| BCCI |
The Bank of Credit and Commerce International was a major global lending and investment institution. At its height the BCCI operated in
78 countries with over 400 branches. The bank closed in 1991 under the weight of massive fraud and money laundering charges. In the investigations, BCCI was
found to support illegal international activity and was a conduit for CIA covert operations – including the Iran/Contra arms sales network.
