Lev Parnas is on the legal teams of both Trump AND of indicted Russian Dmitri Firtash,
currently awaiting extradition in Vienna, the same city Parnas, Fruman, and Giuliani were (separately) heading to on the day of Parnas and Fruman'ns arrests.
And Parnas was paid a million dollars for his work as a "translator" for Firtash.

Parnas is also on the legal team of indicted oligarch Dmitry Firtash, who US prosecutors call a high-echelon associate of Russian organized crime
when arrested, Parnas and Igor Fruman were heading to Vienna where Firtash resides
Giuliani was going to Vienna the next day

It really hasn't gotten enough attention that Parnas and Fruman were members of Trump's legal team, according to their attorney John Dowd.

DiGenova and Toensing billed Firtash "about $1 million for their work...That includes costs for Lev Parnas, a Giuliani associate, as a translator." That's one expensive translator, given that Vienna has lots of Russian speakers and Parnas lives in Florida.
