According to him, back in 2022, the US Department of Justice accused the Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev of violating the sanctions that were imposed on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine. The United States said that he financed Russians who promoted separatism in the occupied Crimea.
Garland recalled that at that time it was announced “the arrest of millions of dollars from an account in a US financial institution related to Malofeev’s violation of sanctions.” In February 2023, the transfer of this money for use in Ukraine was authorized.
“While this is the first transfer by the United States of confiscated Russian funds for the reconstruction of Ukraine, it will not be the last,” Garland said.
Recall Konstantin Malofeev – the founder of the Tsargrad TV channel. As part of the investigative actions in the United States, millions of dollars were confiscated, which lay on the account of one of the American banks.
