Cyprus Gave Manaforts Bank Records to Mueller Team, Sources Say
Authorities in Cyprus handed over bank and company records to U.S. investigators late last week related to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates, just before they were indicted in the U.S., according to people familiar with the probe.
The Cypriot government was responding to a June 7 request from U.S. investigators for records related to Manafort, Gates and companies they set up in Cyprus and the Seychelles, the people said. The pair of U.S. consultants had at least 15 accounts on the island with Bank of Cyprus and a bank it took over in 2013, Cyprus Popular Bank, one of the people said.
Only a small part of the request from the investigative team headed by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller hasnt been answered yet, the people said. A Bank of Cyprus spokesman declined to comment.

In all, prosecutors allege that more than $75 million flowed through the offshore accounts set up by Manafort and Gates, the bulk of which were in Cyprus. The indictment detailed $12 million of payments from those accounts for Manaforts personal real estate purchases and goods and services in the U.S.

might want to make a plea deal and talk about all the dirt they know about Trump and his gang of incompetent misfits?

(15,805 posts)6. Yeah, I think Mueller will want to make an example of them just to put
the fear of god into Trump, et al, so they know what they are facing, and maybe flush out a few more talkative witnesses. He charge them with everything from jaywalking to tax evasion just so they are looking at sentences that add up to several lifetimes.
