U.S. law enforcement agents on Thursday searched New York properties linked to Viktor Vekselberg, a sanctioned billionaire Russian oligarch, NBC New York reported, as Washington seeks to use sanctions and property seizures to pressure Moscow to stop its invasion of Ukraine.
Washington imposed sanctions on Vekselberg in 2018 over alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, and in 2022 over his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russian prosecutors arrested two Vekselberg associates in 2016 for bribing officials connected to a power generation project, the department said.
The irony; many moons ago Putin, still new/uncorrupted tried to rain the oligarchs that were getting out of control. No, you can't do that USA president and all other Capitalist talking heads were screaming, accusing him of anti capitalism etc. He joined them, you know the rest.
