2005, LM Holdings owner Robert Shelter-Jones purchased Villa La Mauresque & "ceded friendship"of property to Firtash for 50m euros. LM secured loans from Raiffensen Bank and $25m loan from Transolve Ltd & $25m in 2006 from Mersiford Ltd, registered in the British Virgin Islands.

Then, Irish firm Moraga Ltd claimed the debt by acquiring the shares of LM Holding with approval from Firtash and his Ukrainian mother Maria Grigorovna Firtasha (in Ukrainian) web.archive.org/web/2012101904…

Now the interconnected tweet above is in early 2014 - about 9 months earlier this happened. Firtash or more likely Shetler-Jones sacks everyone on his private UK "charitable" foundation except his wife on the same day

Firtash agrees to pay for a 3 day Festival in London, the opening of the London Stock Exchange by him, Huge dinner at Natural History Museum, big reception House of Commons - all organised by Shetler-Jones and his pet Tory politicians en.dmitryfirtash.com/event/the_firt…

Oct 2005, Firtash attended a gala dinner with Queen when she gave award to Ukrainian Pres Viktor Yushchenko for contribution to the development of international relations. He sat with JKX Oil & Gas, has interests in Ukraine. (meets Tory peer Lord Asquith) beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/PEw3X…

"The Cyprus-based Lucicle Consultants Limited, received millions of dollars from a businessman and Ukrainian parliamentarian named (Ivan Fursin), who is closely linked to one of Russia’s most notorious criminals: Semion Mogilevich" thedailybeast.com/mueller-reveal…

“Ivan Fursin was a senior figure in the Mogilevich criminal organization,” Taras Kuzio, a non-resident fellow at Johns Hopkins-SAIS’ Center for Transatlantic Relations and a specialist on the region told The Daily Beast.

"Robert Shetler Jones, is responsible for Firtash's Western business. Firtash is close to Ivan Fursin. “With the help of Ivan, I solved my financial problems, and he is my junior partner. In all my companies, he owns 10% each” (Vedomosti, June 28, 2006) rudenko.kiev.ua/persons/firtash

Even Panorama got a little suspicious in the old days when the BBC was a serious news source: they asked him if he was a front man for Semion Mogilevitch which he denied

Firtash/gangster/Semion Mogilevich, Firtash admitted he was a co-owner of High Rock Holdings, in which Mogilevich's wife had a stake. Firtash, says he bought her share out as soon as he knew. He said he met Mogilevich only a few times in his life: (Vedomosti, June 28, 2006)

Now to Boris Johnson....as Mayor of London he waved through the sale of Brompton Road tube station to Dmitry Firtash in September 2013 - just a few weeks before Days in Ukraine. 3 months after Firtash was indicted by the FBI for global moneylaundering

Its simple to do using tax havens. London. “Prices are going up, it’s an easy market in which to sell if you want cash. And London is full of professionals you need to undertake the corrupt acquisition of property & the laundering of money into the UK,”

"If one Russian oligarch feels defamed by another oligarch, it is London's lawyers who apply the necessary balm to the ego," Johnson told the Confederation of British Industry's annual conference in London on Monday" (2012)

Boris Johnson meets Ajit Chambers to discuss the underground project - absolutely no doubt he's a huge fan (2012)

There's a case study on the concept and the idea at academia level link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

The French press love Ajit Chambers idea journalmetro.com/monde/217886/l…

More on how great the project is from 2010 london-underground.blogspot.com/2010/06/reopen…

The Ministry of Defence sold it (initially they were too shy to say to whom) a mystery buyer theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/f…

The Ministry of Defence's own press release selling the disused tube station to a mystery buyer gov.uk/government/new…

The buyer Michael Spink bought the Old Brompton Road tube station on behalf of Ukranian gangster Dmitry Firtash who was arrested one week earlier than the story comes out from The Times thetimes.co.uk/article/ukrain…

Did the Ministry of Defence conduct any "due diligence" before selling Brompton Road to a suspected Russian/Ukranian mobster, NOPE. Did they note that he had been funding the Tory Party heavily for 10 years NOPE. Did they care about shafting Ajit NOPE assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…

As late as March 2013 Boris Johnson was singing the praises of Ajit Chambers. June 30 13 - Firtash is indicted by the US Dept of Justice for global moneylaundering - Sept 13 he appears out of blue and buys Brompton Rd Tube Station - Days of Ukraine he wines and dines Tory elite

Someone "intervened" to make sure an indicted global moneylaunderer with links to Russian mafia could buy this tube station. Someone asked Ministry of Defence sales team "to look the other way" - it beggars belief that it was not a Tory Party figure - Suspect No1 Boris Johnson

@threadreaderapp Did Boris Johnson persuade the Ministry of Defence to look the other way in the sale of the Brompton Rd Tube station in 2013 to an indicted Ukranian mobster? @unroll

And BIG CONSEQUENCES may be coming

@threadreaderapp Firtash Foundation, SCL Elections (Cambridge Analytica) and Hanson Research Trust all shared address in past 4TH FLOOR, 26/28 MOUNT ROAD, London

@threadreaderapp Hansard 19th March 2018 Tory Party were bunged £200K by US Department of Justice indicted gangster with Russian mob links Dmitry Firtash (and Boris Johnson waved it onwards as Mayor) - in 2018 a minister says not really evidence enough to prosecute a Russian mobster

@threadreaderapp In Feb 2014 (TEN MONTHS AFTER FIRTASH WAS INDICTED FOR GLOBAL MONEY LAUNDERING) He was guest of honour at the British Foreign Office helping them understand the EuroMaidan Revolution which kicked Russian mobsters like Firtash out of Ukraine. Tory Party took cash & PROTECTED HIM

@threadreaderapp So the Firtash money to the British Ukrainian Society stuffed full of Tory MPs and Lords 'kept on flowing' even though the global moneylaunder was 'wanted' and arrested bound for extradition in Austria

@threadreaderapp Firtash (Tories chum) indicted 30/06/13 -buys a tube station in London (Sept 13) Pays for Days of Ukraine Festival in London (Oct 13) still indicted for global moneylaudering all the time. And 2014 Feb he is courted & wined and dined by the Foreign Office

euromaidanpress.com/2014/02/25/fir…

@threadreaderapp Firtash is ACTUALLY arrested for global money laundering just a few days after being wined and dined by the British Foreign Office reuters.com/article/us-ukr…

In Aug 2016 Channel 4 TV said it had seen documents that indicated Firtash had paid only a third upfront for Brompton Road tube station - which means the British taxpayer GAVE A RUSSIAN MOB LINKED Ukrainian gangster a £33m loan to buy a tube station when Boris Johnson was Mayor

Now back to Dominic Cummings Brother in Law (he marries Mary Wakefield 2011 she was Boris Johnson's The Spectator deputy) - Jack is an art critic (that's it!!!) yet Dmitry Firtash hires him as a Board Director 2008-2013 WHY????

Buying Tories is profitable for Russian mobsters!!! Publicly Firtash is said to have paid £53m for Brompton Rd tube station. Channel 4 saw a document that said HE DIDN'T - so if £53m changed hands at least £33m was a British taxpayer LOAN!!!! channel4.com/press/news/gre…
