Latvian government says it flagged `suspicious' Hunter Biden payments in 2016
John Solomon Reports ^ | December 17, 2019 | John Solomon

Posted on 12/17/2019 6:13:22 AM PST by Cboldt

As the U.S. presidential race began roaring to life in 2016, authorities in the former Soviet republic of Latvia flagged a series of " suspicious" financial transactions to Hunter Biden and other colleagues at a Ukrainian natural gas company and sought Kiev's help investigating, according to documents and interviews.

The Feb. 18, 2016 alert to Ukraine came from the Latvian prosecutorial agency responsible for investigating money laundering, and it specifically questioned whether Vice President Joe Biden's younger son and three other officials at Burisma Holdings were the potential beneficiaries of suspect funds.

"The Office for Prevention of Laundering of Proceeds Derived from Criminal Activity ... is currently investigating suspicious activity of Burisma Holdings Limited," the Latvian agency also known as the FIU wrote Ukraine's financial authorities.

The memo was released to me by the Ukrainian General Prosecutor's Office and confirmed by the Latvian embassy to the United States.

Latvian authorities said they did not get any incriminating information back from Ukraine to warrant further investigation and did not take additional action in 2016.

But the memo adds to the mounting evidence that there was ongoing investigative activity surrounding Burisma Holdings and Hunter Biden's compensation as a board member in the weeks just before Joe Biden forced the firing of the Ukraine prosecutor overseeing the Burisma investigation in spring 2016.

Apparently, the US version says “Promotion” instead of “Prevention”.

“I really hope they nominate Biden.”

I don’t. Biden is swamp. I want Bernie in there.

Biden will never get elected. Read the top part of the article for this thread. If this is the stuff that is coming out now about Biden, I can’t imagine how good the October surprises will be.

Practically every politician in DC is getting a payback from some company or government for financial aid or a fat contract. They may not be getting the money directly, but their spouses, close friends, and children are getting positions on boards in companies they have no experience or knowledge in, no-show “jobs”, sweetheart grants to their “research” (you don’t really believe the government gave $300,000 to study the mating life of stink bugs, do you?), and “donations” to their “charity”.

Biden Jr.’s corrupt gig was apparently legal. Now he may have tax and money launder illegalities but the GOP will never gather those facts and Rudy doesn’t have the power to.

Biden’s son getting paid for something he is unqualified for is indeed not illegal.

Money laundering schemes are. International money laundering is worse. The more the details come out, the worse it looks for Dad.

Yes, and that it’s already been debunked.

Media embargoes and Biden knows nobody will Investigate.

“...without the drama of Biden Jr. taking the 5th under the bright lights of a Senate hearing none of this is going anywhere....”

Do you think that if young Biden is indicted by the Ukrainians and forced to stand trial there, it would cripple his father’s political ambitions?

I trust that if Solomon reports it...it is GOLD.
This guy is thorough and deserves a Pulitzer for all he is uncovering. He’s one of the few, if not the only, Journalist that I actually respect.

PS- Latvians trying to fix their upcoming election by bullying the Ukraine to investigate a Biden!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

soloman’s piece dove tails almost perfectly with OAN’s Investigative 3 part series featuring Rudy & Chanel Rion as far as the Lativian corruption bureau reporting money laundering violations of burisma/humper biden to NABU (the George Kent drafter/Soros sponsored) Ukrainian corruption bureau)............

Rudy’s Part III reported that US embassy connections in NABU threw the anchor out on the Lativian accusation of Burisma/humper for money laundering.

stay tuned..........more information will be coming Wednesday when Rudy testifys to Lindsey????

while what humper did for burisma or china may not be illegal in the USA, it was reported on the OAN piece that humper biden was being investigated in Uke for violation of their laws.

may have something to do with NABU halting investigation on burisma money laundering??

could he be extradited??

we’ll see
