 Am I to assume this was the guy who had the taped Biden/Poroshenko conversations?

 

 

 


Perhaps ... I don’t know much at all about this at the moment. I’m pretty sure Poroshenko taped them himself, but based on everything else going on re Ukraine it felt like it should be stashed here for the time being. :beer:

Bribe of $6 mln offered for closing criminal case involving ex-minister Zlochevsky – NABU director
 

A bribe to the top officials of anti-corruption bodies was offered for the closure of a criminal proceeding where former ecology minister Mykola Zlochevsky was suspected of embezzlement, which would have allowed him to return to Ukraine, Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) Artem Sytnyk has said.
 

"A bribe of $6 million was intended to close the episode when the ex-minister of ecology assisted in embezzling the stabilization loan from the National Bank issued to Real Bank," Sytnyk said at a briefing in Kyiv on Saturday morning.
 

He said that a number of persons were suspected in this episode, including Zlochevsky.
 

"Why people who offered illegal benefit were in a rush? Because tomorrow Mr. Zlochevsky had a birthday and had a plan to achieve the maximum result, namely to close the criminal proceedings and ensure the return of Mr. Zlochevsky to Ukraine," the director of NABU said.

Massive bribe to stop Ukraine probe of Burisma founder intercepted

by Bradford Betz

 

Original Article

 

Ukrainian officials on Saturday announced they intercepted a $6 million bribe attempt to stop a criminal investigation into the president of Burisma, the natural-gas company at the center of President Trump’s impeachment investigation. At a news conference, the officials displayed large bags of seized U.S. currency. Ukraine's anti-corruption prosecutor Nazar Kholodnitsky said former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter, who once held a board seat, was not complicit in the bribe attempt.

Huh
 

Fired NY prosecutor was given Biden-Ukraine allegations in 2018 but didn’t follow up, emails show
 

Ukraine prosecutors didn't want the political spectacle that became impeachment and simply sought to turn over evidence about Joe Biden and election interference to U.S. prosecutors, memos show.


</snip>
 

The memos show that well before Ukrainian prosecutors reached out to Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer, in 2019 to talk about the Bidens and alleged 2016 election interference they first approached Berman’s office in New York in October 2018 via another American lawyer.

Why would she spit out something so stupid? She drew more attention to it, and she cannot risk discovery.

Ukraine makes two high-profile detentions in corruption case (2017 back story)
Swiss prosecutors charge ex-Ukrainian lawmaker with graft (2019 back story)
 

There is some massive money laundrying that has been run through the Ukraine for years, with ongoing cases in the Ukraine, the EU, and in England.
 

Swiss court convicts Ukraine former MP on money laundering charges
 

On June 26, the Federal Criminal Court of Switzerland found former Member of Parliament of Ukraine Mykola Martynenko guilty of laundering about EUR 2.8 million through the Swiss financial system “as part of a criminal group.”
 

The court also convicted another citizen of Ukraine, Pavlo Skalenko, who, together with the former Ukrainian parliamentarian, appears in Ukrainian criminal proceedings of the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), according to the Skhemy (Schemes) program, which cites three sources.
 

Martynenko was sentenced to 28 months in prison, 12 of which are “unconditional imprisonment.” Skalenko will spend 24 months in prison.

Great, major distraction incoming ......


It has never been a distraction. The money laundering in the Ukraine by western "elites" has been a real issue for quite some time. The fact that it was high ranking members of the Obama administration does not make it okay. (Also see Ukraine 2014 "election" also known as how the US helped pull off a Ukrainian coup.)  If this would get any traction in the "msm," Americans would finally hear about it (hint: it will not). The corruption is simply mind-boggling.  And people  want Biden back in office?

This is by design so they can replace him.  


I would say that is a definite possiblity if we see it on the front page of the NYT and WaPo, as well as hear it on CNN, MSNBC and the rest. IOW, if the "msm" makes it a big ***** deal, they would be looking to replace Biden. If they continue to bury it, no replacement.

From the DOJ:

Justice Department Seeks Forfeiture of Two Commercial Properties Purchased with Funds Misappropriated from PrivatBank in Ukraine
Both Properties Worth a Combined $70 Million
 

The United States filed two civil forfeiture complaints today in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging that commercial real estate in Louisville, Kentucky, and Dallas, Texas, both acquired using funds misappropriated from PrivatBank in Ukraine, are subject to forfeiture based on violations of federal money laundering statutes.
 

Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Ariana Fajardo Orshan for the Southern District of Florida, U.S. Attorney Justin E. Herdman for the Northern District of Ohio, and Special Agent in Charge Eric B. Smith of the FBI’s Cleveland Field Office made the announcement.
 

The complaints allege that Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Boholiubov, who owned PrivatBank, one of the largest banks in Ukraine, embezzled and defrauded the bank of billions of dollars.  The two obtained fraudulent loans and lines of credit from approximately 2008 through 2016, when the scheme was uncovered, and the bank was nationalized by the National Bank of Ukraine.  The complaints allege that they laundered a portion of the criminal proceeds using an array of shell companies’ bank accounts, primarily at PrivatBank’s Cyprus branch, before they transferred the funds to the United States.  As alleged in the complaint, the loans were rarely repaid except with more fraudulently obtained loan proceeds.
