💥Oleg Deripaska-Linked real estate company Terra Services Ltd was raided as part of previously unreported inquiry, US prosecutors seek filings in UK as part of ongoing criminal probe, laundering investigation grew out of Mueller's work, by @jonny_browning
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“investigators are seeking evidence of “money laundering, tax offenses and fraud offenses” from 18 individuals and companies including Terra Services Ltd”
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The investigation came to light because Terra is challenging search warrant related to Manafort & Gates that led to Dec 2018 seizure of 25K electronic docs from a British storage unit it owned - per court filing yesterday investigation is live and ongoing bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Deripaska handed control of Terra Services in January 2018 to an individual named Pavel Ezubov, whose name matches that of the billionaire’s cousin
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Other companies we may hear more about related to the warrant on Deripaska's Terra Services - parent company Sparticle Limited incorporated in Cyprus and their parent Cofido Limited in BVI

Terra Services did big financial transactions with Taviner Limited

Last week MD AG @BrianFrosh sued Westminster Management, owned by Kushner Companies, & 25 other companies for unfair or deceptive rental practices while running rodent-infested apartments in and around Baltimore & “hundreds of thousands of violations” of consumer protection laws
@BrianFrosh In September the @baltimoresun editorial board published a piece saying "If Kushner won’t settle, Frosh should sue"

And now Frosh has sued

A wild story I found while researching Mikhail Fridman & Alfa Bank about a subsidiary Alfa Eco. There's an Alfa Eco in NY run by Anatoly Potik who was accused of hiring a hitman to kill his son-in-law. Separately his son once sued Lindsay Lohan for $60mil
nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-c…
Here's 2014 press release - Bluesphere Signs Joint Venture Agreement with Alfa Eco Corporation to Build Global Waste-to-Energy Projects - that describes Alfa Eco "founded in 1989 as cooperative between Alfa Photo and ADP (Mikhail Fridman & Anatoly Potik)"
globalrenewablenews.com/detail_news.ph…
Potik's son-in-law, a shipping executive Oleg Mitnik who was embroiled in a $16 million divorce, alleged that Potik paid $100K to hire a hitman to kill Mitnik - and then allegedly Mitnik paid the hitman $125K to call off the hit

Michael Milken went to jail for insider trading - now Mnuchin, Kushner, Giuliani are lobbying Trump to pardon his crimes and Milken is benefitting from two projects in opportunity zones personally designated by Mnuchin, by @EricLiptonNYT @JesseDrucker
nytimes.com/2019/10/26/bus…
This story on Michael Milken is a great example of the decades of grift around Trump - Milken’s case was presided over by Judge Kimba Wood who also sentenced Michael Cohen. And in an example of how far Giuliani has fallen, he was the Manhattan AG who indicted Milken

Oleg Deripaska back in the news

h/t @OmaErin

"Federal authorities are seeking records seized from a U.K. company associated with Deripaska, according to documents filed in a London court this week."
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"As part of the previously undisclosed inquiry, U.S. authorities are seeking evidence of “money laundering, tax offenses and fraud offenses” from 18 individuals and companies including Terra Services Ltd., a real estate firm that until last year was controlled by Deripaska"
"The inquiry is “live and ongoing,” according to a U.K. government filing Thursday. Terra, in another filing, said the search request appears to have been made “in connection with the special counsel investigation being conducted in the U.S.” into Russian election interference."

Though this is a complex & ongoing #investigation, it’s clear the DNC has not been open & transparent—for what reason we don’t yet know. This is a poignant example of why we need new laws to open up the finances of our elected representatives.

No surprise Oleg #Deripaska didn't give up actual control of his companies to evade sanctions. He placed 3.4% of his shares in a company owned by his 2 children. Plenty of money flowed through this lobbying efforts. How much landed up in the pockets of #GOP Senators and Mnuchin?
#Deripaska's kids get 3.4% in a trust controlled by the oligarch, his New Jersey lawyer Ogier got another portion in a trust and the remainder of the shares went back to VTB - the Putin-aligned state bank which bankrolls Deripaska. reut.rs/2sUJsOG . @traciemac_Bmore
In short, Russian oligarch Oleg #Deripaska has so much control over the executive branch and the #GOP, he can easily overturn laws he doesn't like - even ones designed to punish him for major crimes. That's how serious this situation really is. Russia runs U.S. @NarativLive

#Deripaska: Thread. Deripaska "cedes control" of his companies-->Trump lifts sanctions off these companies. + Overlooked details. #manafort reuters.com/article/us-usa…
1. The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has notified Congress of its intention to terminate the sanctions imposed on Oleg Deripaska's companies
2. Deripaska is the CEO of Rusal, the biggest aluminum company in Russia. Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of Glencore, is a nominal control shareholder; sits on the Rusal board. Glencore owns 8.75% in Rusal. Glencore participated in Rosneft privatization in Dec 2016.
