Bank of Latvia approves license for "Moneliq Europe" even after "BTCBIT" faced penalties, highlighting Yevgeny Podberezsky’s financial operations

The Bank of Latvia has issued a licence to establish an electronic money institution (EMI) to SIA Moneliq Europe.

The company is owned by Dubai-based crypto-prince Yevgeny Podberezsky, a student of the notorious swindler Dmitry Chelebiy (recently spotted in Latvia building a yacht for a toxic oligarch).

The Bank of Latvia ignored publicly available information about BTCBIT Sp. z oo, a company fined by the Polish Ministry of Finance for serious AML violations (failure to report suspicious transactions to financial intelligence units). Since the Latvian company is wholly owned by Podberezsky, this raises legitimate questions about corruption.

A financial octopus from the UAE has built an ideal infrastructure in Latvia for the transit of capital of dubious origin, and the central bank has obligingly given this enterprise a ticket to life.

In the meantime, Kristina Jelinska (Kiki) is waiting for her Lambo.
