Nyt alkoi isoja päitä putoilemaan, kun ent. IMF:n pääjohtaja Rodrigo Rato sai 4 vuoden vankeustuomion Espanjassa.
Rato oli vinguttanut IMF:n luottokorteilla toimiessaan Caja Madridin pankissa peräti 12 000 000 euroa omin päin vuosien 2003 ja 2012 välisenä aikana.
Saton lisäksi pankkiireja pidätettiin 64 muuta konnaa hänen lisäkseen.
Tapaus on saanut nyt Espanjassa aikaan suuren skandaalin ja espanjalaiset ovat tapauksesta raivoissaan.
Rato toimi myös ennen Espanjan hallituksen valtionvarainministerinä.
Tapaus pistää miettimään sen, että minkähänlaiset edut ovat Suomen valtionvarainministerillä ?
Kun jo tavallisten suomalaisten pankkien johdossa toimivat henkilöt voivat käyttää Euroopan Keskuspankin luottokortteja salaisesti omissa kokoontumisissaan, joissa toimii useita vapaamuurareja.
Tämä pankkiirien linnatuomioiden aalto saa pankkiteollisuuden näyttämään yhä epärehellisemmältä ja suosittelisin että jokainen joka haluaa oikeasti pitää rahoistaan huolta, niin ottaa ne ulos pankista. Koska pankeissa rahat eivät ole koskaan turvassa, koska pankit pelaavat aina asiakkaiden rahoilla mm. pörssissä asiakkaiden sitä tietämättä ja tälle on jopa sijoituspankkialalla aivan oma terminsä.
Suomessakin on ollut tapauksia, joissa mm. Danske Bankin työntekijän epäiltiin kavaltaneen asiakkaiden rahoja väärentämällä pankin luottoasiakirjoja.
Mutta tämä ei ole pankkialalla poikkeus, koska se on siellä sääntö. Sillä pankit tekevät jatkuvasti sitä, että luovat rahaa tyhjästä ilmasta velkaa vastaan ja nämä rahat tulevat pankkeihin New Yorkilla sijaitsevan Wall Streetin yksityisomisteisista sijoituspankeista.

reports: The people of Spain were outraged over the scandal as it was
discovered during the height of a severe financial crisis in which banks
were receiving millions in taxpayer dollars. Bankia was eventually
nationalized and given €22 billion in public money.
Although he was sentenced, Rato, who is also a former Spanish economy
minister, remains free pending a possible appeal because of his highly
connected elite status.
Rato was brought down in a massive effort by Spain to get rid of
corruption within the banking system. The problem had gotten so bad that
Spain decided to clean house, and 65 people, including Rato, were
brought to task.
According to the AP, they were accused of having paid for personal
expenses with credit cards put at their disposal by both Caja Madrid and
Bankia, without ever justifying them or declaring them to tax
authorities. These expenses included petrol for their cars, supermarket
shopping, holidays, luxury bags and parties in nightclubs.
According to the indictment, Rato maintained the “corrupt system”
established by his predecessor Miguel Blesa when he took the reins of
Caja Madrid in 2010, reports the AFP. He then replicated the system when
he took charge of Bankia, a group born in 2011 out of the merger of
Caja Madrid with six other savings banks, prosecutors said.
According to the report:
Rato was economy minister and deputy prime minister in the conservative
government of Jose Maria Aznar from 1996 to 2004, before going on to
head up the IMF until 2007. His subsequent career as a banker was
short-lived — from 2010 to 2012 — but apart from the credit cards case,
it also led to another banking scandal considered the country’s biggest
ever.
Thousands of small-scale investors lost their money after they were
persuaded to convert their savings to shares ahead of the flotation of
Bankia in 2011, with Rato at the reins. Less than a year later, he
resigned as it became known that Bankia was in dire straits.

The state injected billions of euros but faced with the scale of
Bankia’s losses and trouble at other banks, it asked the EU for a
bailout for the banking sector and eventually received €41bn.
Rato and others were probed, accused of misleading small investors in
the listing of Bankia, which has since paid out €1.2bn in compensation.
To highlight the utter corruption within the banking cartel that is the
IMF, Rato is the third former chief to be ousted for illegal activity.
For those who don’t remember, Rato’s successor, Dominique Strauss-Kahn,
was tried in 2015 on pimping charges in a lurid sex scandal. Naturally,
he was acquitted — in spite of the fact that he admitted to engaging in
illicit sex with prostitutes at a series of orgies that supposedly took
place at the Hotel Carlton in the northern French city of Lille. The
court sided with DSK and agreed that he had no idea the women he
repeatedly filled the orgies with were being paid.
Christine Lagarde, who took over from Strauss-Kahn and is the current
IMF chief, was found guilty in December of “negligence” for approving a
massive government payout to business tycoon Bernard Tapie during her
tenure as French finance minister.
Despite being found guilty of corruption, Lagarde was not sentenced to a
single day in jail. She has since been meeting with Trump’s Goldman
Sachs-connected Treasury Secretary, Steve
