Spaniard Roberto Fabio Monda Cardenas, due to the money transfer to the Corruption Fund, the organization was recognized as a foreign agent, could not explain its actions. It is reported by "Medusa".
In a conversation with the publication, whether he made two translations in favor of the FBC in September 2019, Monda confirmed that this is so. However, he found it difficult to answer why he did this, and could not even pronounce the name of the organization to which he transferred the money. Roberto Monda does not speak Russian, has never been to Russia, and, according to him, does not know anyone from Russia except a few girls in Spain.
At the same time, he said that he read about the FBK in the spring of 2019 in some media-which, he found it difficult to name-and "decided to help the fund with money." Monda said that he sent money personally through the CAIXA Bank in Madrid with two tranches. At first he wanted to make sure that the first tranche took place, and the money really reached. In response to the question of how his payment receipt could be at the disposal of the Russian channel REN-TV, after a long pause, Monda said that his phone could hack.
The publication notes that it is not clear how Monda could make sure that his first transfer of September 6 really reached the addressee, because the FBK account was arrested by the decision of the Basmanny Court in the “laundering case” on August 19. FBK Director Ivan Zhdanov told Medusa that they removed bank details from the site at the same time, in August.
On October 9, the Ministry of Justice included the FBK in the list of foreign agents due to the fact that the American company was allegedly financed by the American company Star-doors.com LLC and a certain Roberto Fabio Monda Cardenas from Spain. According to open sources, Star-doors.com is engaged in the USA in the United States, and the Spaniard Roberto Fabio Monda Cardenas sells cars.
On August 3, a criminal case was opened on laundering 1 billion rubles with a corruption fund. The lawyer of the Fund Alexei Molokodov then said the MBH Media that the information of the UK is “easily refuted”, and that “literally a couple of millions of rubles a year” passes through the fund. On August 8, the security forces conducted mass searches with FBK employees. Many of them, as well as at the fund itself, were arrested by bank accounts.
Soon it became known that the case of money laundering was initiated due to donations in bitcoins.
