The Kremlin dismissed allegations that billions of dollars were laundered through the former Russian investment bank Troika Dialog, saying there was nothing new in reports by a network of investigative journalists.
“This investigation is very confusing and some episodes mentioned in it are quite old,” President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters Monday on a conference call, in the first Kremlin comments on the claims. Some allegations are untrue or presented in a distorted way and the reports “contain nothing particularly novel,” he said.
