Russian oligarch, former founder of Basic Element and chairman of the board of directors of Russian Aluminum, Oleg Deripaska, commented on the searches that took place in two of his mansions in the United States on October 19. Once the richest man in Russia, without hesitation in expressions, complained that the FBI agents drank his vodka and ate jam. But evidence of money laundering by Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to be found.
FBI response
“I would like to ask: did you find Putin’s fucking money yesterday in these abandoned houses? Did you manage to refresh yourself with sour jam from the closets and a couple of bottles of vodka, sprinkled in the best traditions of the Bolshevik Shvonders during a search?”“- wrote very emotionally billionaire Deripaska on his Telegram channel.
Geopolitics
In what is happening around him, Oleg Deripaska sees exclusively politics.
“Observing everything that happens in America, I never cease to be amazed at some transcendental stupidity of a part of the American establishment that continues to persist in promoting this tale about the allegedly colossal role of Russians in the US presidential elections in 2016. It’s time to admit the obvious: Trump, of course, did not win himself. ! He was helped by these dumb people from Washington, who so annoyed their electorate that he was ready to vote for anyone. It is convenient for another 10 years to feed his electorate (brought up on Hollywood films about terrible Russians) with all sorts of nonsense, “Deripaska said.
Deripaska’s affairs
- Since 2018, Deripaska has been under US sanctions related to meddling in the 2016 US elections.
- The effect of the imposed sanctions was instantaneous – in a week the oligarch became poorer by $ 1.6 billion, having lost a fifth of his fortune. Now his fortune has decreased from $ 28 billion to $ 4 billion.
- In 2020, The Financial Times, citing a letter from the US Treasury Department, reported that Deripaska could launder money for Russian President Vladimir Putin, which is why sanctions were imposed on him.
- As part of which case, searches were carried out on October 19 in Washington and New York, the US authorities have not yet announced.
