An Ex-Blackwater Employee Tied To Erik Prince Provided Security For Rudy Giuliani In Ukraine - The newly surfaced connection between Prince and Giuliani comes as feds are investigating the Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine by @ChristopherJM HT @SandySkipper1 buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
Per sources in late 2019/early 2020, Prince was looking into purchasing 3 aviation companies: Motor Sich, a privately owned jet & helicopter engine maker, and the Kharkiv State Aircraft Manufacturing Company and Antonov - both state-run aircraft producers buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
Here's 2019 WSJ story about Erik Prince's interest in Motor Sich
Andriy Derkach said he aided Prince “in accordance with the US laws” and pointed to a registered lobbying agreement he entered into with Artemenko in April 2020
A March DNI report said "Putin had purview over the activities of Andriy Derkach"
A Politico story from April 2020 broke the scoop that AirTrans run by Andriy Artemenko (who also goes by Kuchma) and Yan Aronov was part of Erik Prince's company Frontier Resource Group
I have a small scoop to add on to this - a company called World Aviation Group (with website worldwideaviationgroup(dot)net), lists tel # and address affiliated with other Artemenko and Aranov businesses - and displays that it is part of Erik Prince's Frontier Resource Group
Worldwide Aviation Group LLC lists David Gitman as director and was affiliated with Jacob Gitman companies (WIS etc)
There's no evidence World Aviation is the same as Worldwide Aviation - however Artemenko's businesses share common officers and addresses with the Gitmans
Skyway International, which lists Jacob Gitman as an officer, was listed as the agent for an Artemenko company Global Assets
Great @carmichaelstack@OCCRP story on Poroshenko's secret control of offshore firms that banked at Austria’s Raiffeisen
Thread on more Raiffeisen customers: Trump Toronto, Firtash, Deripaska, RZB was reputed front for Russian mafia boss Semion Mogilevich occrp.org/en/investigati…
In March 2007 the $310 million construction loan for Trump Toronto’s developer Talon (led by Alex Shnaider & Val Levitan) came from Raiffeisen Bank/RZB
A non-interest-bearing loan was extended a dozen times & in 2015 Talon defaulted on the loan.
In 2004 Russia’s Gazprom formed a 50/50 partnership with RosUkrEnergo (RUE) controlled by Raiffeisen to sell gas from Turkmenistan to Ukraine’s Naftogaz.
In 2006 NYT reported that RUE was owned by Centregas, Dmitry Firtash owned 90% and Ivan Fursin 10%
