  • Tether’s new banking partner may be involved in money laundering in the Odebrecht scheme
    Brazilian law enforcement agencies have appealed to the authorities of the Bahamas to assist in the investigation of suspicious transactions of Deltec Bank & Trust, the new partner of the Tether Limited reports the O Globo.
    The Federal Prosecutor's Office of the State of São Paulo deals with the case of Paulo Vieira de Souza, the former director of the DERSA road construction company. De Souza is charged with taking bribes from the concern Odebrecht.
    It is assumed that the head of DERSA transferred about $ 25 million to the accounts of the Panamanian offshore company Nantes Group, which was serviced by a private Swiss bank Bordier & Cie. According to law enforcement, de Souza was the direct beneficiary of these accounts.
    However, investigators are convinced that the Panamanian company was not the last link in money laundering. In February 2017, these funds allegedly migrated to accounts in the Bahamian Deltec Bank & Trust.
    At the moment, the Brazilian prosecutor’s office is awaiting an official response from the Bahamas about whether de Souza’s money really lies in Deltec Bank & Trust accounts. It is also reported that countries already have experience in dealing with money laundering.
    Earlier, the chairman of the board of Deltec Bank & Trust, Jean Chalopin, confirmed the authenticity of the letter dated November 1 stating that at the end of the business day, October 31, Tether Limited had $ 1,831,322,828 in the bank account.
