Read this, 'Ignatev' is not some conspiracy theorist, Sergey Ignatev was until his recent retirement the chairman of Russia's Central Bank. He's suggesting that Putin and his friends are looting the country and nobody's going to stop them.
************************************************** *****************
Ignatyev reports that total capital outflows from Russia were nearly $60 billion last year, and that illegal transmissions amounted to almost $50 billion. And then he threw this in: «Создается впечатление, что все они контролируются одной хорошо организованной группой лиц.» Translated: "It appears that the main body of the transfers was controlled by a single well-organized group of people." Russia is simply gushing cash from its veins, and a single enormous vampire is gorging at the bloody trough.
As Stefan Wagstyl of the Financial Times notes, nobody in Russia could fail to take Ignatyev's hint: there is simply no way that a single group of actors could make off with such enormous sums without the knowledge, and indeed without the complicity, of very high-ranking figures in the Russia Kremlin, if not the highest.
Charles Clover of the FT goes farther: he points out that the issues Ignatyev is raising are the same issues Sergei Magnitsky was working on before he was illegally arrested by the Kremlin, tortured, and killed in prison. Clover quotes Igor Yurgens, a former adviser to Dmitry Medvedev, stating that if what Mr. Ignatyev said about a "single organized group" is true, "such an operation would not be possible without serious support from law enforcement."
