Ukraine makes two high-profile detentions in corruption case (2017 back story)
Swiss prosecutors charge ex-Ukrainian lawmaker with graft (2019 back story)
 

There is some massive money laundrying that has been run through the Ukraine for years, with ongoing cases in the Ukraine, the EU, and in England.
 

Swiss court convicts Ukraine former MP on money laundering charges
 

On June 26, the Federal Criminal Court of Switzerland found former Member of Parliament of Ukraine Mykola Martynenko guilty of laundering about EUR 2.8 million through the Swiss financial system “as part of a criminal group.”
 

The court also convicted another citizen of Ukraine, Pavlo Skalenko, who, together with the former Ukrainian parliamentarian, appears in Ukrainian criminal proceedings of the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), according to the Skhemy (Schemes) program, which cites three sources.
 

Martynenko was sentenced to 28 months in prison, 12 of which are “unconditional imprisonment.” Skalenko will spend 24 months in prison.

They finally formally named him - it is "improper to conceal his name." They will now investigate. The ruling cannot be appealed.

It has never been a distraction. The money laundering in the Ukraine by western "elites" has been a real issue for quite some time. The fact that it was high ranking members of the Obama administration does not make it okay. (Also see Ukraine 2014 "election" also known as how the US helped pull off a Ukrainian coup.)  If this would get any traction in the "msm," Americans would finally hear about it (hint: it will not). The corruption is simply mind-boggling.  And people  want Biden back in office?

I think he means that the MSM/Leftists will cause a major distraction to avoid having to address this story.

This is by design so they can replace him.  


I would say that is a definite possiblity if we see it on the front page of the NYT and WaPo, as well as hear it on CNN, MSNBC and the rest. IOW, if the "msm" makes it a big ***** deal, they would be looking to replace Biden. If they continue to bury it, no replacement.

From the DOJ:

Justice Department Seeks Forfeiture of Two Commercial Properties Purchased with Funds Misappropriated from PrivatBank in Ukraine
Both Properties Worth a Combined $70 Million
 

The United States filed two civil forfeiture complaints today in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging that commercial real estate in Louisville, Kentucky, and Dallas, Texas, both acquired using funds misappropriated from PrivatBank in Ukraine, are subject to forfeiture based on violations of federal money laundering statutes.
 

Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Ariana Fajardo Orshan for the Southern District of Florida, U.S. Attorney Justin E. Herdman for the Northern District of Ohio, and Special Agent in Charge Eric B. Smith of the FBI’s Cleveland Field Office made the announcement.
 

The complaints allege that Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Boholiubov, who owned PrivatBank, one of the largest banks in Ukraine, embezzled and defrauded the bank of billions of dollars.  The two obtained fraudulent loans and lines of credit from approximately 2008 through 2016, when the scheme was uncovered, and the bank was nationalized by the National Bank of Ukraine.  The complaints allege that they laundered a portion of the criminal proceeds using an array of shell companies’ bank accounts, primarily at PrivatBank’s Cyprus branch, before they transferred the funds to the United States.  As alleged in the complaint, the loans were rarely repaid except with more fraudulently obtained loan proceeds.
