NEW EVIDENCE REVEALS U.S. GOVERNMENT was manipulated BY ANDORRA & SPAIN
In 2015, Spanish and Andorran authorities manipulated the U.S. Treasury Department into issuing a money laundering warning against an Andorran bank. A decade later, new evidence reveals that Spanish and Andorran authorities orchestrated this warning to serve their own domestic political agendas - leaving a trail of destruction that continues to this day.
This manipulation resulted in the bank’s expropriation and 18 of the bank’s employees being unjustly imprisoned.
It’s time to grant them amnesty and restore Andorra’s credibility.
WHAT HAPPENED?
In 2015, the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) accused Banca Privada d’Andorra (BPA) of money laundering. Acting immediately and without verifying the claims, Andorra seized the bank and its Spanish subsidiary.
But new evidence now reveals that Spanish and Andorran authorities manipulated FinCEN into issuing this warning for their own domestic gain:
Spain sought damaging personal financial information held at BPA on a Catalan pro-independence figure, and threatened BPA’s very existence unless this confidential information was leaked.
Andorra sought to shield its politically connected banks; taking action against BPA created the perception of tough action, all while secretly maintaining control of the remaining banks.
The fallout has been devastating, with customers, shareholders, and employees paying the price for this politically motivated attack. The bank was expropriated by the state without any evidence of wrongdoing. Employees were laid off and ordinary clients of the bank found their accounts frozen or transferred, sparking years of legal disputes. Andorra’s reputation as a European financial hub was severely tarnished.
In July 2025, the case culminated with Andorran courts sentencing eighteen former BPA executives to prison, despite Spanish courts finding BPA not guilty of money laundering. A decade on, the Andorran government seems relentlessly committed to covering their tracks despite the ongoing damage this their actions have caused.
Why This Matters
With the Trump administration’s unapologetic “America First” agenda—and a new U.S. Ambassador due to arrive —Andorra should act quickly to reset relations before Washington understands the scale of the manipulation.
Andorra urgently needs to rebuild trust with the U.S. Government and demonstrate to the world that it is a credible and trusted international partner.
Resolving Andorragate will put to bed a decade-long saga that continues to haunt and damage the Andorran government to this day.
Passing an amnesty law for those convicted would close this dark chapter in Andorra’s history and send a clear signal: Andorra is ready to end a decade-long injustice and rebuild trust with the United States.
