The Russian Weed Connection – Russian Oligarch Andrey Muraviev Invested in Cannabis and US Politicians

To conceal Muraviev’s illegal donations, his fellow conspirators masked the contribution as a business loan, and the funds were wired to an organization account controlled by Kukushkin, the federal prosecutors wrote.The men sent Muraviev a photo taken on Oct. 20, 2018, with an unknown Nevada candidate who was to get a ten thousand dollar campaign donation from them close to two weeks later. The federal prosecutors said the contribution was made in Fruman’s name, but it was funded by Muraviev.
