The special prosecutor to investigate Russian interference in the U.S. Robert Müller, asked the federal judge to refuse Paul Manafort, the former chief of the campaign headquarters of Donald Trump, in the release of bail. It is reported by CNN.

Manafort, accused of a conspiracy against the United States, agreed with the court to release more than $ 11 million from home arrest. This decision should be approved by the judge on December 11. However, Müller's employees found that Manafort violated the ban on publicly speaking about the circumstances of the case. Under a strange name, the ex-adviser Trump wrote an article about his political activity in the interests of Ukraine. At the same time, the co -author of Manaforts was his unnamed colleague, "having communication with the Russian special services." Although the article was not published, the special prosecutor considered this a significant violation of the agreement.

On October 30, the large jury of the jurybrought manually the charges of 12 episodes, including a conspiracy against the United States. In addition, Manafort was imputed by one episode of money laundering, one - work as a foreign agent without the laid registration and two for permits. Finally, seven episodes of banking and financial reporting violations were charged with a political region. The same accusations were brought by the Manafort partner - Rick Gates.

In particular, according to the investigation, Manafort and Gates, tens of millions of dollars from parties and politicians of Ukraine received and from 2006 at least last year laundered this money in American and foreign structures to hide their origin, and thus their ties with Kiev.

Manafort and Gates said they were not plead guilty. Both were sent under house arrest.

Manafort left the post of chief of staff of Trump in August 2016, after it turned out that he was one of the key advisers to Viktor Yanukovych , a cursory ex-president of Ukraine. It was reported that in the so-called barn book of the Party of Regions found records of unregistered payments to Manafort $ 12.7 million in cash for 2007-2012. At the same time, the political strategist himself assured that "he had never received a single illegal payment."

The media reported that Manafort worked for the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska , promoting the interests of the Kremlin. The Trump administration, like the political strategist himself, insisted that he never worked for Moscow.
