kwicandelo lezemali elinengxaki.
Akumangalisi ukuba iSberbank ifune uncedo lwabangeneleli beDemokhrasi njengeQela lePodesta ukubanceda kule yure inzima, kuba bayayiqonda kakuhle indlela ezisebenza ngayo ezopolitiko zaseMelika. Umbuzo ngowokuba kutheni iPodesta Group ithathe imali kaSberbank.Eli ziko lemali alifihli ngqo kwizithunzi-yeyona bhanki inkulu eRashiya, kwaye igama lalo lishiya lithandeka kakhulu. Akukho mntu wayeqhelene nezemali zaseRussia owayemangalisiwe kukuba uSberbank afike kwiPhepha lePanama.
Kuba abazalwana bamiselwe imisebenzi ekumgangatho ophezulu kakhulu ukuba amaDemokhrasi aphumelela ngo-Novemba, ubudlelwane babo yinto abayifunayo-kunye no-Clinton-ekufuneka beyichazile.
Nangona i-Sberbank inemvelaphi yayo kwinkulungwane yeshumi elinesithoba, yazalwa ngokutsha emva kokuwa kweSoviet, kwaye ngo-1990 yakhula yaba yeyona bhanki iphambili elizweni, namhlanje ilawula phantse iipesenti ezingama-30 zee-asethi zebhanki zaseRussia kwaye isebenzisa ikota yesigidi abantu. Esona sitokhwe sikhulu eSberbank yiBhanki eNkulu yaseRussia. Ngamanye amagama, iSberbank isebenza ngengalo yeKremlin, nangona iziko labucala.
Ngokuqinisekileyo ubukrelekrele baseNtshona uqhelene kakuhle neSberbank, ephawula ubudlelwane bayo obusondeleyo noVladimir Putin nolawulo lwakhe. Iimali ezihamba nge-Sberbank zihlala zisetyenziselwa ukuxhasa imisebenzi yobukrelekrele yaseRussia, ngelixa i-bhanki isebenzisa iiofisi zayo phesheya njengesigqubuthelo seNkonzo yase-Russia Yezangaphandle okanye ye-SVR. Igosa lobukrelekrele le-NATO licacisile ukuba i-Sberbank, ene-outpost kumaqela angaphandle kwamazwe angaphandle amabini, isebenza njengoluhlobo lwe-SVR ngaphandle kwe-Russia, ngakumbi kuba uninzi lwabasebenzi bayo abaphezulu bangamagosa obukrelekrele 'bangaphambili' base Russia. Ngaphakathi kweli lizwe, i-Sberbank inobudlelwane obufanayo ngokulinganayo kunye ne-Federal Security Service okanye i-FSB, iarhente yezobuntlola yasekhaya yaseRussia.
I-Ukraine ikhombe ngomnwe e-Sberbank njengesixhobo sobundlobongela baseRussia kwilizwe labo. Ngo-2014, i-Ukraine Security Service ityala I-Sberbank ngokuxhasa abanqolobi ngemali, iqaphela ukuba amasebe ayo ahambisa izigidi zeedola ngoncedo olungekho semthethweni kuma-separatists axhaswe yiRussia alwa kwimpuma ye-Ukraine. Isiphetho sikaKyiv, sokuba iSberbank ngumxhasi we-witing waseRussia ngokuchasene ne-Ukraine, ixhaswa ngokubanzi ngobukrelekrele baseNtshona. I-Sberbank yiKremlin, akukho nto bayenzayo ngaphandle kukaPutin, kwaye abamxeleli nokuba 'hayi', ucacisile igosa eliphezulu lezobuntlola lase-US elidla umhlala-phantsi elinamava amaninzi eMpuma Yurophu.
Ukongeza, ubukrelekrele baseUkraine ityholwa ukuba i-FSB isebenzisane ne-Sberbank kwibhombu yamasebe amabini ebhanki e-Kyiv, kwikomkhulu lase-Ukraine, ngoJuni 2015. Olu hlaselo aluzange lubangele monakalo kodwa eyona ngxelo kwimithombo yeendaba yaseRussia njengobungqina bokungazinzi kweUkraine kunye nobundlobongela obuchasene neRussia. Nangona uluvo lokuba iintlola zaseRussia ziya kutyala iibhombu njengokucaphukisa, zithini izinto ezenziwa yiKremlin ukucaphukisa , isenokuvakala ingaqhelekanga kwabo bangazani nobugqwetha, eneneni iintlola zaseRussia bezisenza izinto ezinjalo ukusukela kumaxesha obukumkani. Oko ndikubizile ubunqolobi bobuxoki sisakhono esisekude seKremlin, kwaye inokutsalwa kuphela ngenkxaso yokuhamba, kubandakanya nemali.
Ukuqikelela, iSberbank inayo iqhawulwe Ukutyhilwa kwePanama Papers njengengenasiphumo, kodwa inyani yokuba bayingalo yeKremlin kwaye benza izinto ezininzi ezinomthunzi kumazwe amaninzi yinto erekhodiweyo. Njengokuba inyani yokuba iqela lePodesta lilungu labo lobbyist eMelika.
Phakathi kwenkxaso-mali yaseSberbank ethi iPodesta Group nayo imele iCayman Islands-based Troika Dialog Group Limited, iSipro esekwe eSBGB Cyprus Limited, kunye neLuxux-based SB International. Njengoko ixelwe kule veki yiProjekthi yokuXelwa koLwaphulo-mthetho noRhwaphilizo, umanyano lweentatheli eziphonononga ukuvuza kwePanama Papers, iSberbank kunye neTroika Dialog zisetyenziswa ngamalungu esangqa sikaMnu Putin ukutshintsha imali yoluntu kutyalo-mali lwabucala ngamanye amaxesha. Ngamanye amagama, le yeyona nqanaba liphezulu lokuxhaphaza imali yohlobo lobhedu. Njengoko i-OCCRP isitsho ngokucacileyo, Ezinye zeenkampani zazidityaniswe kwingxowa mali yeTroika Dialog, eyayilawulwa kwaye iqhutywa yiSberbank emva kokuba ibhanki ithenge ibhanki yotyalo-mali yeTroika Dialog. ITroika kunye neSberbank bayalile ukunika izimvo.
Ukongeza kwisithunzi sayo yonke le nto, iqela lePodesta lidlala kunye ne-charade efanelekileyo yokuba iSberbank liziko labucala lezemali, endaweni yebhanki yaseburhulumenteni, kuba oko kuya kufuna ukuba ii-lobbyists zibhalise njengabameli baseRussia. urhulumente phantsi koMthetho woBhaliso lwaBameli baNgaphandle.
UJohn noTony Podesta abakhohlisi nabani na ngeli qhinga. Bangabaphembeleli bebhanki ekhethwe nguVladimir Putin, ingalo yeKremlin yakhe kunye neenkonzo zayo zobuntlola. Kuba abazalwana bakaPodesta bamiselwe ukuba benze imisebenzi ekumgangatho ophezulu kakhulu e-White House ngoJanuwari ozayo ukuba iiDemokhrasi ziphumelela ngo-Novemba kwiindawo zokuvota, ubudlelwane babo noSberbank yinto bona kunye noHillary Clinton-ekufuneka beyichazile eluntwini.
UKULUNGISA : Uhlobo lwangaphambili lweli bali belubhekise ngokungagungqiyo kwiqela lePodesta nakumzalwana kaPodesta obhalise ifemu abayisekeleyo njengelungelo lokungenisa izinto kwiSberbank. UMqwalaseli uyazisola ngeempazamo.
