Rovt joined Brookdale Hospital board in 2001, became Vice Chmn in 2007 & 2 staff from Rovt's IBE Trade joined Brookdale board

2010 Brookdale's CEO & others were convicted in bribery scheme

NY AG Cuomo was urged but declined to probe Brookdale’s board

Rovt was an investor in Spruce Capital - a subsidiary of Spruce made a $3.5 million loan to Paul Manafort right after he left the Trump campaign in August 2016

As @MacFinn44 found - a jet that flew OAN crew working closely with Giuliani in 2019 (while he was digging for dirt on Biden) was owned by Alexander Rovt

Jet flew Kyiv to Vienna (where Firtash lives, during period Firtash was paying Giuliani assoc Parnas)
According to Andrii Artemenko he met with Rovt, who was reportedly involved in one of the Ukraine peace plans

Artemenko (now renamed Kuchma) was also working with Giuliani, OAN in 2019 and Artemenko signed FARA with Andrii Derkach who leaked Biden tapes

A detail not widely reported on found by @tdotmcelwee - an FOIA of FBI docs showed Mogilevich lieutenant and mafia figure "Yaponchik" Vyacheslav Ivankov had Rovt's IBE International in his contact list
