In an intriguing move, Wyden also presses DOJ to examine “hundreds of millions of dollars in wire transfers” discovered by his investigators that passed through “several now-sanctioned Russian banks.” The latter adds suggestively: “It appears that these wire transfers were correlated to the movement of women or girls around the world.”

I don’t think Wyden would say that there is a correlation unless there was some evidence that strongly suggests that some of these transfers were payments to traffic women or girls to another country. This evidence needs to come out.
