‘BANKERS GAME’ DOCUMENTARY

 

    Many documentaries about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have been produced with an objective of raising awareness of atrocities, sometimes soliciting donations to help the Ukrainians. The ‘Bankers Game’ documentary is different, because it reveals a fraud racket taking place in the United Kingdom and European Union today which serves to protect money-laundering banks connected to the Putin Regime. It is an appeal to wake up British and European institutions of corruption at home which benefits the aggressors. This documentary has the potential to improve UK and EU finances and also shut Putin Regime money laundering channels inside Europe.

    ‘Bankers Game’ compares two similar bank collapses, cover-ups, and bailouts. The first example is in Italy where Deutsche Bank arranged opaque dealings with Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena and the perpetrators were prosecuted. The second example is in Latvia where the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ‘EBRD’ arranged opaque dealings with Parex Bank and Citadele Bank with nobody prosecuted. The cover-up in Latvia is still ongoing now in 2025.

    Interviews with current and former members of the Latvian Parliament and European Parliament reveal false accounting. Interviews with the Parex whistleblower filmed in London explore the challenge of giving evidence to a government which chooses cover-up instead of exposure. Plus viewer can see, visually, the connections with Putin’s oligarchs including original drone footage of a massive yacht and secluded villa in Italy.

    The founder of the Baltic Center of Visual Researches got a seat in European Parliament during the production of ‘Bankers Game’ which therefore ends with an appeal filmed in Brussels for the EBRD to stop protecting banks with connections to the Putin Regime.

    ‘Bankers Game’ was produced by John Christmas and Andrea Vrazhalska. Journalists were Evita Birzina of Latvia and Mauro Caterina of Italy. Camera work was done by Krists Spruksts, Kaspars Dvinskis, and Marcis Seners of Latvia and Diana Negri of Italy. Editing, sound, and assembling was done by the Baltic Center of Visual Researches.
