Danske Bank Pleads Guilty to Fraud on U.S. Banks in a Multi-Billion Dollar Scheme to Access the U.S. Financial System.
Largest Bank in Denmark Agrees to Forfeit $2 Billion.
Danske Bank A/S (Danske Bank), a global financial institution headquartered in Denmark, pleaded guilty today and agreed to forfeit $2 billion to resolve the United States’ investigation into Danske Bank’s fraud on U.S. banks.
According to court documents, Danske Bank defrauded U.S. banks regarding Danske Bank Estonia’s customers and anti-money laundering controls to facilitate access to the U.S. financial system for Danske Bank Estonia’s high-risk customers, who resided outside of Estonia – including in Russia. The Justice Department will credit nearly $850 million in payments that Danske Bank makes to resolve related parallel investigations by other domestic and foreign authorities. Continues further down.

JOURNALISM
Media freedom in Europe and the US has seriously declined
European Parliament is deeply concerned about the state of media freedom within the EU and denounces the violence, harassment and pressure faced by journalists.
European MEPs see a “growing pattern of intimidation aimed at silencing journalists”, citing the murders of Daphne Caruana Galizia and Ján Kuciak and his fiancée as examples of the risks faced by investigative journalists. They call on public figures to refrain from denigrating journalists and insist on the legal obligation to investigate all attacks, highlighting that female journalists are especially vulnerable and should be given additional protection

Hi Michael,
I was in Oslo a week ago, we met and went to Aker pier. From there we walked towards the right side of City Hall before parting on the corner at Crown Princess Martha's Square. We also talked about the police harassment of me. I remember you saying I was going to be killed, and you said that seriously. I did not say anything about this. And in that connection, I want to hear from you if this statement is based on tips you have received, or if it was an assessment that you made yourself on your own basis, after an overall assessment. Can you please say something about this, thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Harald

THE MURDER OF DAPHNE

Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese writer, blogger, and anti-corruption activist, who reported on political events in Malta. On 16 October 2017, Caruana Galizia was murdered close to her home when a car bomb was detonated inside her vehicle attracting widespread local and international condemnation of the attack.
In a resolution adopted with 553 votes to 54 and 89 abstentions, Parliament points to “attempts by governments of some member states to silence critical and independent media and undermine media freedom and pluralism”. MEPs are particularly concerned about the state of public service media in some EU countries, where they have become an “example of pro-government propaganda”.
They stress that media freedom, pluralism, independence, and the safety of journalists are crucial components of the right to freedom of expression and information and are essential to the democratic functioning of the EU.
“Freedom of the media has been deteriorating in recent years”, warns the text, and the COVID-19 outbreak has exacerbated this deteriorat-ion.
THE MURDER OF MICHAEL

Who Killed Michael Hastings? Michael Hastings was driving a 2013 Mercedes C250 coupe when he crashed into a tree on Highland Ave. in Los Angeles at approximately 4:30 am on June 18. Video posted online showed the car in flames, and one neighbor told a local news crew she heard a sound like an explosion. Another eyewitness said the car’s engine had been thrown 50 to 60 yards from the car. There were no other vehicles involved in the accident.
The fire was so all-consuming that it took the Los Angeles County coroner’s office two days to identify Hastings’ body, but Clarke said a cyber attack on the vehicle would have been nearly impossible to trace “even if the dozen or so computers on board hadn’t melted.” Hastings practiced a brand of no-holds-barred journalism that tended to anger powerful people. His 2010 profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, published in Rolling Stone, was so damaging that it ostensibly prompted President Barack Obama to fire the general (the president denied that the article had a role in his decision).
In the days before his death, Hastings was reportedly working on a story about a lawsuit filed by Jill Kelley, who was involved in the scandal that brought down Gen. David Petraeus, according to the LA Times. KTLA reported that Hastings told colleagues at the news site BuzzFeed that he feared the FBI was investigating him. On June 20, the FBI denied that any investigation was under way.
