BCCI, 'the dirtiest bank in the world,' served CIA operations, drug cartels, and terrorists for two decades β€” documented evidence
🟒 CONFIRMED

The Bank of Credit and Commerce International operated for 19 years as what the Manhattan DA called 'the largest bank fraud in world financial history.' BCCI laundered money for Saddam Hussein, Manuel Noriega, the Medellin Cartel, and Abu Nidal's terrorist network. The CIA maintained 'several accounts' at BCCI and knew about its criminal operations by 1985 but failed to alert the appropriate regulators. The bank had 400+ branches in 78 countries and $20 billion in assets before its 1991 collapse.
