Hunter Biden tried to sell refined analysis of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska
New emails have revealed that US President Joe Biden's son,
Hunter Biden had tried to sell the refined analysis of Russian oligarch Oleg
Deripaska.
Rosemont Seneca, the company that tried to sell ''political
and corporate risks, elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska,'' is run by
Christopher Heinz and Hunter Biden.
Hunter had sent an email to Alcoa's Vice President Daniel
Cruise according to a report by 'The New York Post.' The asking price for phase
one of the project was $25,000 while for a refined analysis it was $55,000.
Deripaska was of interest to Alcoa as he is the founder of
Russian aluminum giant Rusal.
Cruise's colleague Pei Chang had shown interest in ''the
list of Russian elites connected to OD [Deripaska] that would not otherwise be
on the Government Affairs team's radar, including various Russian Committee
Heads, Union leaders or Ministers.''
The emails have emerged after the FBI raided Washington and
New York City homes linked to Oleg Deripaska, a billionaire and a close ally of
Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
According to US Treasury Department, "There are
allegations that Deripaska bribed a government official, ordered the murder of
a businessman and had links to a Russian organised crime group."
Deripaska filed a lawsuit in March 2019 against the Treasury
Department, accusing it of illegally targeting him, but the suit was tossed out
this year by a federal judge.
The suit claimed that Deripaska's net worth had dropped by
$7.5 billion after the sanctions were imposed on him and six other Russian
oligarchs by the Trump administration in April 2018.
Washington imposed sanctions on Deripaska, 53, and other
influential Russians because of their ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin
after alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election which Moscow denies.
Deripaska once employed Manafort, who was convicted in 2018
of criminal charges arising from the US investigation into the alleged
interference but was pardoned by then-president Trump in December.
