detailing over 16,000 transactions between 2012 and 2014 were initially obtained through a leak by Berlingske Danish newspaper and then shared with their media partners. The analysed documents revealed a large number of obscure transactions indirectly linked to "influential persons" in <a href="/wiki/Azerbaijan" title="Azerbaijan">Azerbaijan</a> that mainly used four UK-based <a href="/wiki/Shell_corporation" title="Shell corporation">shell companies</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Danske_Bank" title="Danske Bank">Danske Bank</a> branch in <a href="/wiki/Estonia" title="Estonia">Estonia</a> to transfer millions to accounts of companies and individuals across the world.<a href="#cite_note-:1-29">[29]</a> The scheme allowed Azerbaijan's ruling elite to funnel out at least $2.9 billion to purportedly buy silence on human rights violations in Azerbaijan, promote Azeri government views and create a positive image of Azerbaijan abroad.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> This was Berlingske's first sizeable international cooperative investigation. It had a major impact in <a href="/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark">Denmark</a> due to Danske Bank's implication in the scheme, Danish Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Lars_L%C3%B8kke_Rasmussen" title="Lars Løkke Rasmussen">Lars Løkke Rasmussen</a> reacted to the stories publicly, telling Denmark's TV2: "It makes me sad and angry."<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Laundered_money">Laundered money</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Azerbaijani_laundromat&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Laundered money">edit</a>]</div> Almost half of the money ($1,452,918,429) came from an account held in the <a href="/wiki/International_Bank_of_Azerbaijan" title="International Bank of Azerbaijan">International Bank of Azerbaijan</a> (IBA) by a shell company linked to the <a href="/wiki/Ilham_Aliyev" title="Ilham Aliyev">Aliyev</a> family, $8.5 million came directly from government ministries and organisations such as the <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Defence_Industry_of_Azerbaijan" title="Ministry of Defence Industry of Azerbaijan">MODIAR</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Emergency_Situations_(Azerbaijan)" title="Ministry of Emergency Situations (Azerbaijan)">Ministry of Emergency Situations</a>, <a href="/wiki/Special_State_Protection_Service_of_Azerbaijan" title="Special State Protection Service of Azerbaijan">Special State Protection Service</a>. Some of the money came from companies with ties to the regime like <a href="/wiki/Baktelekom" class="mw-redirect" title="Baktelekom">Baktelekom</a> MMC, connected to former minister Goknur Baki, Azarbaycan Metanol Kompani, Arash Medical Production<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> and offshore entities. Another portion came from <a href="/wiki/Rosoboronexport" title="Rosoboronexport">Rosoboronexport</a> – a state-owned Russian arms exporter. The recipients also included prominent Azerbaijanis with government positions or connections, like the family of <a href="/wiki/Yaqub_Eyyubov" class="mw-redirect" title="Yaqub Eyyubov">Yaqub Eyyubov</a> – Azerbaijan's first deputy prime minister, <a href="/wiki/Ali_Naghiyev" title="Ali Naghiyev">Ali Nagiyev</a> – a government representative responsible for battling corruption and <a href="/wiki/Orkhan_Sultanov" title="Orkhan Sultanov">Orkhan Sultanov</a> – head of foreign intelligence of Azerbaijan.<a href="#cite_note-:1-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> The four <a href="/wiki/Front_organization" title="Front organization">front companies</a> at the centre of the scheme (Metastar Invest, Hilux Services, Polux Management and LCM Alliance) were all limited partnerships registered in the UK. Their corporate partners were anonymous <a href="/wiki/Tax_haven" title="Tax haven">tax haven</a> entities based in the <a href="/wiki/British_Virgin_Islands" title="British Virgin Islands">British Virgin Islands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Seychelles" title="Seychelles">Seychelles</a> and <a href="/wiki/Belize" title="Belize">Belize</a>. Danske Bank handled the accounts of all four laundromat companies, allowing the billions to pass through its Estonian branch without due investigation into the provenance of the funds.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> A majority of the payments went to shell companies in the UK. Large amounts also went to companies in the <a href="/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates" title="United Arab Emirates">UAE</a> and Turkey to accounts and companies that were also implicated in the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Laundromat" title="Russian Laundromat">Russian Laundromat</a> uncovered previously by the OCCRP, thus revealing a connection between the two money laundering schemes. Both "laundromats" (a term coined by OCCRP to refer to a vast money-laundering scheme) have used the same type of British-based <a href="/wiki/Limited_partnerships_in_England_and_Wales" title="Limited partnerships in England and Wales">limited partnerships</a>, share the same formation agents and some of the same bank accounts, in addition 33 of the companies used in the Azerbaijani scheme also appear in the Russian version,<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> indicating that the full extent of the scheme may be much larger and needs further investigations to uncover its full extent.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> Later the OCCRP report also revealed a series of transfers from two Azerbaijani Laundromat shell companies to a Baku-based organization called Renaissance Associates, which, in turn, engaged a US lobbying firm “to orchestrate praise for Azerbaijan and had its representatives make thousands of dollars in campaign donations, including to Senators and Representatives who sat on committees that determine foreign aid budgets”.<a href="#cite_note-:4-27">[27]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sociopolitical_implications">Sociopolitical implications</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Azerbaijani_laundromat&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Sociopolitical implications">edit</a>]</div> During the period of the money laundering activities, the Azerbaijani government imprisoned more than 90 <a href="/wiki/Human_rights_defender" title="Human rights defender">human rights activists</a>, opposition politicians, and journalists (such as <a href="/wiki/Khadija_Ismayilova" title="Khadija Ismayilova">Khadija Ismayilova</a>, <a href="/wiki/Anar_Mammadli" title="Anar Mammadli">Anar Mammadli</a>, <a href="/wiki/Intiqam_Aliyev" title="Intiqam Aliyev">Intiqam Aliyev</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rasul_Jafarov" title="Rasul Jafarov">Rasul Jafarov</a>, <a href="/wiki/Leyla_Yunus" title="Leyla Yunus">Leyla Yunus</a>) on politically motivated charges.
