    Rosneft Funded Kremlin-Linked Money Laundering Network

    Rosneft, a Russian state-owned oil company, has reportedly transferred over $2 billion to a Kremlin-linked payment company called A7. This funding helped A7 facilitate imports into Russia, including supplies for the war in Ukraine, circumventing international sanctions.
