Another of the Cottrell accounts interests is the bank FBME, an entity which was officially based in Tanzania but had foreign offices in two countries: Cyprus and Russia.
The Cottrell account also listed the Russian banks VTB and Alfa Bank, which the FBI is investigating for links to the Trump organization, as well as Banca Privada dAndorra (BPA)which was described as a primary money laundering concern linked to Russian crime networks by the U.S. Treasury. BPA did not respond to queries about working with Cottrell.

(51,662 posts)4. Alfa bank is the bank the Steele Dossier talks about.
It is the bank that had a direct link to servers in Trump Tower. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/cover_story/2016/10/was_a_server_registered_to_the_trump_organization_communicating_with_russia.html Very shady.
The FBI is reportedly examining why Alfa bank, which has ties to Putin, wanted to reach the Trump Organization during the campaign. http://www.businessinsider.com/fbi-alfa-bank-trump-organization-servers-2017-3
