Ukraine News. Sunday 9 September. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Manafort is considering cooperating with the investigation to avoid another court

Sun Sep 09, 2018 1:57 pm
Manafort is considering cooperating with the investigation to avoid another court

Paul Manafort's lawyers discussed with US prosecutors the terms of an investigation agreement to avoid the second stage of the trial that should take place in Washington in September. Bloomberg writes

about it with reference to its own sources.

The discussion of a possible agreement concerned the points of accusation in which Manafort admitted his guilt and what term of imprisonment would agree with the US prosecutor's office.

In the evening of August 21, a jury trial in the US city of Alexandria, Virginia, found Paul Manafort guilty of 8 charge points from 18.

During the hearing, Manafort's defense refused to call witnesses because he was afraid that the prosecutor's office would receive compromising information during a cross-examination.

Manafort himself did not take the opportunity to speak, because he was also afraid of questions from the prosecution side.

Paul Manafort was charged with 18 points. Most of them involve financial fraud, including corruption, money laundering through foreign accounts, tax evasion, unregistered work for foreign governments, and so on.

The focus of the case, on which he first began to judge, is Manafort's work for Ukrainian politicians from 2005 to 2014. Then he consulted the "Party of Regions" and Viktor Yanukovych, and also collaborated with Ukrainian oligarchs - Rinat Akhmetov, Sergei Lyovochkin and others.

At the next trial of Manafort, he will present 1,500 evidence in a case about his lobbying activities, in particular, in Ukraine.

As Tetyana Vorozhko, a journalist from the Ukrainian Voice of America community service, reported that 7 charges will be filed at the next stage of the trial in Manafort . They will refer to the fact that he did not register as a lobbyist who works for foreign interests, provided false testimony, pressured witnesses, and also laundered money.

Vorozhko also noted that, according to American justice, the first trial of Manafort ended quickly enough: it lasted three weeks.

Representatives of the American prosecutor's office admitted that they had mistakenly accused Russian woman suspected of being married to Maria Butina in an attempt to gain access to political organizations in exchange for sex.

In the correspondence of Butina in 2015, her acquaintance and a member of her organization "The Right to the Weapon", who in the investigation materials marked the initials of the "DK", asked what she would pay him for car insurance.

"Sex, thank you very much. I have nothing more", - answered Butina.

Later, Butina told the "DK" that he could "ask for anything", including the request, "that they (the organization" Right to arms"- ed.) Hired it."

Lawyer Butina explained that it was a joke on her part, because "DC" and so worked in this organization.

She allegedly acted with the deputy chairman of the Central Bank of Russia Alexander Torshin.

According to the prosecution, Butina worked in the interests of Torshin, trying to lobby for Russia through the National Infantry Association, which has a great influence on American politics.

The judge stated that he could prohibit Maria Butina's lawyers from communicating information about the case to the media. This happened after the prosecutors expressed concern about the transfer of defense evidence.

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan has been indicted by August 8 to file a proposed defense order in order to prevent public disclosure of evidence in this case. At the hearing, prosecutors charged Robert D. Driscoll's defense lawyer with the fact that he distorts the case in television news interviews.
