Raiffeisen Bank and their terrorism charges

The last post was about the ridiculous terrorism charges by the Raiffeisen Bank. Raiffeisen Bank officials are aware of the case and by now they must know they've made a BIG mistake - but they have decided to remain silent.

It's a shame - when a huge international bank such as Raifeissen decides to drag your reputation through the mud for no reason, you'd think they'd start acting responsibly when they know they've been wrong.

The good news is, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs were able to confirm that none of the foreign sources checked have financial transactions freezing measures against Dr Alex Davidovic.

Also, to all the people who have expressed their support in their comments and the outrage that this could have happened - THANK YOU!

Hopefully the day will come for the Raiffeisen Bank to get its act together.
