Can transfer to Ukraine: In the US, the court allowed to arrest more than $ 5 million oligarchs from Russia

It is reported that in the case of withdrawal of funds, they can be directed to the restoration of Ukraine. This was made possible after the US Department of Justice organized a group that deals with the confiscation of finances of persons close to Vladimir Putin. At the end of last year, US President Joe Biden also signed a law that provides for the possibility of directing withdrawn funds to support the victim from the Russian aggression of Ukraine.

According to Andrew Adams, the head of the Ministry of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, the money confiscated may soon be sent to Ukraine. "These amounts are scanty compared to the cost of the catastrophe caused by Russia of the people and the land of Ukraine, but the contribution is important," Adams said. Konstantin Malofeev himself did not try to challenge the confiscation decision, which allows the procedure to be automatically.

Konstantin Malofeev is a Russian entrepreneur, co -owner of the Orthodox TV channel "Constantinople". He is suspected of financing fighters of the so-called "LNR" and "DNR", involvement in the events in Crimea 2014, as well as links with the former "Minister of Defense of the DNR" Igor Strelkov-Girkin. Malofeev has been under US sanctions since 2014 for "separatists' financing in Crimea. " In 2022, the businessman was accused of violating US sanctions.

According to the US Prosecutor's Office, the money in the account of Malofeev is subject to withdrawal because he tried to transfer them to the business partner contrary to sanction restrictions. According to media reports, Konstantin Malofeev is now in the territory of the Russian Federation. It should be reminded that on June 16 last year it became known about the intention of New York federal prosecutors to arrest a bank account in the United States of Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev.

It was reported that More than $ 5. 3 million is in the account of Malofeev.
