Malcolm Walker: Iceland Foods had money, not Jon Asgeir

IceNews has received copies of bank statements from six banks which appear to prove that GBP 202 million which Glitnir Bank believes was in the possession of Jon Asgeir Johannesson, was actually always the property of Iceland Foods in the UK.

A letter from Iceland CEO Malcolm Walker to the Glitnir resolution committee expressed surprise that the bank thought Johannesson had the money. Walker says in his letter that Jon Asgeir Johannesson had never had access to the accounts, and attached copies of statements from six banks which account for the money.

Iceland is largely owned by Icelandic parties, including the bankrupt estate of Glitnir Bank.

Jon Asgeir spoke of the money in an email to Glitnir’s Larus Welding and Jon Sigurdsson shortly before the Icelandic banking collapse in September 2008; a fact which the bank’s resolution committee took to mean he was directly connected to the money. Malcolm Walker has since sought to prove that he is not.
