Araz Agalarov
Baku/20.10.18/Turan: Ten days after the publication of the BuzzFeed publication about the claims of US Special Prosecutor Robert Muller to the Crocus Group Araz Agalarov, all company accounts in the United States were closed. Muller became interested in remittances to the American office of the Crocus Group for $ 3.3 million on June 3, 2016.
The special prosecutor believes that this money was used when Russian lawyer Natalya Veselnitskaya handed the future president Donald Trump"s son compromising his rival Hillary Clinton. This was done on instructions from the Kremlin, which was interested in Trump being elected president, according to the special prosecutor. The head of the Crocus Group, a well-known entrepreneur of Azerbaijani origin, Araz Agalarov, denies these allegations. His lawyer, Scott Balber, said that Agalarov had nothing to do with possible attempts to influence the American elections. -02D-
