The SARS flagged subjects, including organisations and individuals, in more than 170 countries, and were obtained and shared by BuzzFeed.
It was the link with Atiku that triggered a suspicious activity alert through HBNLY’s transaction monitoring system.With Mr Atiku as the beneficial owner, GTCN is a trust corporation incorporated in Nigeria in 2003, to hold his 16 per cent stake in Intels Nigeria Limited, Nigeria’s oil and gas logistics giant. This entity has been locked in a business battle with the Nigerian Ports Authority in the past years.
“HBLNY’s review of public sources revealed that there have been numerous investigations of Mr Abubakar, as senior Politically Exposed Person , linking him to corruption allegations, possible Foreign Corrupt Practices Act foreign violations and money laundering.”GTCN alongside other companies linked to Atiku and Mr Volpi.
The transactions identified in the US Senate report were made while Atiku held office as Nigeria’s number two. The flagged 2012 wire transfers to Dubai triggered a further investigation, which revealed that GTCN had channelled several other transactions since May 2005, while Atiku was still Nigeria’s vice-president, to an account the company held with Habib Allied International Bank London, from multiple accounts held in Switzerland.
Mr Osagie is facing trial in Nigeria for a certain $2 million, which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,suspects might have been budgeted for vote-buying during the 2019 election, which Atiku contested and lost.
This news only come up during election.

You have told us about Peter Obi and now you're telling us about Atiku, though Obi's own is lie because he has cleared the air before now. Can you please tell Nigerians about Tinubu also

Alhaji atiku will pretend he did not see this report now, AKWAI ALLAH

kayode_william temigracee has anyone of you read this story?
A well known ole
Everywhere is quite because it wasn't the families of Buhari, Elrufai, etc.
This is who PDP wants to force on Nigerians as the next president, well we're waiting for you guys.
Chai... They have started.
Obasanjo as the grandfather of CORRUPTION know every member of his family! He described Atiku Abubakar's high level of looting: placing this thief under international banking surveillance now is late BUT it's a GOOD move! Atiku is a SOPHISTICATED & advanced LOOTER! Catch him!
Dear ChidiOdinkalu, henryshield
Thieves and the children of thieves won’t see this news or reasons why this man can’t rule this country. They are all ok with Nigeria downfall since that is where they benefit from. Bunch of stupid people
They are mad ,,, why didn't they arrest him when he was on US soil prior to election..now he lost out and they now are ready to expose him...ifbhe had become Nigeria president now ..we would have been held hostage by The USA with the amount of dirt they will have on our president
I have to read this over and over thinking may be i did not get the record straight, but found out , it’s just a mere write up aiming 2023 election. Atikukawai By God grace....
I am not surprised
To make Nigeria great again...We need this judgment for corrupt politicians....
Same person EFCC refused to open his files.
Here are the....
Those children of perdition are not on this mention, let it be AsiwajuTinubu we would be hearing bullion van but they're silent because they still want to sponsored his candidature in 2023.
This is the man y'all want to be Nigeria's President? God forbid, he mustn't smell Aso Rock as President.
Would love to see FinCEN files sorted by country. Nigeria will be shocked at the people involved. Trust my kontiri people 👀
Even if Obasanjo decided to rewrite and repaint atiku for all the reasons and excuses , its obvious Corruption is inseparable from that name. Seem less combo.
🤔 🤔 🤔 😔 😔 Another one for them.
Crooked Atiku 🤧
Noted!
HERE COMES YOUR HEROS!!!!!!!
Fake news
Many youths are lazy, they just comment without reading the article... Open and read before you comment.
THIS IS AN OLD ISSUE AND WHO IS SPONSORING THIS NONSENSE NOW?
Who appointed the USA as the morality and/or democracy police of the world? Last week, it was visa ban for electoral offences. Today, folks are being placed under international financial surveillance. Next week, the USA will freeze someone's bank account!!!
I read the news fully, there is nothing in it except 2019 comments from opposition party. you can do better than this, using wrong caption to attract readers.
It's best to hand over the treasury of 🇳🇬 to him. He will manage it well and every home will be collecting 1,000 USD daily. I know Atiku very well, he is the best for this nation. My igbo brothers also are aware of this. 🕊
'Adimeru' ...again ?
This is the man many thieves are yearning for to lead us to Egypt again ! NEVER
APC trying every means to implicate Atiku by involving US but they will fail. After NyesomWlKE in Edo, it is now Atiku. AtikuKawai2023 is giving them sleepless night.
Stale gist!!
Better tag that Baba onirugbon
Are you serious..... I thought he is a saint....and my Igbo brothers are solidly behind him....how can...una show say una look well....
'Atiku got president '.. 😂😂😂😂😂💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️
'..rare insight' 🥴. If you know, you know.
With this records some foolish Nigerians though on Atiku payroll atiku still going about with Atikukwai2023. Nigerians knows his records to be international thief. He should just retired just like IBB and be enjoying his stolen funds
Ole ni baba na
atiku see your life
The replies are a perfect analogy of Nigeria's reading culture --- very few people know how to read
MatthewTPage And I'm not surprised that MatthewTPage is helping spread this propaganda. Back to his role in helping foist Buhari on Nigerians, yeah?! We still remember how you helped 'validate' anti-GEJ propaganda.
Atikulooted!😂
Where were this reports when TheAtikuChallenge trended? There's nothing to this report that is new. Read this news report and you'd see the dates were all before 2019. Yet, this same man was in DC in the US not long ago. Abeg, AtikuKawai2023 ojare!
Why? No bi dem allow Atiku visit America in 2019 interfering with our elections.
MatthewTPage 'The generation of a SAR does not in itself constitute proof of any wrongdoing' -- Yet this is your headline?
MatthewTPage Are they just starting to keep him under surveillance or what's all this drama about? They didn't place him under surveillance when he was newly out of office and under accusation in the US? Looks like someone is just looking for noise to make.
Any one that is into international business and finance related dealings will know USA global financial surveillance and reports are a case of 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Anyway, more than this was said before last election and the man still went to USA. Even UBA had USA issue.
See your presidential candidate that you OfficialPDPNig worship and believe is the solution to Nigeria problem.
A thief is always a thief
$2tn in cash? Ok nah
OSINBAJO/ZULUM 2023
kakra68 What took them this long to see what the whole WORLD knew ?......Money Changing hands with American SENATOR & REPRESENTATIVE !

Some of the idiots still worship the Barawo 🥵
atiku haha edon happen
Vospeaks For info uwem67
atiku come oooo😂😂😂😂 Come and answer your corrupt name o
Some folks still sees atiku as someone who would recuse Nigeria, not knowing he'll create more problems than jobs. 99% of ibos still wants pdp and atiku, they ain't thinking of Nigeria future but their biafra nation. They are being fool and fooled.
thank God it is not elrufa'i..or Tinubu...so I did not see the comments of devil deji,FFK,Reno omokri....
And he wants to led the country and “clean up corruption”..🙄 what a joke
atiku call me.
The files included a large number of suspicious-activity reports, SARs, filed by banks and other financial institutions to the US Government as required by the Bank Secrecy Act., with the total amount in suspicious transactions reported being $2 trillion ($2,099584,477,415.49).
Lol PDP see una life
This is the person some are still campaigning for to become president in 2023. Your favourite bishop campaigned for him in 2019 and might do same in 2023 if PDP picks him. IS THIS YOUR LEADER!!!.......
I have gone through the write up yet can't find or pin point where Atiku was involved, the people around him where called not him, I can sense 2023 build up and the media power to bring someone down playing AtikuKawai2023 we need to do something urgent olushola_shola come in
Not again please.
IsuphJt ishakaa
Interestingly.
