BBC Arabic's FinCEN ‘investigation' amplifies a well-worn political narrative
The basis for that programme is a leak of documents known as the FinCEN Files, described by the BBC in one of its numerous recent written reports on the same story as follows:
"The FinCEN files are more than 2,500 documents, most of which were files that banks sent to the US authorities between 2000 and 2017. They raise concerns about what their clients might be doing.
These documents are some of the international banking system's most closely guarded secrets.
