The Clinton Foundation probe may result in the exposure of foreign government officials and prestigious foundations, Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel suggested, speaking to Sputnik. It is probable that foreign entities were aware of the charity’s alleged fraud and even benefitted from it, he said, assuming that Donald Trump will reverse the trend.
A new FBI probe into the Clinton Foundation should send an alarming signal to foreign governments and individuals who have provided donations to the charity over the past two decades, Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist Charles Ortel told Sputnik.
“Numerous governments have sent substantial sums towards the Clinton Foundation; yet to date, the Clinton Foundation refuses to account publicly, as is required, for specifics concerning each government donation (state laws in New York and California require this for example),” Ortel stressed.
The analyst pointed out that “out of about $2.3 billion in total declared donations [to the Clinton Foundation] since 1997, a large non-governmental organization called UNITAID that is backed by France, the UK, Norway, Spain, South Korea and other governments as well as by the Gates Foundation has sent more than $600 million towards the HIV/AIDS fighting part of the Clinton Foundation that was never lawfully organized or operated.”
The investigative journalist emphasized that many other governments, such as Australia, Ireland, Norway, Saudi Arabia, and Sweden “have also sent large sums towards the Clinton Foundation but, so far, have failed to complain about boldly inaccurate accounting policies and evident defects in public disclosures.”
Why Foreign Gov’ts Turned a Blind Eye to Clinton Charity’s Alleged Fraud
In his previous interviews with Sputnik, the analyst, who has been conducting a private investigation into the Clinton charity’s alleged fraud, has repeatedly raised the question as to why foreign governments remain seemingly reluctant to expose the Foundation’s misdeeds.
“The numerous foreign governments that seem to be associated with Clinton ‘charities’ have behaved deplorably,” Ortel told Sputnik in August 2017, suggesting that they apparently realized that a thorough investigation into the matter could result in “acute embarrassment and even legal exposures for individuals and [foreign governments] involved.”
