US senators asked usman and seagull to the sanctions list

Republican senators Roger Wizker, Mark Rubio, Coria Gardner and Lindsay Graham sent a letter to the head of the State Department of the United States, as well as the heads of the Ministry of Finance and National Intelligence, a letter, which was called to make people from the near Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Kremlin report.

The former coordinator of the State Department of the State Department Daniel Fried explained in an interview with Kommersant that getting into the Kremlin report significantly increases the chances that sanctions would be imposed against his persons.

Senators asked to pay attention to the Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika and billionaire Alisher Usmanov as “one of the most influential oligarchs in Russia” and a co -owner of a number of leading media, which has close ties with the Kremlin.

Republicans refer to the materials of Novaya Gazeta, the Fund for Corruption and the International Consortium of Journalists-Resistants, which say about the frauds of Usmanov with Facebook shares and the business that the sons of Yuri Chaika conduct. In particular, the FBK investigation was information that the mansion in Moscow worth $ 85 million, directly related to the Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev. According to the authors of the appeal, "this can be considered as one of the forms of a bribe."

Senators called on the leadership of the State Department, the Ministry of Finance and national intelligence to carefully study all reports about the corruption of Russian officials and oligarchs.
