Three apartments worth $3.1 million were sold to accused official’s daughter

One of Donald Trump’s signature projects in Manhattan was used by former officials in Kazakhstan to launder dirty money, ultimately profiting the GOP presidential nominee himself, the Financial Times reported Wednesday.

The FT said that three apartments in the Trump SoHo hotel-condominium, which he owned jointly with the real estate companies Bayrock and Sapir Organization LLC, were sold in April 2013 for a total of $3.1 million to shell companies ultimately controlled by Elvira Kudryashova, the daughter of Viktor Khrapunov, a former energy minister and Mayor of Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city. That was two years after Khrapunov and other members of his family were charged with fraud and other financial crimes in their homeland. The FT said its reporting was backed by “title deeds, bank records and correspondence.”

Lawyers for the city of Almaty told a U.S. court in March that Khrapunov and his family “conspired to systematically loot hundreds of millions of dollars of public assets…and to launder their ill-gotten gains through a complex web of bank accounts and shell companies…particularly in the United States, ” according to the FT.

Crooked Donald is scum!

Darn it!
That's millions of dollars that aren't available to bribe Hillary.

At least she stole millions from the Haitian rebuilding money.
All that infrastructure....never to be built, eh Matthew?

WTF Matthew? You didn't read your own article. He only lent his name to the project and never got the 18% due to him.

Bizarre dates as well. The family in question left the country in 2008. The charges weren't even brought until 2011. How the hell could anyone dealing with these people financially even begin to know that this might have been dirty money?

Go see a fortune teller? A clairvoyant? A fucking crystal ball to see into the future? That's how you are supposed to do business?



The daughter sold in 2013.

Just constant lies from you assholes. Man I'm really beginning to loathe the left. From the same article which proves the OP is an asshole liar one more time.

"In return for lending his name to a project built to his standards by Bayrock/Sapir, Trump was supposed to get 18% of its profits.

However, the project failed to attract buyers and Bayrock/Sapir’s backers ultimately foreclosed on it in 2014.

The FT quoted Alan Garten, the Trump Orgnization’s general counsel, as saying that Bayrock and Sapri were responsible for apartment sales and for doing due diligence on buyers."
