Merrick Garland announced indictments against Russian Konstantinos Malofeyev for alleged sanction violations.

The Justice Department took separate actions Wednesday aimed at a top Russian oligarch, unsealing an indictment against Konstantinos Malofeyev for alleged sanction violations. The Treasury Department previously identified Malofeyev as one of the main sources of financing for Russians promoting separatism in Crimea, and for providing material support for the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic.
“After being sanctioned by the United States, Malofeyev attempted to evade the sanctions by using co-conspirators to surreptitiously acquire and run media outlets across Europe,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a Justice briefing. Garland announced the seizure of millions of dollars from an account at a U.S. financial institution, which the indictment alleges constitutes proceeds traceable to Malofeyev’s sanctions violations.

“Congrats Everyone Who Is Early & Found This Comment!” ☘️💰🎈
Merrick Garland wears the 🥑 in this house
Garland can you retire already
How you going to prosecute, Garlic? More bs from a bs’er
Konstantinos Malofeyev just had millions confiscated from his surreptitious accounts for 2014 sanctions violations. You should really try to pay closer attention to the actual report.
Good luck. How do you plan to extradite Putin? I am curious about the plan.
Why? They didn’t have to extradite Hitler.
America accusing Russia of war crimes is like OJ “looking for the REAL killer”
@Soup Jr keep snorting the good stuff bud
@What’s Good My Guy maybe you should move and relinquish your citizenship
@MrBlokeSmunts ->Um… the USA. The USA is not too well known for honoring treaties looking at history. Just ask the American Indian.
@MrBlokeSmunts why? I’m a proud citizen…. That doesn’t mean we don’t make mistakes or do the wrong things but then again your a democrat… So everything is some one else’s fault right ?
Wow what a waste of time. Indicted a person that could care less. Why don’t you indict alf and mickey mouse while your at it
@L Johnson whoop the doodle doo don’t care won’t change the war
@What’s Good My Guy Your comment shows you haven’t got a clue. You really should pay closer attention.

That’s what we needed John Henry
Some get changes some walk free
He sanctioned Putin’s poodle as well. We got him now!! Go Democrats!!!
Just to be safe I’m going to learn Chinese and Russian. English certainly is not going to be the language of our nation in the future
Can we hold criminals in this country accountable, both large and small?
USA Today, tell your viewer, how those that escaped Zelensky, have free housing, food, healthcare, money, or show us the migrants camps
How about this kind of enthusiasm for for the domestic criminal working hand in hand with Russia to divide our country? He wants to run this country the way Putin runs Russia, and facing no consequences for past crimes, he may just get one more chance to do that
I agree
How about worry about criminals in you own house before you try to police the world.
I’m more interested in what’s in Hunters laptop.
He’s got the Hells Angels recipe for meth in there, which is a tweaked version of Hitlers original 1942 special white crystal cruise sniff sauce.
Kinda like the junkie helping you look for the bag of dope you had that has gone missing
And take this message very seriously Oligarchs! Any money or gold you have in any of our banks, belongs to us now! And it will take for you a lifetime to get it back! If you can get it back! But, guys where we can find cheap oil and gas and other earth minerals if we are hard on them?
👍
If only garland would get on with the prosecution on trump and his thugs and oligarchs.
