Manafort says he has "only" $ 28 million, but the prosecutor's office disagrees with him
Former head of the Donald Trump campaign Paul Manafort estimated his wealth at $ 28 million, but prosecutors of the US Special Envoy Robert Muller believe that it is a bigger sum
Bloomberg reports citing a statement by prosecutors.
"Despite the fact that Manafort provided the government with an electronic list listing its assets worth approximately $28 million, the government has not yet confirmed the net asset value of Manafort," the statement said.
Attorneys at Muller's office also said that Manafort should represent all of its assets in the United States and abroad. It is noted that law enforcement agencies have doubts about the value of the property of ex-advisor Trump and policies for life insurance.
In his tax return, Manafort also transferred assets in the amount of $ 6 million in Ukraine, which, according to him, were devalued, prosecutors said.
Paul Manafort is a former Party of Regions political technologist and former head of the Donald Trump Election Campaign. On October 30, charges were brought against him and Richard Gates, which contained 12 points , including the obstruction of US government agencies, money laundering, non-payment of taxes, fraudulent activities and work as a lobbyist for a foreign institution without registration, a criminal offense in the United States.
Subsequently Manaforth and his business partner, Rick Gates, were sent under house arrest . In addition, it turned out that Manafort lied about the assets , had 3 passports and traveled under the name of the fake name. Subsequently, he explained the need to keep confidential.

Sanctions work well: in the West, they told about the powerful pressure on Putin through Ukraine
Western sanctions against Russia after the annexation of the Crimea and the military invasion of the Donbas have seriously hit Russia's economy and there is more agreement on this issue than before.
This opinion was voiced by British political scientist Andrew Wilson, a professor of Ukrainian studies at the University College London, in an interview with the "Apostrophe".
"It's not just sanctioning, but there is no room for easing or refusing sanctions, I think sanctions worked quite well, and now in the West there is more consensus than before," the political scientist said.
According to him, at the moment, 's economy is restored, but we can not talk about significant progress in this matter. In addition, Wilson predicts that the new US sanctions package will further hit Russia's security, energy and so on.
"For many in the West, this is perfect - they want not to collapse Russia, but to hurt it, and there are signs that this is also an internal problem of Russia," says a political scientist.
Wilson calls the period from 2000 to 2009 "the golden years of Putin," when the Russian president could redeem from the elites and had a social contract with ordinary Russians. But these times have passed, and at present there is a serious problem in Russia.
"He can see some signs that public opinion is dissatisfied with the fruits of all these inventions in foreign policy.After the annexation of the Crimea, even the number of Russians who are willing to pay for the support of the annexed region has decreased, we all expect that Putin will win the reelection next March, but his the fourth term of the presidency may turn out to be very difficult - it is precisely because of attempts to make it impossible, "states Wilson.
