On Thursday, Democrats will begin their quest to secure the president’s long-suppressed tax returns. Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, warned the acting attorney general, Matthew G. Whitaker, on Wednesday that he could not avoid Democratic questioning.

Feb 02, 9:38 PM EST Newsletter Signup BusinessTechnologyWorldNationalMedia & CultureOpinionSportsLuxury National By Bobby Ilich 12/23/18 AT 6:02 PM Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the presumed incoming chair of the House Intelligence Committee, is looking into investigating President Donald Trump's business records with Deutsche Bank, recently telling Jeffrey Toobin of the New Yorker that there might be potential money laundering charges.“We are going to be looking at the issue of possible money laundering by the Trump Organization, and Deutsche Bank is one obvious place to start,” Schiff told Toobin.The German multinational bank has been the subject of much controversy over the years.

EU takes step to boost monitoring of money laundering at banks
By Francesco GuarascioBRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union governments have reached a preliminary deal to clamp down on money laundering by strengthening bank supervision through the European Banking Authority (EBA), the EU said on Wednesday.gi The EU has been beset by money-laundering scandals this year, including probes into 200 billion euros (180.88 billion pounds) of payments made through Danske Bank's <DANSKE.CO> Estonian branch, the collapse of Latvia's ABLV Bank and the closure of Malta's Pilatus Bank.The reform was rolled out by the EU Commission in September after cases of alleged money laundering at some EU banks that "raised concerns that anti-money laundering rules are not always supervised and enforced effectively across the EU," an EU statement said.Under the agreed text, the EBA would be able to directly force individual banks to take measures against money laundering "as a last resort" if national authorities do not act. The text, backed by diplomats from the 28 EU … [Read more...] about EU takes step to boost monitoring of money laundering at banks

By Davide Barbuscia DUBAI (Reuters) - Kuwait's prosecutors have asked Dubai to release $500 million (£385.2 million) in funds belonging to a Kuwaiti private equity fund that were frozen as part of a money laundering investigation, according to a letter seen by Reuters. The funds, held at a Dubai-based bank, were frozen at the behest of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) central bank in November 2017, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter and legal documents and correspondence between parties involved in the case reviewed by Reuters. According to a senior UAE official, the probe, which has not been previously reported, was undertaken by Dubai authorities to determine if funds sent from a bank in the Philippines to the Kuwaiti private equity fund's account in Dubai constituted money laundering. The probe comes as the UAE tightens financial regulations to fight a perception among some foreign investors that it is a hot spot for illicit money flows owing to its … [Read more...] about Exclusive: Kuwait asks Dubai to release funds frozen in money laundering probe
