This three-part series from NAFO Forum about Baltic Gold mentions exiled Latvian whistleblower John Christmas (government people in Latvia are still afraid to say his name 20 years after the whistleblowing which they are still using fraud to cover-up) and the creation of what became Vladimir Putin’s central money laundering system. In 1990, the year before Latvia became independent from the USSR, Valery Kargin (later President of Parex Bank) and Ivars Godmanis (later Prime Minister of Latvia) set up a framework for Parex Bank to control the Latvian government and economy.
