Azerbaijani laundromat

The Azerbaijani laundromat is a complex money-laundering scheme revealed by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) in September 2017.[1][2] The investigations exposed that during two years between 2012 and 2014 about USD 2.9 billion was siphoned through European companies and banks.[3][4] The money was used to pay off European politicians in an attempt to whitewash Azerbaijan’s reputation abroad.[5][6][7][8]
