Rudy’s Ukraine Henchmen Arrested on Campaign-Finance Charge
Lachlan Markay The Daily Beast October 10, 2019
Two Soviet-born businessmen with ties to Rudy Giuliani were arrested on Wednesday on federal charges of violating campaign finance laws through a six-figure donation they facilitated to President Donald Trump’s official super PAC.
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were taken into custody in New York, the Wall Street Journal reported. The FBI confirmed their arrests to The Daily Beast on Wednesday morning.
Parnas and Fruman are charged with making illegal straw donations, including a $325,000 contribution to the group America First Action. As The Daily Beast first reported, that donation actually came from an entirely different, undisclosed company owned by Parnas. It is illegal to donate to federal political candidates in the name of another person or entity.
