Note: Oleg Deripaska's companies Rusal, En+ Group & EuroSibEnergo will be removed from sanctions in 30 days based on Deripaska reducing ownership below 50% (and if congress doesn't block it).

Deripaska remains under sanctions and his property is blocked.

With speculation about the arrest of Paul Whelan as a ploy for a swap with Maria Butina - another name to keep an eye on is Konstantin Yaroshenko - a Russian pilot sentenced to 20 yrs in US jail related to cocaine smuggling with Viktor Bout - Yaroshenko has been a focus for Putin
Now that Russia's charged a US citizen, who are the bargaining chips?

#REDALERT: Treasury Dept. to LIFT SANCTIONS on Oleg Deripaska's companies.

Treasury's OFAC has notified Congress it intends to terminate sanctions on Deripaska's companies — the oligarch close to Putin w/ ties to Manafort and the Mueller Investigation.

#REDFLAG: As predicted earlier in this thread...

Deripaska's companies only qualified for sanctions relief assessment BECAUSE Deripaska "stepped down."

But OBVIOUSLY Deripaska installed board members that reported directly to him.

So why lift sanctions?
#FLAG: The answer to that question is Treasury is being WILLFULLY IGNORANT.

They've directed Deripaska's companies to "undertake significant
restructuring and corporate governance," determine why the moles were installed, and reduce his influence.

LOL.
