The International Investment Bank (MBI), which is controlled by Russian President Vladimir Putin, planned to enter Poland via the “back door,” Wprost weekly has revealed. The weekly participated in an international investigation into the bank’s operations.
MBI was founded in 1970 by the USSR, but other countries of the socialist bloc, including Poland, also had their shares in it. MBI suspended operations after the collapse of the Soviet Union; however, it was resurrected by Putin in 2012, probably mainly so that Russian oligarchs could keep their money there.
