Union Bank notified the owner of the Crocus Group, Araz Agalarov, about the closure of his bank accounts in the United States. 10 days earlier, the country's prosecutors office got interested in the oligarchs transactions. The entrepreneur is suspected of meddling with the US presidential election and financing Donald Trumps election campaign, RBC reports.
On June 3, 2016, Natalia Veselnitskayas lawyer met with Trumps son and allegedly handed him compromising material against Hilary Clinton, who also participated in the presidential elections. On the same day, according to the US prosecutor's office, Agalarov tried to transfer $ 3.3 million to the representative of the Crocus Group in the United States, Irakly Kaveladze. Before reaching Kaveladze, the money went through a chain from Citibank, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley.
According to Kaveladze, three US banks the names of which the companys representative did not disclose refused to provide services to the Crocus Group.
