Ex-head of Trump's headquarters Manafort was charged with money laundering and conspiracy against the United States

The former head of the election headquarters Donald Trump - Paul Manafort - was obliged to surrender to the authorities in connection with the charges. About this writes The New York Times.

As CNN clarifies , Manafort will surrender to a special adviser to the Ministry of Justice Robert Muller (ex-head of the FBI), who is investigating the so-called Russian intervention.

The accusations will also be brought by the former business partner of Manafort-Rick Gates. The name of Gates is mentioned in the documents of the companies that Manafort created at Cyprus allegedly in order to receive money from politicians and businessmen from Eastern Europe, writes NYT.

Manafort was charged with 12 articles, including a conspiracy against the United States, money laundering, illegal lobbying for the interests of a foreign state. The charges of seven articles are associated with the refusal to provide reports on transactions with foreign banks.

Manafort was under investigation on suspicion of tax evasion, money laundering and concealing information that he provided lobbying services to foreigners.

In August, the FBI conducted a search “without preliminary warning” in the Manafort house. Employees of the special services took tax papers and foreign banking documents from the house.

Manafort resigned in August 2016 after it became known that he received $ 12.7 million from the organization of ex-president Viktor Yanukovych.
