hvitvaskningen foregår i tilknytning til vestlige banker, og at for hver dollar som
tjenes på narkotikamarkedet i USA, går to-tredeler til disse bankene 506 .
Dette er penger våre banker er så og si avhengige av å få fatt i, for de kan
i dagens verden vanskelig overleve uten. Våre største banker er intet unntak,
og James Casbolt forteller her om hvordan det foregår i England:
“In Britain, the MI6 drug money is laundered through the Bank of England, Barclays
Bank and other household name companies. The drug money is passed from account
to account until its origins are lost in a huge web of transactions. The drug money
comes out ‘cleaner’ but not totally clean. Diamonds are then bought with this money
from the corrupt diamond business families like the Oppenheimers. These diamonds
are then sold and the drug money is clean.“ 507
Det samme er situasjonen i USA, hvor Citibank (om Citibank) 508 , Chase,
og Bank of America ikke mindre skyldige 509 .
De største hvitvaskerne er allikevel de største bankene, hvilket vil si
sentralbankene. Dette faktum er ett som som etterforskeren Robert Mazur
også ble klar over da Akbar Bilgrami, BCCIs Miami-representant med ansvar for
Latin Amerika, fortalte han følgende:
”The Federal Reserve Bank *is the biggest money launderer in the U.S.]. They are such
hypocrites! They know that the Bank of the Republic in Bogotá has a teller window
known as ‘the sinister window.’ Under Colombian rule, any citizen who has huge piles
of cash can come to that window and anonymously exchange their U.S. dollars for
Colombian pesos —no questions asked. This causes the central bank to accumulate
palletloads of U.S. dollars that are shipped to the Federal Reseve and credited to the
account of the Bank of the Republic — again no questions asked.
The people at the Federal Reserve aren’t idiots. They see this river of hundreds of
millions in U.S. dollars being shipped to them from Colombia. They know what
generates that cash. That’s drug money that has been smuggled from the U.S. and
Europe to Colombia. The Federal Reserve takes that because it’s good economics for
this country’s banking system. The Americans so-called War on Drugs is a sham.” 510
Mazur fant senere ut at det stemte, og Al Martin nevner i boken sin
dette, som passer godt med hva Bilgrami fortalte Mazur:
