Bankers Convicted in Putin Money Laundering Case Over Swiss Accounts.
TL;DR
Four bankers from Gazprom's Swiss affiliate have been found guilty by a Zurich court of failing to properly check vast sums of money flowing through the accounts of Sergei Roldugin, a Russian cellist and close confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The bankers were found guilty of "lack of due diligence in financial transactions" moving through Roldugin's accounts. However, the court suspended the sentences for two years, meaning the bankers will not have to pay any fines unless they commit the same offense over that time period.
