Putin’s cellist pal moved millions through Swiss bank accounts FMTNews FMTWorld
ZURICH: A concert cellist linked to Russian president Vladimir Putin moved millions of francs through Swiss bank accounts without any proper checks, Swiss prosecutors will allege today at the opening of a trial of four bankers accused of helping him.
Prosecutors allege they failed to do enough to determine the identity of the beneficial owner of the funds, according to the indictment seen by Reuters. At the time, the musician told the New York Time that he was certainly not a businessman and did not himself own millions, according to the indictment.
Putin has in the past said that Roldugin is a friend, a brilliant musician and benefactor who has honestly earned some money from a minority stake in a Russian company. “At the time of the opening of the account it was reported in various articles …. that Sergey Roldugin was a close friend of the Russian president Vladimir Putin and godfather of his daughter,” the indictment said.
