Marshall Judicial Watch Re: DOJ-2018-005947 (DAG) 18-cv-01854 (D.D.C.) TAZ:BPF Dear William Marshall: This is a sixth interim response to your FOIA request dated and received in this Office on May 29, 2018, in which you requested records from the Office of the Deputy Attorney General (ODAG) relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr, and/or Christopher Steele, dating since January 2016. This response is made on behalf of ODAG. This response also completes our processing of material referred to OIP by OCDETF. On December 19, 2018, April 15, 2019, May 1, 2019, May 13, 2019, and June 3, we provided you with interim responses to your request. We have now completed processing an additional 332 pages containing records responsive to your request. I have determined that 330 of these pages are appropriate for release with excisions made pursuant to Exemptions 3, 6, and 7(E) of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(3), (b)(6), and (b)(7)(E), and copies are enclosed. Additionally, I have determined that two pages should be withheld in full pursuant to Exemptions 6 and 7(C). Exemption 3 pertains to information exempted from release by statute, in this instance 10 U.S.C. § 130(b). Exemption 6 pertains to information the release of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Exemption 7(C) pertains to records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, the release of which could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Exemption 7(E) pertains to records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, the release of which would disclose certain techniques and procedures or guidelines for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions. For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(c) (2012 & Supp. V 2017). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist. -2If you have any questions regarding this response, please contact Michael Gerardi of the Department’s Civil Division, Federal Programs Branch, at 202-616-0680.

This film has been thoroughly discredited and described as propaganda,” said Sergei Magnitsky's widow in her letter to Chopard. No reply from Chopard has been received. The anti-Magnitsky film by Russian filmmaker Andrei Nekrasov has been endorsed by senior Russian Government officials, including Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian General Prosecutor Yuri Chaika. The film has been promoted by perpetrators and beneficiaries of the US$230 million fraud that Sergei Magnitsky exposed. These include: Pavel Karpov, the former Russian Interior Ministry officer who had custody of the documents used in the crime; Andrei Pavlov, lawyer for the Russian criminal group who took part in sham court proceedings as part of the fraud; and Denis Katsyv, son of a Russian government official, whose assets have been seized in the US and Switzerland for suspicion of laundering the proceeds of the US$230 million fraud. “It is surprising that Chopard would associate itself with this sordid spectacle. They should withdraw their funding for this effort. It’s one thing for compromised Russians to posthumously defame a Russian hero who gave his life for his principles. It's entirely another when this is done relying on sponsorship funds from a reputable Western company like Chopard,” said William Browder, leader of the global Magnitsky 395 Justice movement. Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. The anti-Magnitsky film by Andrei Nekrasov is one in a series of Russian propaganda and intimidation efforts seeking to fight Magnitsky sanctions and to avoid accountability for the torture and murder of Magnitsky and for the US$230 million theft he had uncovered. Prior to this, there has been a series of four propaganda films produced and aired on Russian federal TV stations in which Browder is portrayed as a CIA agent working to destroy Russia. Other methods have included opening new criminal cases against William Browder, as well as Russian anti-corruption blogger Alexei Navalny who has been vocally supporting justice for Sergei Magnitsky.

Apologies for my delayed reply. Thanks again for sending us your registration form. My colleague, (b)(6) per DOD (cc'd), will be in contact soon to discuss your travel plans/itinerary. I've also attached our current draft agenda with your speaking slot indicated the morning of Thursday, 4 February. I'm sure Prof. Monaco will contact you again to discuss the details of your presentation (if he hasn't already). We currently expect over 70 participants from more than 45 countries worldwide to attend our event. But back to your questions: (b)(6) per DOD 1.) This should not be a problem can schedule your return flight for 7FEB and you would simply cover the additional days (starting from 5FEB) with our Marshall Center Hotel (current discounted room rate is $40 a night) prior to departing in either cash or credit card. We can schedule your return transportation to Munich airport for 7FEB from the Marshall Center Hotel. If you choose to spend the post-workshop days in Munich or at a different hotel you would make your own return transportation arrangements. 2.) This is also possible, with some considerations: - The contracted hotel for this event is our own Marshall Center Hotel (run by Army Lodging) on our installation (3+ star equivalent). We can reserve a larger room with a queen size bed for you and your wife. The additional cost would be around $7.50 per night. The hotel room has a Computer with DSL internet connection on the closed Marshall Center network (you cannot connect your own device), Iron, Ironing Board, Umbrella (in closet), Satellite TV, DVD player, Safe, Microwave, Refrigerator, DSN (military network) Telephone. Free Wifi is also available in the common areas of the hotel. - We are legally prohibited from providing airport transportation for your wife, so you would have to make arrangements for her transport to/from Munich (options are rental car, train, shuttle service) - We would have to add your wife to our installation access roster and would need her passport information. She would have to carry her passport with her whenever leaving the installation. - Our Dining Facility is within walking distance to the hotel. Your wife could pay for her meals via cash or credit card. You may also consider reserving a room for your wife at another hotel (which may offer more services and amenities). I've included a list of hotels in our local area for your consideration. A nice hotel within walking distance to the Marshall Center is the Rheinischer Hof Hotel (shown on the list). You could also choose to stay at this other hotel with your wife and the Marshall Center is able to reimburse you $40 a night from 2-5FEB. If you want to do your own research on hotels/guest houses in our area and check proximity to the Marshall Center, the address of our Center is: Gernackerstrasse 2, 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Please contact (b)(6) per DOD or myself if you have any additional questions.

Marshall Center. I have not forgotten! We are organizing an alumni event from February 2 to 4, 2016. Our alumni events are short, focused events, in which we bring together graduates from our longer resident course on countering transnational organized crime. For our next event, we plan on devoting all of our lectures to anti-corruption efforts. Our alumni are exposed to the linkages between Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. corruption and crime, as well as anti-corruption measures, during the resident course; however we've found that they have a strong interest in hearing more on this topic. We are ?nding that the overwhelming majority of our participants ?nd the links between crime and corruption to be strong obstacles to countering TOC at the national level. I'm looking for a Federal prosecutor who can explore a case study or two on prosecutions of corrupt of?cials. Cases where there was a link between the corrupt activity and organized criminal activity would be best, but at the same time a case which took on corruption by high-level of?cials would be interesting as well. Our participants cite a lack of political backing to explore public corruption as a deterrent, so any case where DOJ has exposed entrenched public corruption is valuable. I wonder if you'd like to take this one on as a guest speaker? As usual, travel is invitational from USG funds. It will be a great opportunity to meet with public of?cials from across the globe, and as alumni, they tend to be very engaged and very tuned in to the issues. Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Russian President Vladimir Putin?probably" approved the 2006 murder of Alexander Litvinenko, using two government agents to poison the dissident spy, according to a London judge. Forensic evidence indicates Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun killed Utvinenko by spiking his tea with a rare radioactive substance, most likely under the direction of the FSB security service, Judge Robert Owen said in the report published in London Thursday. ,3 . Alexander Litvinenko at the Intensive Care Unit of University College Hospital C'izatograplner: Natasha Images "Members of the Putin administration, including the president himself and the FSB, had motives for taking action against Mr. Litvinenko, including killing him," Owen said. "President Putin's conduct towards Mr. Lugovoi suggests a level of approval for the killing." Litvinenko, a critic of the Kremlin who lived in the U.K. capital, died about three weeks after ingesting the radioactive polonium. The 44-year-old blamed his death on Putin in an impassioned statement from his hospital bed. ?All the evidence points in one direction," Owen said in a summary. ?When they killed Mr. Litvinenko, they were acting on behalf of someone else." Strained Relations Since the inquiry began in January 2015, Anglo-Russian diplomatic relations have sunk to their lowest point since the Cold War and Thursday?s report may further strain the relationship. The investigation pored over footage that retraced Litvinenko?s final weeks, and examined his complicated relationships with British spy agencies and oligarchs. ?We regret that a purely criminal case was politicized and soured the overall atmosphere in the bilateral relations,? Maria Zakharova, Russia?s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said in a statement. ?It?s evident that halting the coroner?s inquiry and starting ?public hearings? had a clear political motivation." The Russian currency was 3.6 percent weaker at 84.487 per dollar after the announcement. It earlier fell to a record 85.999. U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May condemned Russia?s failure to bring those responsible to justice over the years. Both Lugovoi and Kovtun have had their assets frozen, she said in a statement. his was a blatant and unacceptable breach of the most fundamental tenets of international law and civilized behavior," May said in the House of Commons. "We have and will continue to demand that the Russian government account for the role of the FSB in this case." Since 2010 ?Russia has become more authoritarian, aggressive and nationalist,? May said. "We must protect the U.K. and her interests from Russia-based threats, working closely with our allies in the EU and Enemies The original inquest into Litvinenko?s death started in 2006 and then adjourned pending criminal investigations. A subsequent inquest in 2013 was held back by procedural delays and its investigative powers were limited by national-security concerns. RIA Novosti reported that Russia sees serious consequences for ties with the U.K. after the verdict, citing an unidentified person who called the verdict ?illegitimate.? ?The appearance of this report in this context, with names, is very serious, said analyst Alexei Makarkin of HM: Mnumw-hacnd Dnlitiral "lt?c radian than Rritich will Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. ?Ll?[Lu I II.

Later forensic tests showed the three men left a trail of polonium across London. ?It would appear that Mr. Lityinenko was alive to the possibility that he had been deliberately poisoned from the first days of his illness,? Gwen said in the reportr which has taken around six months to publish. Litvinenko lived an ?eventful" life when he moved to the in mm, he said. ?The evidence suggest that in the course of such activities, and just as he had in Russiar Mr. Litvinenko may have made some dangerous enemies,? Dwen wrote. Army Training Litvinenko trained with the Russian army and was recruited into the KGB spy agency in 158?. He served with the agencyr in the first Chechen conflict and was allegedly responsible for war crimesr said Robin Tam, a lawyerfor the inquiry. The spy stayed with the agency as it was broken up after the collapse ofthe Soviet Union, and later formed into the Federal Security Service, or FEB. Before his deathr Utvinenko was close to Boris Berezovsky, a one- time billionaire who was found hanging dead in a bathroom in his house outside London in 21313. Litvinenko exposed a plot in the 199135 by Russian authorities to murder Berezovsky, announcing it at a press conference in Russia. This was an act that his former FSB colleagues considered to be a "gross betrayal,?Tam said. The former spy pointed to Moscow after being poisoned. amr of course, very pleased that the words my husband spoke on his death bed when he accused Mr. Putin of his murder have been proved true in an English court with the highest standards of independence and fairness," his wife, Marina Ejtvinenkor said outside the court Thursday. She said all Russian intelligence officers should be removed from the Russian embassy in London and for targeted economic and travel sanctions at those responsible.

The whole thing is written in first person. Some particularly relevant OC excerpts (page 15): 3.12 I heard that it was whilst working for the Economic Security and Organised Crime Unit that Mr Litvinenko first began to investigate the activities of the Tambov criminal group. This was an organised crime group based in St Petersburg. It was led by Vladimir Kumarin, also known as Barsukov, and another man called Alexander Malyshev. In the course of his investigations, Mr Litvinenko discovered evidence that the Tambov group was engaged in smuggling heroin from Afghanistan via Uzbekistan and St Petersburg to Western Europe. Even more significantly, he became convinced that there was widespread collusion between the Tambov group and KGB officials, including both Vladimir Putin and Nikolai Patrushev. and (page 212): Chapter 4: Organised crime 9.20 As I have described above, the fight against organised crime had been one of Mr Litvinenko’s preoccupations since the start of his career in the Committee for State Security (KGB). His investigations into the activity of Russian crime gangs, and in particular the Tambov/Malyshev group based in St Petersburg, also revealed to him the extent of the collusion (as he saw it) between organised crime and members, including senior members, of the FSB. 9.21 Mr Litvinenko sought to expose these links, in particular in his book The Gang from the Lubyanka, which contained detailed allegations of collusion between FSB officers and organised crime. 9.22 Further, Mr Litvinenko passed information to the Mitrokhin Commission alleging that Semion Mogilevich, apparently one of the leaders of Russian organised crime, was an FSB agent with a 769 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. longstanding personal relationship with President Putin. 9.23 Finally, I have also heard evidence that towards the end of his life Mr Litvinenko was assisting the Spanish authorities with investigations that they were conducting against members of Russian organised crime groups, and that he thought it possible that he might give evidence against them in court. 9.24 It follows from this short summary that a theory that Mr Lugovoy and Mr Kovtun killed Mr Litvinenko on the orders of one or more members of Russian crime gangs would not be implausible. 9.25 That theory, however, is not supported by the evidence that is available to me. Detective Inspector (DI) Mascall stated that the police investigation has not uncovered any evidence linking Mr Mogilevich directly to the poisoning.3 More broadly, none of the evidence suggests that Mr Lugovoy and Mr Kovtun were commissioned to kill Mr Litvinenko by members of crime gangs. More than that, I am satisfied for reasons that I shall describe below that Mr Lugovoy and Mr Kovtun in fact received their instructions from another source. 9.20 As I h Stay warm and drive safe!

I hope things are off to a good start. I am writing because your visit to the Czech Republic is just about a month away and the Embassy as well as Pavel Zeman?s office are finalizing arrangements. We received a tentative schedule yesterday, according to which you will arrive in Prague sometime the morning of Friday, February 19 and depart back to the U.S. on February 23. Your main training activity will be in Kromeriz - about a three-hour drive from Prague ?for which you will depart Prague on February 21. You will return to Prague late on the night of Feb. 22in time to rest before your flight. Pavel Zeman has offered to make space at the training for Embassy employees, and we are mulling over our participation. The Ambassador will host a dinner for you and key Embassy contacts on February 19. Pavel Zeman?s office is aware of this, so we should be able to avoid any scheduling conflicts with this date and time. The dinner will take place at the Ambassador?s historic residence, which I think you will all enjoy taking a quick tour of. Spouses/significant others are welcome at this dinner. Just let me know if they plan to attend so I can add them to the list. Your trip is quite timely given that we will launch an anti-corruption social media campaign with other Embassies on January 21. The campaign will run through early March, with one topic featured each week. The topic for the week of Feb. 22 is public prosecution. It is very broad and the goal is to share U.S. experiences in that field. If any of you would be interested either in engaging audiences on social media during your visit or perhaps ginning up your own content that we could use, please let us know. Rachel Kirby, copied here, has the lead on the campaign. Your contribution could be as short as 140 characters - something to send out over Twitter. We are very much looking forward to your visit. As always, if you have any questions, please let us know. Regards, Alex Alexander L.

Global Countering Transnational Organized Crime (CTOC) Alumni Community of Interest (COI) Workshop: Examining Anti-Corruption Policies, Measures and Solutions 1 – 4 February 2016, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany Sponsored by Alumni Programs, College of International and Security Studies George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Corruption is a global phenomenon, permeating all levels of society, and is simply defined by Transparency International as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Corruption far exceeds the damage caused by any other single crime. According to World Bank estimates, more than $1 trillion are paid in bribes every single year. During our resident course on Countering Transnational Organized Crime (formerly “Countering Narcotics & Illicit Trafficking”), corruption is identified as playing a dual-role: organized criminal activity depends on it and it also obstructs our full execution of CTOC measures. Participants in our program recognize corruption as one of the primary obstacles that they face in prosecuting organized criminal groups. A lack of political will to confront corruption is often cited as one of the main reasons why corruption persists globally. Our shared experience demonstrates that corruption can only be kept in check if representatives from government, business and civil society work together to develop standards and procedures they all support. Countering corruption truly requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the five pillars of Detection, Governance, Prevention, Prosecution, and Recovery. This COI event is our fifth under the Program on Countering Transnational Organized Crime and is the second COI workshop since our program transitioned to a global program. The workshop will include alumni participants from the Marshall Center (primarily our CTOC program), as well as alumni from other U.S. Department of Defense Regional Centers. COI events are an opportunity for continued interaction and cooperation among the alumni network, and an opportunity to examine in detail a topic relevant to CTOC. This Marshall Center workshop for Regional Center alumni worldwide serves as a forum to examine the global scourge of corruption and review effective national, regional, and international anti-corruption approaches, measures, programs and policies. OBJECTIVES: Overall objectives of this CTOC Alumni COI workshop are to: • Examine comprehensive approaches to countering corruption, to include best practices and effective anticorruption measures, programs, and policies • Develop a functionally-based, globally-networked group of security sector professionals to generate sustained communication and facilitate concrete actions in countering security threats • Operationalize the network of CTOC-focused alumni from the Marshall Center and other Regional Centers by developing and strengthening ties between alumni, encouraging the exchange of ideas and collaboration, and enabling a platform for partners and stakeholders to engage with, support, and elicit feedback from alumni Page 1 of 5 George C.

Sort of. To be more exact. they've been pointed at the cybergang known as the Lazarus Group. the group of hackers linked to the 2014 attack on Sony Pictures and the thelt of $81 million from a Bangladeshi bank. But journalists have tended not to draw any distinction between the Lazarus Group and the regime of Kim Jong Un. which is understandable. North Korea has relied on such criminals and thugs to do its bidding for years. This puts the Hermit Kingdom. for once. ahead of the curve. There's growing evidence that other states particularly Russia are increasingly turning to organized crime groups as proxies. intelligence assets. and sometimes even as hired killers. Welcome to the modern age of hybrid war. when even crime has been weaponized. The gangster-spook nexus There's no doubt that North Korea has led the way in turning organized crime toward state ends. Its infamous Bureau 39 is essentially the government's ma?a of?ce, dedicated to generating resources by illegal means to support the state (especially its nuclear and keepthe Kims in imported luxuries. It arranges for methamphetamines to be brewed inside government chemical works. the state mint helps produce some of the highest-quality counterfeit bank notes in the world. and the stateoowned Korea National Insurance Corp. (KNIC) runs systematic insurance frauds abroad. Thae Yong-ho, a former diplomat who was the highest-ranking defector in 20 years. claimed in 2017 that these schemes earn Pyongyang ?tens of millions of dollars' annually. (In 2009. KNIC managers in Singapore reportedly sent then-leader Kim Jong II 520 million in cash as a birthday present.) Turning to cybercrime has been a logical step. Cheap, potentially lucrative, and not relying on physical contact, cybercrime is the ideal operation for an impoverished and isolated pariah. Other states committed to challenging the international order are learning from Pyongyang's example, though if with a little more subtlety. Unlike the North Koreans, they are typically cutting deals with the underworld rather than simply moving into it themselves. Gangsters. a?er all. have all kinds of skills and capacities that can be of value to intelligence agencies and covert operations in the modern world. whether moving goods or people untraceably across borders. raising funds for political purposes. or simply putting a bullet into an inconvenient enemy ofthe state. Of course. intelligence agencies have long used criminals as proxies from time to time. The Sicilian Ma?a provided local knowledge and muscle for the Americans before the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943. In the 19905. Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency used the D-Comgny criminal organization to launch terror attacks in India. In the main. though. these connections tended to be quite rare. one-off necessities more than actual policy. After all. criminals are essentially self-interested and intrinsically untrustworthy. Document ID: 0.7.17531.6351 20180618-0000171 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. Increasingly, though. states are turning to this on a more regular basis The Turkish security forces have used rival heroin-smuggling gangs as weapons against the Kurdistan Workers' Party to penetrate Turkish expatriate communities. for example. Chinese triads are being used by Beijing's Public Security Bureau to intimidate motesters and gather intelligence abroad. And when the Iranian Revolutionary Guard wanted to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States in 2011, they used someone they thought was a Mexican drug cartel hit man. (He was actually an agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration.) However, as they look to prosecute their ?pglitigal war' against the West, the Russians are emerging as the most enthusiastic users of gangsters' services. Given that their intelligence services are now up to Cold War levels. it seems ironic that they would even need such amateur auxiliaries. However, so ambitious and numerous are their operations that even they sometimes need some extra capacity or deniability. Mobilizing Moscow?s mob Some ofthe instances when Russia has used criminals as proxies are well known Russia's seizure of Crimea, for example. and the subsequent undeclared war in Ukraine's Donbass region were carried out not just by Russian special forces. but by local gangsters serving as so-called self-defense volunteers. Similarly, many Russian cyberattacks. especially large-scale ones, involve mobilizing criminal hackers. (Indeed. the cyberespionage division of the Federal Security Service has actually recruited hagkers by giving them the choice of prison or service.) But most of this state-sponsored organized crime is more low-pro?le. We are seeing more and more cases. especially in Europe, where local counterintelligence services believe gangsters are acting as occasional Russian assets. Some work on behalf of the Russia state willingly. In other cases. these criminals have been turned into assets without their knowledge, thinking they are simply doing a service fora Russian gang. And yet for others, they are made an offer they can't refuse. In a recent remrt for the European Council on Foreign Relations, I call these ?Russian-based organized crime' whether ethnically Russian or not (because many are Georgians or the like), they are criminals with business or personal interests back in Russia, a fact the Kremlin can use as leverage. To be sure. most of the time direct links between criminals and the Russian state are hard to establish. What good would it be to hire them if they weren't? But in some cases, the politically convenient patterns are plain to see. In Istanbul. Russian gangsters have killed Chechen rebel sugmrters, according to Turkish intelligence. In Ukraine, only a few days ago. a Chechen gangster tried to kill an anti-Russian militia commander. In the Czech Republic. the of the links between Russian intelligence and questionable businesses involved in corruption and money laundering. In Finland. the security police suspect Russian criminals are buying gg strategically glaged from which military facilities can be monitored or even attacked. Criminal hackers those not regruited straight into the intelligence services are being used for both targeted information heists and crude cyberattacks. Putin has even hinted, with a nod and a wink. that such ?patriotically minded' cybercriminals may have been behind the Democratic National Committee hack. Remember Anna Chapman, the brunette bombshell in the circle of ?illegals? whom deep-cover Russian spies uncovered in the United States in 2010? The likely ringleader and most serious of the team was Pavel Kapustin, who went by the name Christopher Metsos. When the FBI ?nally came calling, he was no longer in the country. He was later arrested in Cyprus. where he was bailed out and then disappeared. According to intelligence sources, he may have been spirited out of Cyprus under the CIA's nose by people traf?ckers. The use of criminals on the part of the Russian government even seemingly leads to the provocative gross- -borger Lid into Estonia by Federal Security Service (FSB) commandos In 2014, during which they Estgnian W. He was convicted on trumped-up espionage charges before being swapped for a Russian spy in an Estonian prison, but the main aim appears to have been to disrupt his investigation into a cigarette-smuggling ring. The criminals were moving untaxed or counterfeit cigarettes over the frontier with the FSB's protection. In return. the Russians got a cut of their proceeds as chemaya kassa ?black account' secret funds that could be used to pay off friends or support convenient political movements without revealing Moscow's ?ngerprints. A dangerous gambit So what's not to love? Why shouldn't everyone, Washington included, get into the gangster-spook game? Apart from the ethical issue. there is the political cost. Criminals make unreliable agents, prone to unprofessionalism in action. and an eager willingness to tell all in return for a lighter sentence when caught. Pyongyang hardly has any credibility or legitimacy to lose, but countries routinely engaging in these activities risk being considered pariahs. Then there is the risk of blowback. While the state is working out how to use the criminals. the criminals are working out how to exploit the state. The result is often a vicious circle of further corruption and criminalization. When Canadian naval intelligence of?cer Sub-Lt. Jeffrey Delisle began selling secrets to the Russians, for example. he was given the shopping list of secrets that Moscow wanted. Over time. there were unexpected additions. Moscow wanted to ?nd out what the Canadians knew about the Russian gangsters operating there. The odds are this wasn't because the Kremlin itself was interested. so much as that someone in the chain of command saw an opportunity to get hold of information that could then be sold to the criminals. But this is the age of so-called hybrid war of the blurring of the boundaries between war and peace, overt and covert, espionage and information. And what could be more hybrid than the gangsters? Certainly for the foreseeable future Document ID: 0.7.17531.6351 20180618-0000172 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. they will remain assets not just in the shadow war between Russia and the West, but a range of geopolitical struggles carried out by countries that are looking to outsource operations from espionage to sabotage to these deniable mercenaries of the underworld.

Travel Arrangements: Marshall Center funded participants will receive information regarding their airline tickets for travel to Munich from their contact at the U.S. Embassy in their respective country or directly from the Marshall Center ). Any changes in the flight itinerary (for both arrival and departure flights) (Point of Contact (b)(6) per DOD must be coordinated through the Marshall Center travel office. You are also responsible for keeping the Marshall Center informed of any changes in your flight itinerary to prevent complications with airport transportation. All itinerary changes within 72 hours prior to arrival should be reported to one of the Points of Contact listed at the top of this document. All other participants not funded by the Marshall Center are considered self-payers and should make their own flight arrangements to Munich (or other travel arrangements bringing them directly to Garmisch-Partenkirchen). Air Arrival and Departure: Arrival (Funded Participants): The Marshall Center will provide your transportation from Munich International Airport to the hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Transportation will be by sedan, minivan, or bus and contracted driver (the drive will take app. 1 ½ - 3 hours depending on weather/traffic). You will be met by a Marshall Center driver/representative carrying a sign with the Marshall Center seal. Please look for the person with this sign as you enter the arrival area (outside the baggage claim area) of Terminal 1 or 2. Marshall Center Seal George C.

You can purchase a ticket at Munich Airport for the entire trip, cost: app. €19-27 one way (simply follow the S-Bahn/Train signs to the Deutsche Bahn (DB) service area). Airport and railway information can be viewed on the following website: http://www.munich-airport.de/en/consumer/index.jsp Train information and costs are on the following website: http://www.bahn.de/p en/view/index.shtml Finally, taxis at the Garmisch train station can then transport you to your hotel in less than 5 minutes. There are also several fee-based shuttle & bus services available that operate between Munich and GarmischPartenkirchen. Two such services can be booked online at: http://www.airport-shuttle-zugspitzland.de/ and http://meinfernbus.de/en . Departure (Funded Participants): Your personal departure time and date will be listed on the “Departure Information Board” in the coffee break area (near the plenary room) during the workshop.

Of?cial - UNCLASSIFIED Document ID: 01189916573 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. Accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, Donald Trump attended the extravagant 70th birthday party of long-time friend Steve Schwarzman in Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday night. According to reports, Schwarzman, who is the CEO of global private equity firm The Blackstone Group, is committed to serving as a key advisor to Trump with the intention of meeting “frequently” on issues of strategy and policy. Schwarzman made headlines recently for having traveled with Trump on Air Force One, and after his family housekeeper was pushed in front of a subway car and killed in Times Square back in November. In recent days, a great deal of media attention has been paid to Trump’s National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn for his possibly illegal discussions with the Kremlin prior to Inauguration Day in which he may have projected the Trump administration’s intention to lift sanctions on Russia once Trump assumed office. However, the real story here may in fact be Schwarzman. After weeks of sifting through financial disclosures and filing records, a group of concerned citizens investigating Trump’s ties to Russia has uncovered evidence to suggest that the two companies involved in the Rosneft deal have ties to the Koch Brothers and Donald Trump himself. Indeed, Schwarzman’s Blackstone Group may now hold a stake in Rosneft, Russia’s government-owned oil company that famously sold 19.5% of its stock to two investors this past December: the first was Glencore, to which evidence suggests the Koch Brothers are connected, and the second, a mysterious Qatar-based nest doll of shell corporations, which evidence suggests is ultimately owned by Schwarzman. Schwarzman’s possible connection to Rosneft puts Mr. Trump dangerously close to allegations brought forth in the controversial Russian dossier that suggested he was offered a 19 percent stake in the oil company in exchange for lifting American sanctions against Russia. If Donald Trump was involved with the Rosneft deal it would constitute a high crime of treason worthy of impeachment and have deeper ramifications about Trump’s knowledge with regards to cyber interference in the presidential election. The Money Trail Document ID: 0.7.18991.6573-000001 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. The Panama Papers, which leaked in 2016, revealed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s penchant for pilfering assets into off-shore shell companies. On Sunday, December 11, 2016, Reuters reported that Russia signed a deal with Glencore, a commodities trader based out of London, and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Qatar’s government-owned holding company that conducts foreign investments, to sell a 19.5 percent stake in oil major Rosneft. The privatization deal was called the “largest in Russia’s history” by Rosneft Chief Executive Igor Sechin. Right off the bat, it should be noted that none other than the Koch Brothers have an investment with Glencore. On January 10, according to a Russian news publication known as RBC, 19.5 percent of Rosneft shares were moved to a Singapore-based company known as QHG Shares Pte Ltd, which Rosneft confirms owns 19.5 percent of its shares as of February 1, 2017. This company represents a consortium of Glencore and QIA.

The Qatar shell corporations that make up the financial backing for the Rosneft deal include QHG Cayman. http://www.rbc.ru/business/10/01/2017/587507a39a7947c61978c0d2 Among them is a little known organization based out of the Cayman Islands known as QHG Cayman Limited, which along with several other companies makes up the financial backing for the Rosneft deal in December. More of QHG Cayman’s filing history can be found with the UK Companies House Filing Records. The Link to Schwarzman The Blackstone Group, for which Mr. Schwarzman serves as co-founder and CEO, acquired Intertrust, a Dutch trust firm, in 2012. Intertrust has a series of assets located in the Cayman Islands, including Walker’s Management Services (WMS). Walker’s shares an address with and registered a Limited Liability Partnership called QHG Cayman Limited on December 16, 2016, only nine days after the Rosneft deal took place and just before the assets were moved to QHG Shares Pte. Ltd. If this money trail is correct, it would mean Schwarzman now has an interest in the 19.5 percent Rosneft stake. The owners of QHG Cayman Limited have not been independently verified. This comes amidst Friday’s explosive report from the Washington Post that Trump’s National Security Advisor, General Michael Flynn, had communicated with Sergey Kislyak, a Russian ambassador, about lifting sanctions against Russia a month before Donald Trump assumed office. Flynn had previously denied such a conversation occurred. The Washington Post report alleged that the conversations “were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election.” Reuters ran a detailed report on how Russia was able to sell its massive oil stake without disclosing the buyers, a mystery that has sparked the fascination of people around the world, particularly after it was widely reported that former president Barack Obama and Mr. Trump Document ID: 0.7.18991.6573-000001 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. were both briefed last month regarding a 35-page intelligence dossier prepared by well-known British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. The controversial “Russia dossier” was subsequently leaked, a move that was criticized because of the unconfirmed nature of the report and the salacious allegations it contained. One such allegation, was explicit: Donald Trump would receive up to a 19 percent share of Rosneft in exchange for lifting sanctions placed on Russia. While the Russian Dossier has not been confirmed in full, CNN reported on Friday that U.S. investigators have corroborated portions of the dossier.

The headline of Krutikov's piece is "Kompromat on Trump May Be Regarded as Discreditation of Russian Counterintelligence". This is an angle that has not been covered in the West, where media and of?cials have been preoccupied with whether or not the claims in the dossier are true, and the nature of the relations the dossier's author, who was revealed to be the ex-spy Christopher Steele, had with the FBI. The media has been busy trying to check the allegations in the dossier, and some have pointed out that the story is more about the use of the dossier made by a group of American intelligence agencies investigating Trump's associates and their connections to Russia. But this Russia ex?spy -- although no spy is ever a former spy as Vladimir Putin himself will tell you -- is indignant about an issue that stands out for Russians. If the list of top ?gures mentioned in the dossier who are in the Russian government, oil and gas business and other sectors is true, then that means foreign espionage has been easily able to penetrate to the very top of Russian political and business leadership. It's an insult then to Russian counter-intelligence which should have prevented or exposed such a thing -- and also grounds for severe punishment in Russia. (And for all we know, what is happening now with the release of the dossier and its discreditation is Russian damage control.) Krutikov lists all the supposed sources of the dossier and ?nds it improbable that any spy or spies in the West acting unof?cially could have obtained that high and wide an access. That is indeed a point to marvel about in this dossier. But since some of the aspects of the report fell apart upon close examination, or the people in the report vigorously denied their involvement and seemed to have alibis- Krutikov's article is Document ID: 0.7.18991.12237 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. --. - . rather about how the Western intelligence agencies discredited themselves by buying this "fake." His headline promises an article of remorse or anger about "discreditation" of the valiant Russian organs, but it's really about discrediting Western spies. Steele is a "decoy duck", says Krutikov, and whether this was planned, leaked to the press, or invented by editors who had read too many spy stories wasn't important. Says Krutikov: "Such a ?gure [as Steele] does not look very convincing and is hardly dangerous But on the whole, there is no certainty that such a personage exists at all, at least in those existential categories that are ascribed to him. Moreover, it is hard to imagine, that this is one person, and not an abstract compilation of knowledge. To obtain access simultaneously to "?ve sources in the Russian government and the presidential administration," you would have to be at a minimum a deputy director for operational work in a Western spy shop, reasons Krutikov. And it would be nonsense to be retired in this case, as if you had left the service, you would no longer have access to the "most secret" material in M16 or "top secret" in the CIA Even if you could still maintain contact with an old agent, you wouldn't have access to his ?le any more; this is basic intelligence folk wisdom. So looking at the dossier, reasons Krutikov, we would have to imagine that all ?ve sources were still accessible by the report's compilers, even from the days of the USSR. "But that isn't possible by dint of the fact that the Russian elite has changed since then at a minimum three times, practically from the foundation up." Krutikov analyzes the ?ve sources, and notes about source B, who was said to have kompromat on Hillary Clinton. This source is Document ID: 0.7.18991.12237 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. said to have contacted a certain "Department which as we know exists in the Interior Ministry. AS Andrei Soldatov pointed the dossier mentions "Department of the but that's a mix-up. Department in the FSB is involved in 'supervising' the banking and ?nancing system," notes Soldatov and its of?cers were recently involved in a scandal "that ended with an Interior Ministry of?cial jumping out of a window during interrogation." It's the Department in the Interior Ministry, not the FSB, that does the cyber investigations, he explains. So isn't the connection between the individuals related to Department in the Trump dossier (even identi?ed incorrectly) and the Department where Stoyanov and others at Kaspersky once worked rather tenuous? Of course it is. But Krutikov's musings, which include a frank assessment of Western intelligence agencies' work "at the worst level it has been in a quarter of a century" and a knock on Western spies as amateurish, still contained a concern lurking underneath that the dossier -- If true -- could mean only one thing: somebody inside Russian intelligence was turned, and helping an effort to expose Trump -- and Putin's operation to promote him. Again, if true, the high-level nature of the sources and the alleged nature of the information -- involving the very candidates of the US election, one of whom became president mean that Russian defense was penetrated. Maybe it wasn't, but if it were, we would expect to see heads roll. We'd also expect to see lesser ?gures hung out to dry, in keeping with every scandal in Russia. There have been arrests of some Russian hackers in the West, and we don't know if they are related to the DNC hack or not.

Even if the dossier is fake, unless Russian intelligence is fully behind it themselves, they can't be sure that in fact Steele's fact- ?nders really did have some Russian sources and they need to worry that their people have been turned. Then Russian counter- intelligence would believe they were penetrated even if they weren't -- a whole other aspect of the dossier which would indicate its fabrication was done in the West. -- Catherine A.

The Washington Post reports that the attack is under investigation by the FBI.[2][3] Earlier that evening, Joyal had dined with former KGB general Oleg Kalugin; Kalugin (whom the Russian Government accused of being a US agent) later told the Washington Post that he was not sure whether the attack was politically motivated.[4] 543 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.

Tamince’s brother defends Arif over yacht orgy Fettah Tamince has a brother named Fesih Tamince. He testified at a February 2011 hearing about the yacht orgy. He appears to have claimed, “We are also engaged in the jewelry business. They [the Russian and Ukrainian girls] came for catalog shoots.”1 Tracking the origins of claims that Arifov was part of the Uzbek mafia Andrey Kalitin, Zero Hour These claims appear most abundantly in the 2008 biography of the Chernoy brothers by Andrey Kalitin called Zero Hour, 2 which is a tendentious source.     The book appeared amidst a UK lawsuit filed in 2006 between Oleg Deripaska and Mikhail Chernoy. Chernoy claimed in a separate lawsuit that Deripaska had commissioned Kalitin’s book as part of a defamation campaign against him. 34 Chernoy submitted materials including purported emails involving Kalitin. Kalitin countered that most of the emails attributed to him are forgeries, with a few genuine documents included to fool readers. 5 Russian blogger Solomin wrote in 2007 that not all the dirt on Chernoy was necessarily dug up by Deripaska. Some of it may have been publicized by other émigré businessmen such as former Yukos officer Nevzlin, Arkadiy Gaydamak, Lev Levayev, Boris Berezovskiy, or others seeking to solidify their position in Israel by dissociating themselves from the "Russian mafia."6 1 http://www.milliyet.com.tr/savarona-da-gizli-tanik/guncel/haberdetayarsiv/19.02.2011/1354247/default.htm 2 Andrey Kalitin, Vremya Ch (Zero Hour), 2008, chapters 3, 5, http://www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/99496/Kalitin - Vremya Ch..html 41 Civil Suit MC vs Deripaska Israel, http://www.intelligencesummit.org/news/JohnLoftus/Appendix/41 Civil%20Suit%20MC%20vs%20Deripask a Israel.doc 3 Second Witness Statement of Michael Cherney, In the High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court, Claim No. 2006 Folio 1218, between Michael Cherney and Oleg Deripaska, p 23, reproduced as Exhibit 3 (Document 00319794353) appended to Motion to Supplement Record, Davis International LLC et al v.

Chernoy denied involvement and suggested that the shooting was faked.7 Assuming Kalitin was not making up the information about Arifov, where did he get it?  “The press has often expressed the assertion,” he says, that the Chernoys acquired their starting capital with help from from Uzbek crime bosses like Gafur Rakhimov and Tofik Arifov, rather than from selling slippers.  Kalitin continues, “In the Russian press there is practically no information about Chernoy’s starting capital.” Rather, Kalitin pulls together facts from the brothers’ biography, such as a gap in their biographies from 1985, when they founded the one of the first cooperatives in Uzbekistan, to 1992, when they cofounded TWG, to suggest illicit activity.  Kalitin says his findings are based on “spending a few weeks in the archives of dozens of Soviet and Russian newspapers” and on talking with Uzbek immigrants [in the UK? Israel? Russia?].  He says the Chernoys’ 1980s cooperative was part of the Association of Cooperatives and Small Enterprises (AKAMP), created by the Tashkent Communist Party organization and headed by Gafur Rakhimov. AKAMP members benefited from a special CPSU program that allowed enterprises to use some of their export earnings to buy consumer goods abroad. The Chernoys made big money by importing and reselling electronics.  He says the Chernoys and Rakhimov became partners with Salim Abduvaliyev, who was known in police files as an extortionist. He cites former Uzbek law enforcement officers to say, “through Abduvaliyev, ties were maintained [by whom? AKAMP? The Chernoys?] with “Shukhrat,” who was then the crime boss of Tashkent.  Kalitin then cites rumors and oft-repeated assertions in the press that say the Chernoys’ cooperative was used to launder Salim and Gafur’s drug money.  Kalitin cites the “second Uzbek case,” an early 1990s criminal case against the sons of former Uzbek regional Communist party bosses, including the Chernoys’ sponsor Alimov. He says case materials showed money flows to neighboring Chymkent Oblast, in Kazakhstan.  Kalitin writes, “Tashkent oldsters will probably still remember the scandal surrounding the so-called flower mafia,” which culminated in a knife battle in Tashkent’s streets. “This story is thought to be linked with a redistribution of spheres of influence in favor of a certain crime boss named Tofik (Tofik Arifov), who now lives in Turkey and owns the most luxurious hotels of that country.” 7 Richard Bartholomew, Jerusalem Summit Sponsor Accuses Critical Journalist of Faking Gun Attack, Bartholemew's Notes on Religion, http://barthsnotes.wordpress.com/2007/08/29/jerusalemsummit-sponsor-accuses-critical-journalist-of-faking-gun-attack/, 29 August 2007. The book, coauthored with American Alexander Grant, is entitled “The Time of Ch.” http://www.labirintshop.ru/books/161125/ Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000373 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.      Kalitin cites official police information saying the Chernoys brought the goods to Russia.. “From the look of things [судя по всему] drugs also went to these regions together with the flowers.” o This can be deduced from the fact that “these deliveries were ‘protected’ by so-called sportsmen, the same [Gafur] Rakhimov and [Salim] Abduvaliyev.” o “These regions” refers to Siberia and the Russian Far East, which Kalitin calls the home territory of the Uzbek mafia. The sources for Kalitin’s book also included Peter Grinenko, a third-generation émigré working in the Brooklyn prosecutor’s office, and FBI agent Ray Kerr, Kalitin had several interviews, starting in 1996, with New York-based Russian crime figure Sam Kislin, who deeply resents Chernoy for doublecrossing him. Kislin serves as an informant for the FBI, Kalitin says. o Kislin said he met Chernoy in the late 1980s but, after threats from Chernoy’s associates, quit his aluminum partnership with Chernoy in 1992. o Kislin said his nephew Alik continued to work with Chernoy,. o Does Kislin’s 1980s partnership with Tamir Sapir link him with Arif? Does his 2000s era hostility to Chernoy taint his testimony? Kalitin cites a Chernoy interview in a Russian newspaper, where Chernoy says he invested money in US real estate through Sam Kislin’s nephew Alik for 4-5 years. Chernoy claims he sold out at the peak, in 1998, but that he looked into setting up a telecommunications business centered in Canada. Kalitin also cites a strategy document for the investigation of criminal case No. 117449, which was brought in the mid-1990s against Lev Chernoy but dropped. The document was apparently shown to him by antimafia investigator Lieutenant S. Glushenkov. o The document read in part, “They say that Tashkent crime groups, whose leaders were his [Lev’s] school friends, helped Lev and Mikhail Chernoy.” o “It is reported [Есть данные ] that the Tashkent crime family allotted money for the development of his cooperative from its common kitty [obshchak], but this is very dubious.” o “They say Mikhail Chernoy contacted crime bosses like thief-in-law Slava Yaponchik and ‘Otarik’ (Otari Kvantrishvili) through Uzbek criminal authorities Gafur Rakhimov and Tofik Arifov. We have already pointed this out….”  This case was ongoing as of 1996. According to a German police summary of a Swiss investigation, Moscow law enforcement asked Swiss investigators, who had arrested Chernoy, to question him about aluminum theft (the subject of case 117449) and fraud (case 81659). 8 8 Dzhalol Khaydarov testimony, case n° 201 Js 68101/06, Stuttgart, http://rubakhin.org/?page id=867, cited in Испанский прокурор о необходимости продолжения расследования дела о «русской мафии», Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000374 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.   Glushenkov apparently “lost interest” in the case by 1998. The claims weighed in these materials from case 117449 also appear (without any caveats) in two January 2003 articles in Satcor.ru.  An article from January 3 cites an anti-Chernoy spoof website, chernoi.nu, which appears to have been created by then-Putin campaign manager Marina Litvinovich.9 The domain was paid for using a fake credit card and put up 22 November 1999, shortly before the Duma elections. It was taken down on Chernoy’s request in January 2000.10  An article from January 16 cached from the satcor website does not give a citation for the paragraph about Arifov, but the following paragraph cites a Fortune magazine article from 12 June 2000. Fortune magazine’s free archive does not go back that far so I could not check whether the Fortune article really was the source for the claim about Arifov. Why would Putin’s 2000 campaign team (using chernoi.nu) invent an Uzbek criminal Tofik Arifov? His main rivals in the December 1999 Duma elections and March 2000 presidential election were Moscow mayor Yuriy Luzhkov and former Prime Minister Yevgeniy Primakov, who had united in the Fatherland-All Russia Party, as well as Gennadiy Zyuganov’s Communist Party.  Chechen hotelier Umar Dzhabrailov did nominally run in the 2000 election but probably never expected to get many votes.  Putin’s strategists, led by Boris Berezovskiy and Vladislav Surkov, and political consultants Gleb Pavlovsky and Marina Litvinovich, groomed the image of Putin and of his Unity Party for those elections.11  The surge of Russian national fervor accompanying the Second Chechen War boosted Putin’s popularity.  Also in 1999, six months before the elections, Berezovskiy had bought the influential newspaper Kommersant, using Iran-born Kia Joorabchian as cover.12 Kia received help from Roy Azim, who was reportedly friendly with Tofik Arifov.

It is unclear whether this transaction was pegged to the election. If Berezovsky/Abramovich and Tevfik Arif were all helping the Yeltsin family and its chosen successor, Putin, why would Putin strategists tar Tofik Arifov with the brush of being an Uzbek criminal? Was Arifov a school friend of Lev Chernoy? The satcor.ru article from January 3 2003, focusing on Bykov, identifies Arifov as a school friend of Lev Chernoy.14 The article provides a parenthetical citation to chernoi.ru (Chernoy’s real website) a few paragraphs later, and it is unclear whether this statement comes from there. In contrast, it was Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov and the KGB , not Rakhimov and Arifov, who were identified as Lev Chernoy’s patrons in a biography posted on compromat.ru on 10 March 2000, just 13 days before the elections that confirmed Putin as president. compromat.ru claimed the unattributed article came from its forum. No other cached copies could be found. This feature piece on Lev Chernoy, written in a literary style with no citations, claimed two other patrons for Lev:  Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov (Taivanchik), whom it described as his school friend and protector. o This article says it was Tokhtakhunov, not Rakhimov and Arifov, who introduced Lev to Vladislav Ivankov (Yaponchik) and Otari Kvantrishvili (Otarik).  The KGB, who arrested Lev for illegal trading activities in the 1980s but released in return for a commitment to serve as an informer for them. o The KGB also helped Lev Chernoy land his job in the excavator plant, claims the article.15 Other authors speak more generally of Chernoy receiving help from school friends from the Uzbek crime world. Kalitin mentions this general group of friends in one place, and Tokhtakhunov in another place.16 13 http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no cache=1&tx ttnews%5Btt news%5D=2926 3 14 http://web.archive.org/web/20030207165622/http://www.satcor.ru/files/2003/ 01/f 03 01 2003.html 15 Лев Черной, как зеркало бандитского капитализма, 10 March 2000, Compromat.ru forum, http://www.compromat.ru/forum/ forum/00000236.htm, available at http://www.compromat.ru/page 9640.htm Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000376 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. If Tofik Arifov really were a school friend, it would have been at school # 129 in Tashkent, where Lev transferred after 8th grade. Lev had previously studied at a special school due to his disability: a bout with polio had reportedly forced the amputation of part of his leg.17An iniitial keyword search for alumni ofSchool #129 yielded nothing relevant. 1999 compromat dump against Anatoliy Bykov and Yuriy Luzhkov “…[Anatoliy] Bykov’s [crime] group coalesced in 1990-1992. Its ‘godfathers’ in the crime world are Salim Abdulayev [aka Abduvaliyev] (‘Salim’) and Tofik Arifov (‘Tofik), leaders of the Uzbek crime group, who have been actively working with L. Chernoy since the late 1980s….. “Bykov, observing his agreement with Yaponchik, coordinated his activities with the heads of TWG[the Chernoys]. In 1995-1996 he spend a total of several months in the US and met with Yaponchik more than once.” These claims appeared in a report that was apparently written in early-to-mid-1997 and came to light on a shortlived website, known as Kogot’-2 or web102b9.ntx.net or krasnobykow.com, which has been described as “yet another compromat dump.”    Kogot-2 [“Claw-2”] appeared 18 February 1999, ahead of the 1999 parliamentary and 2000 presidential elections. It focused on Krasnoyarsk crime-linked businessman Anatoliy Bykov, particularly on his “shady ties” with Moscow mayor Yuriy Luzhkov. The site was soon closed.”18 Bykov was at the time opposing Krasnoyarsk regional Governor Aleksandr Lebed.19 As Moscow Times points out, “It's fascinating stuff - and almost totally unsubstantiated. Theories abound about who is behind Kogot and other such sites - could it be spies, political imagemakers, jittery journalists?.... “‘There is a ton of such material gathered around Moscow,’ [Moscow News webmaster Anton] Nossik said. ‘Private investigators are listening in, the secret services are listening in, specialists paid for by the newspapers such as 16 Andrey Kalitin, Vremya Ch (Zero Hour), 2008, chapters 3, 5, http://www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/99496/Kalitin - Vremya Ch..html 17 ЧЕРНОЙ Лев Семенович, http://www.centrasia.ru/person2.php?st=1270590820 ; Лев Черной, как зеркало бандитского капитализма, 10 March 2000, http://www.compromat.ru/forum/ forum/00000236.htm posted in http://www.compromat.ru/page 9640.htm 18 Yevgeniy Gornyy, Летопись русского Интернета: 1990-1999, item on events of 18 February 1999, http://www.zhurnal.ru/staff/gorny/texts/ru let/1999.html 19 ON THE WEB: ALL THE NEWS THAT'S UNFIT TO PRINT?

There are piles and piles of such tapes lying around many offices’.”20 At least some of the material in an earlier Kogot compromat dump was genuine, according to one of its victims. Sources from Compromat.ru articles on Lev and Mikhail Chernoy “According to the newspaper ‘Konservator’ (2003), “The Chernoy brothers obtained money to develop their business through ties with the Uzbek criminal community, particularly with Gafur Rakhimov and Tofik Arifov,” says a biography of Mikhail Chernoy put together by aksnews.ru, the Agency for Conflict Situations.  AKS is a subsidiary of Rosbalt, which is co-owned by the wife of former antidrug tsar Cherkesov (a former Leningrad KGB boss of Putin) and by the Luzhkov-friendly and crime-linked Vladimir Yevtushenkov of the Sistema conglomerate.21 The cited Konservator article exists only as a reprint on compromat.ru and contains no mention of Rakhimov or Arifov.    If it originally did make such claims, they may have been removed and papered over with more neutral text. The following paragraph in the version posted in compromat.ru might be the papered-over version: “In 1985 the brothers opened one ofthe first cooperatives in Tashkent. First the joint venture worked in the flower business, but later the brothers’ circle of interest expanded from day to day. Older brother Mikhail took on the organization ofproduction, while Lev took care ofraw materials supply, product sales, and financial issues.”22 This mild phrasing about raw materials supply may disguise what some sources say explicitly: that the Chernoy brothers’ cooperative supplied itself with goods stolen from the factory where Lev worked. Kalitin disputes this claim, however. Rumafia.com’s version of Mikhail Chernoy’s biography also quoted the exact same phrase, “the Chernoy brothers obtained the money to develop their business through ties with the Uzbek criminal community, primarily with Gafur Rakhimvo and Tofik Arifov.” Moscow Times, February 25, 1999, Web Site Serves Up Political Intrigue, By Natalya Shulyakovskaya, Johnson’s Russia List, 25 Feb 1999, http://www.russialist.org/archives/3069.html 20 21 http://flb.ru/persprint/53.html Чернoй Михаил Семенович: алюминиевый магнат [no date] 22 Semen Petrov, Лев Черной: бывший король алюминия, ныне пенсионер, 21 Feb 2003, http://www.egk.ru/article.php?article id=1504&name heading=%D1%D2%C5%C7%D F posted at http://www.compromat.ru/page 12807.htm Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000378 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.  The rumafia.com article provides vague citations to a half dozen sources. 23 These were impossible to track down. FBI Report reportedly mentions Gafur and Salim but not Tofik A 2012 report in the semi-tabloid Argumenty I fakty cites an FBI “Organized Crime” report as saying that in 1987, when Mikhail Chernoy came to “conquer Moscow,” he carried “’recommendation letters’ from ‘respected’ Tashkent businessmen known by their nicknames Gafur and Salim. Thanks to these, the visitor to the capital became acquainted with Sergey Mikhaylov, the ‘businessman from Solntsevo’, and with Antol Malevskiy…Sergey Timofeyev and a whole number of other prominent personalities…”24 Updated Arif Chronology I will update it and send it. Leads/other angles to pursue Gulnara’s family: If Gulnara/Julia had three small children in the 1990s and was managing a realty company, she would have needed childcare. Many people from the former Soviet Union bring over their parents to help with this. I looked for other Turkish-, Russian- or Central Asian-sounding names o (b)(6) to see whether any of them might have been her parents. No clear candidates emerged. However, it would be worth looking at other residents of the Arif family’s other homes for other possible relatives of Gulnara. Julius Schwarz—why so important? According to documents obtained by The Telegraph, when the Icelandic group FL agreed in May 2007 to provide a 15-year $50-million “loan” to Bayrock (a disguised investment), the agreement specified that the “loan” would be valid only if Tevfik Михаил Черной: предприниматель, основатель Фонда Михаила Черного в помощь жертвам террора, http://www.rumafia.com/ru/person.php?id=189.

Arif, Felix Sater, Julius Schwarz and Jody Kriss remained as Bayrock managers for the full 15 years. 25  It is understandable that whoever stands behind FL would want to keep Arif and Sater employed, but what value to them were Schwartz and Kriss?  A search for Schwarz’s name in Russian along with various spellings of “Bayrock” yields almost nothing.  How does this FL document fit with claims by mobster-turned-informant Salvatore Lauria that it was he, working as a consultant to Bayrock, who in 2007 brokered a $85 million deal making Iceland’s FL Group partners in the Midtown Miami development? Is this the same deal described Lauria says Bayrock finance director Jody Kriss was angry that he kept the $2.5 million commission and later filed a lawsuit against the company and threatened Lauria’s life.2627  Also, did Kriss’ departure and lawsuit against Bayrock affect the FL “loan”? From Pavel Fuchs Update 20 September 2016-09-24 Coincidence? Milediy Kukuts was born in 1953, the same year as Tofik Arifov. It seems unlikely they ever encountered each other. The only likely place would have been in the military. People from Central Asia (at least the less educated ones) tended to be placed in construction battalions, not paratrooper divisions. Arifov, as a member of the exiled Meskhetian Turks, on the one hand may have experienced residual persecution, but on the other hand may have had the incentive to get a good education and excel. (This is what the exiled Koreans did).

Key Findings The brother with the chromium money: Rafik Arifov /Refik Arif and the Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory (AZHS)   Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov coauthored several patents on chromium-based leather tanning. Though published in 1998-2000, they were likely for inventions developed in the Soviet era. Thus, in Soviet times he was either a specialist on chromium chemistry, or a powerful manager in the chromium industry. Tevfik’s brother Rafik Murtazayevich Arifov (Refik Arif) co-owns Doyen Capital and Doyen Sport, as well as French real estate holdings, Bilge Turizm in Turkey, and the UK-based companies Bondex Trading Ltd and Networld Trading, which serve as representatives of the Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds factory. Ties between Cengiz Family and AZHS    A subsidiary of the Cengiz Holding empire in Turkey won a road-buildling contract in Aktobe. Several of the people managing that subsidiary also hold top posts in AZHS. A Murtaza Rustamovich Arifov, who is probably Tevfik Arif’s nephew, is a consultant to the subsidiary. The Cengiz empire could be the power behind the Arif family empire, or it relies on the Arifs to help them gain entrée to contracts in Kazakhstan. Did the Arif brothers get early funding from Akhmetov/Gumenyuk?  Rixos chief Fettah Tamince, in a 2005interview, claimed that Bilge Turizm, the Arif brothers’ company, received funding from Rinat Akhmetov and Igor Gumenyuk, Ukrainian oligarchs close to Yanukovych. Possible military or security services link?     Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov’s co-authors on the chromium tanning patents include people who have worked for institutes that have developed protective gear for the Soviet military and special services. One co-author, Nina Okhotnikova, formerly worked for a “post-office-box,” likely a secret military installation whose identity remains to be determined possibly AZHS itself. Okhotnikova now holds a top post at AZHS. Also, a possibly related company called Bayrok is located at a police experimental factory. Kronos Capital    Tevfik Arif’s children co-directed Kronos Capital Ltd from 2009 to 2011. The company apparently existed before and after these years and did projects in Ukraine. People linked with Kronos Capital were also linked with InvestUkraine and Castle Finance, which in turn is linked with UkrSibBank and BNP Paribas. Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000382 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. Who-whom still unclear It is unclear who, if anyone, stands behind the Arif family’s money flows.  Their chromium factory and development projects in themselves were probably lucrative. But they have to be locally powerful to avoid corporate raids, and to keep on good terms with Nazarbayev in Kazakhstan, Erdogan in Turkey, and other powerful elites in both countries.  Perhaps Tevfik Arif is forced to continually cultivate Aleksandr Mashkevich and ENRC, which owns upstream and downstream chromium factories, but apparently his Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory remains independent of them.  The Cengiz family is clearly tied with AZHS.. Either they own a stake in it, or the Arif family smoothes their way to lucrative contracts in Kazakhstan. Is there a conflict between this relationship and Trump’s partnership with the Dogan family. The Dogan daughters have married into several Turkish dynasties but not into the Cengiz family .29  We have seen Fettah Tamince claim that Rinat Akhmetov and Igor Gumenyuk provided early funding for the Arif brothers’ Bilge Turizm, which built their first Rixos hotel in Turkey.  Former BTA bank chief Mukhtar Ablyazov should probably be brought back in here. He was Minister of Energy, Industry and Trade in 1998-1999 and may have helped AZHS when it briefly listed on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange. People surrounding Trump and Bayrock have been implicated in thefts of budget money by the Khrapunov family, also linked with Ablyazov. How about the Arif family? Born in Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan? Evidence that Tevfik and his brothers were born in Kazakhstan:  On incorporation papers for Ravana Private Holding, brother Refik wrote that he was born in “Cambul,” Kazakhstan.  However, the reliability of the information these documents is dubious. Other brother Vakif wrote incomprehensibly, “Place of birth: Kazakstan. Country of birth: Turkey. Nationality. Kazakhstan.” 30 Evidence that Tevfik and his brothers were born in Uzbekistan: As of 1997, brother Rafik spelled his patronymic in the Uzbek way, Murtozayevich with an “o” in the middle, when registering a car in Almaty. 31 29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayd%C4%B1n Do%C4%9Fan 30 number 114098: Ravana Private Foundation, http://www2.curacaochamber.cw/excerpt.asp 31 http://t.spravkaru.net/peoples/7/727/2938155/; http://t.spravkaru.net/streets/7/727/134426/14/ Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000383 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. This may be a stretch: If Tevfik named “Bayrock” for the Turkic word for “flag,” when he chose to spell it with an “o” he was choosing an Uzbek spelling. Information that might resolve the question: If someone could safely look at the zipped directory information for brother Refik that said he lived in Novovoskresensk, Zhambyl Oblast. According to the fragment in the Google search result, the entry should include place of birth (Russian initials м.р.). We still don’t know the source or reliability ofthis information. Uzbek mafia—ways to check for Arifov connection?  Kalitin writes, “Tashkent oldsters will probably still remember the scandal surrounding the so-called flower mafia,” which culminated in a knife battle in Tashkent’s streets. “This story is thought to be linked with a redistribution of spheres of influence in favor of a certain crime boss named Tofik (Tofik Arifov), o --where else did I see references to this battle? Was it 1994? If so, not related to 1980s flower mafia battle  If Arifov really were allowed to travel abroad, and were related to Rakhimov, it might have been through AKAMP, the Association of Cooperatives and Small Businesses, which was sponsored by the Party and Komsomol. o Rakhimov elsewhere claimed to have worked for the Soviet trade ministry FIND o Try searches for Арифов АКАМП?  A person with a hometown and training similar to his worked for KurortProdTorg (Resort Supply and Trade) 32. Perhaps that is where Arifov worked. Try searches for Арифов Курортпродторг People who know about Central Asian OC in the 1990s:  Martha Brill Olcott at Carnegie  Kim Thachuk and Karen (formerly worked with Louise Shelley)  Eric McGlinchy at GMU?  David Satter?  Dan Kimmage? (He was at State Dept, last I heard, and might not be in a position to talk).  Bob Orttung  Lisa Tarantino? (Her name was suggested by a friend who worked in Central Asia in the ‘90s). After graduating from SIPA at Columbia U. in 1994, Tarantino worked in Uzbekistan for three years, apparently trying to set up a business.

Possible link with military work As mentioned in an earlier report, Tofik Arifov’s patents related to chromiumbased leather tanning compounds, all applied for in 1998-1999, could have been an attempt to gain credit for work done secretly earlier. The biography of his co-patent-holder Nina Anatolyevna Okhotnikova suggests a tie to Soviet-era military-related work and to the Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory.  She earned patents and published papers in the 1970s and 1980s on the production of chromic acid and chromium trioxide.  Some of her work was published in the journal of the Urals Chemical Research Institute in Sverdlovsk, a region with many military industrial factories.48  She was listed as working at “Post Office Box А-7125 Enterprise” in a 1981 patent. 49 o This is probably a secret military facility. o This may have been the AZHS itself. Kazakh authorities considered them strategic facilities (see caption above). o Alternatively, this may have been one of Kazakhstan’s many other leather-tanning and shoe-making factories. 50 o Aktobe itself had a shoe factory.51 o DzhambulKozhObuv (now renamed TarazKozhObuv when the city got renamed Taraz), one of the biggest leather shoe factories in the USSR,52 which had 5000 workers in the 1970s53 and branches in smaller towns.54  48 cited in http://www.dissercat.com/content/razrabotkakhromsberegayushchikh-tekhnologii-dubleniya-kozh-dlya-verkhaobuvi#ixzz4KFkkUZSh; http://webirbis.spsl.nsc.ru/irbis64r 01/cgi/cgiirbis 64.exe?Z21ID=&I21DBN=CH& P21DBN=CH&S21STN=1&S21REF=5&S21FMT=fullwebr&C21COM=S&S21CNR=20 &S21P01=0&S21P02=1&S21P03=A=&S21STR=%D0%97%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0% BE%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0,%20%D0%A1.%20% D0%92; http://www.unichim.ru/index.php?show=lib&get=4 Способ получения хромита магния, published 28 Feb 1981. http://patents.su/2-808369sposob-polucheniya-khromita-magniya.html 49 50 Leather and shoe factories in Kazakhstan: Izvestiya NAN RK, Social Sciences, 2010, N 2 , http://www.rmebrk.kz/journals/167/obw%20(2).pdf 165 51 http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P930000945 52 dppzhambyl.gov.kz/investmentpro/rus.pdf 53 http://www.boxingenergia.ee/index.php?option=com content&view=article&id=1633:2014-02-14-1146-52&catid=4:2010-01-08-07-46-48&Itemid=9, Intervyu s yubilyarom vladimir dontsov, 16.02.2016 54 Kazakh State Women’s Pedagogical University Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000388 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.

The Turkish construction magnates spell their name with a hard “C” (no curlicue) that is pronounced like a soft “g” or “j” in English. It is apparently distinct from the the Iranian-born, UK-based Iraqi Jewish securities dealers, Robert, Vincent and Lisa Tchenguiz (original name Khadouri),  They were arrested in 2011 after Kaupthing’s collapse but not Indicted. 10  Their sister, Lisa Tchenguiz, had gone into the restaurant business with Ivana Trump by 2006. 11 (see 22 April and 26 August notes) Parent company Cengiz Insaat was founded in 1987 in Istanbul and focuses on infrastructure.12 The Arifov family probably smoothed the way with local Aktyubinsk region authorities for the Cengiz family to get the contract for building that section of the giant Western China to Western Europe road.  In return for their help, the Arifovs got a family member signed on as a “consultant.”  Also, they got control over the hiring of workers via their person Sabinina in the cadres job. Cengiz family and Sungate Port Royal Hotel  An article from July 2005 says The Sungate Port Royal was developed by the politically connected oligarch family of Mehmet Cengiz . 13  It is unclear how this report fits in with reports that Mirax Group bought the property from Mehmet Nuri Geligbag in 2007 for an inflated price of 370 million Euros, mostly in cash, then sold the hotel back to the same man in 2010 for only 12.5 million Euros, a 95% loss.14  As we recall, the hotel was administered by the Rixos hotel chain, and Sater boasted about his work on it.

The Panama Papers show Cengiz family’s Russia and China ties  Note: The material from the Panama Papers cannot be used in a law enforcement investigation because it is privileged attorney client material. Any evidence deriving from it could be thrown out in court as “fruit ofthe poisonous tree.”  According to Panama Papers documents cited in Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Mehmet Cengiz and his brother Ekrem hold shares in MEC Metal Equipment Consultancy Co. via Bonito International Inc. MEC paid over $3mln to a Vremax Properties company in June 2008 for “market studies and analysis related to the metals, mining and construction sectors in Russia and China.” 15 Possible Arif family relationship to the Cengiz clan? I considered the possibility that Gulnara (Julia) Arif’s maiden name was Cengiz.  This was worthy of consideration because her middle initial on some American people-search databases was “C.” There is no letter “C” in the Cyrillic alphabet, but there is one in the Turkish alphabet.  However, Gulnara is not a widespread Turkish name16; it is more Central Asian.  Searches for Gulnara Cengiz ("Гюльнара Дженгиз" "Дженгиз Гюльнара" "Ченгиз Гюльнара" "Чингиз Гюльнара" "Гюльнара Ченгиз" "гульнара ченгиз" "ченгиз гульнара")  yielded only one Facebook page with no information on it17, plus one Gulnara who had married an Ahmet Cengiz who apparently works for Turkish construction company Enka Insaat in Moscow.

AMC Castle Finance appears to be the asset management company of UkrSibBank,46 which was associated with BNP Paribas.47 Yaroslav Yaroslavovich Mykuliak (Микуляк Ярослав Ярославович) Social media: A ymykuliak Facebook page contains no personal information, just some links to favorite pages, including inMotion hosting and other Ukrainian-language sites. Phone number: probably he was NOT affiliated with a massage parlor.  The phone number appearing on a whois listing for kronos-capital.biz, 757-4900890, is in Virginia Beach.  Since about 2010 that number has belonged to an Asian massage parlor.  Another Internet service provider, U Little, appears with the same address and phone number as the massage parlor in one entry on a page dated 2010. It is unclear whether that page was up-to-date.  Year-by-year Google searches for that number yielded nothing from 1995 to 2005 and one entry for In Motion Hosting in 2006. More recently InMotion hosting has a different phone number. So it does not appear to have shared the 757-490-0890 phone number at the same time as the massage parlor. Mykuliak worked for InvestUkraine, Kronos, Castle Finance, Bank Austria, Raiffeisen, and Ladenburg Thalmann A Yaroslav Mykuliak was also Director of Research and Project Development for the InvestUkraine Ukrainian state enterprise as of 2009, according to a brochure on the kronos-capital.biz site.48 He is or was a Principal at Kronos Capital LLC, according to an undated pipl.com profile.49 Before that his jobs were as follows:  46 http://www.terrafood.ua/en/company/management/Antonina Dobrovolska/ 47 http://www.naymz.com/institution/ukrsibbank/bnp/paribas/group%2C/ass et/management/company/%E2%80%9Ccastle/finance%E2%80%9D/%28co rporate/centre%29/156706; https://www.facebook.com/tanya.legos; www.gulfjobseeker.com/uploads/Reg 14000 15999/91656 cvpreview.doc; https://hh.ua/resume/2ad7cc3000000f20d40039ed1f736563726574?query =%21%28hr+manager%29 48 https://web.archive.org/web/20130516232622/http://kronos capital.biz/office/Work.Docs/InvestUkraine Presentation Oct.2009 En ym.ppt 49 https://pipl.com/search/?q=Yaroslav+Mykuliak&l=UA&sloc=UA%7CNone%7CNon e&fage=&savef=1&in=46 9 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000002 20180618-0000398 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.       Director Corporate Finance at Castle Finance Asset Management (20042006) Senior Associate at CA IB Corporate Finance (2003-2004) (part of Bank Austria).50 Project Manager at Raiffeisen Investment (2002-2003) Associate at CA IB Ukraine (2002-2003) Head of Research at Ladenburg Thalmann (1998-1998) Analyst at Atlantik East (1997-1998) Mykuliak has smarts and an Odessa connection, according to other sources:     He obtained an undergraduate and a master’s degree from Kyiv Mohyla Academy in 1997 and 2000, respectively, according to his Pipl profile.

Gulnara bought a 2027 Emmons Ave parking garage in 1998 and Emmons Avenue Realty in 1999. Did they take it over, or were they partnering with the earlier people who had fought to develop the plaza? Also, what was the Arifs’ relationship with Levin, who bought it and sought to build it higher after Hurricane Sandy? Did the Arifs perhaps stillretain influence in the project? Who were the “group of European and local investors” behind Levin?

From the 1 July report Trump connection to soccer, hotels, Italy, Colombia, Monaco: Proto Group and Doyen’s Erick Thohir Agent Jorge Mendes’ prime protégé, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, supposedly bought a hotel in Monaco in January 2016 for 140 million euros [that’s much less than the cost ofRybolovlev’s apartment!] . This was announced in January 2016 by the British real estate agency Proto Group, in which Donald Trump is a shareholder along with 41 year old Italian real estate magnate Alessandro Proto.  The announcement said the Monaco mansion he bought was just a few steps from Trump’s residence {Keyword searches fail to yield a Trump residence in Monaco}  Also it says Rinaldo had invested 37 million Euros in four hotels to which he gave the same label as his clothing line, CR7 tied with the Portuguese company Pestana. They were in New York, Madrid, Lisbon, and the Portuguese town of Funchal.  In August 2015 he had paid 16.5 million euros for a high class apartment in Trump Tower, New York. Elsewhere it was reported that Alessandro Proto had been the original owner of the Trump Tower loft bought by Cristiano Ronaldo.”1 Ronaldo denied Proto Group’s claims “Ronaldo strenuously denied that and other suggestions of buying a favela in Brazil to give back to residents and a Monaco hotel.” His representative said a court case had been lodged in Italy for misuse of his name. “Proto hit back in a stinging statement released on Sunday night.” They said they had lodged a slander case in Madrid.2 In March 2016 the Proto Group announced that Cristiano Rinaldo had donated the apartment to his Moroccan friend, Badr Hari.3 They include photos 1 http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/cristiano-ronaldo-buy-a-hotel-worth-e140m-in-monte-carlowith-the-help-of-donald-trump/ 2 Jack Gaughan, Cristiano Ronaldo could face £7.8m court battle after being accused of ‘slander and false statements’ by real estate firm who claim he bought Trump Tower apartment, 21 March 2016, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article 3502986/Cristiano Ronaldo face 7 8m court battle accused slander false statements real estate firm claim bought Trump Tower apartment.html Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000408 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.   Proto Group seems to be implying an intimate relationship between Cristiano Rinaldo and Badr Hari. In March, after hearing that Rinaldo planned to sue them for alleged false statements about his business dealings, a Proto representative said, “….Probably, Cristiano is upset because we haven't reached a deal with him. Cristiano Ronaldo is used to having the world at his feet, but we don't work that way. It will be fun to see him in a proceeding that exposes many details, including those of his private life."4 Alessandro Proto has a checkered past and makes often-questionable claims.  Alessandro was arrested in Milan in 2013 and investigated by Italian courts for suspected market rigging. He was considered a flight risk, as he has another residence in Switzerland. 5  He has also claimed to have bought a Greek island along with Warren Buffett, which Buffett denies. 6  Proto also claims to be the person who inspired the lead character in Fifty Shades ofGrey..7 Another claim involving Proto, Trump, and Doyen’s Erick Thohir is also controversial. In February 2016, “Spanish papers claim Inter have offered Atletico Madrid Coach Diego Simeone €20m per year thanks to Donald Trump. The quite remarkable and frankly improbable story appeared in today’s edition of Sport.   They suggest Inter President Erick Thohir has targeted Simeone as the ideal tactician due to his past success as a player at the club…. The Nerazzurri are struggling with the Financial Fair Play regulations, but Sport insist there is a way around that.

Publishing Bank Statements is just another way to help FIFA in their compliance activities and the Malta Financial Services Authority in their investigation against Doyen’s irregular activities.” They say they did not obtain the material through hacking. Evidence of this is that Doyen filed a complaint alleging hacking in October 2015, but FootballLeaks continues to have new information from after that time. o “We have a variety of sources who supply us with the contracts and agreements,” explained “John” in 9 February interview.16 They claim they are not acting on behalf of a rival team. “we were happy to hear that FIFA TMS General Manager Mark Goddard checks our website, and uses the information for their compliance activities.” Sporting Lisbon and Doyen did try to stop their revelations. “Rogério Bravo, a Portuguese Police Chief Inspector is a very good friend of Nélio Lucas (Doyen’s CEO) and he was pressuring the Attorney General's Office to share all the details about the investigation. In fact Doyen is only using the police investigation to get to us, and they hired a private intelligence agency (Marclay Associates) to do the dirty job….. o “they are on the field searching everywhere as they want to stop this at any cause. The Big Bosses in Turkey and Kazakhstan are really angry, and they want to silence us as fast as possible…” o “The bosses of the Doyen Group [are] the Arif family, one of the richest families in Turkey, with ties to Donald Trump and the Turkish President.” o Someone calling himself Artem Lobuzov emailed FootballLeaks asking them to sell the information. They refused. 14 FIFA TPO [third party ownership] sanctions, 29 March 2016, https://footballleaks2015.wordpress.com/2016/03/29/1033/ 15 Ron Ulrich interview with FootballLeaks, We’ve got more than 500 GB of documents, 2 Feb 2016, http://www.11freunde.de/interview/interview football leaks; http://www.11freunde.de/interview/interview football leaks/page/1; http://www.11freunde.de/interview/interview football leaks/page/2 16 Rafael Buschmann, Michael Wulzinger, Interview with Football Leaks: 'Football Is a Paradise for Corruption', 9 Feb 2016, http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/interview with football leaks about corruption in football a 1076192.html Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000411 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.    o Later, the Daily Mirror reported that an Artem Lobuzov [or Louzov] had contacted Doyen’s Nelio Lucas, pressuring him to pay in order for the information not to be released. The FootballLeaks representative denies being behind this: “don’t you think that is strange that only Doyen Sports claims they were victims of blackmailing?! That all sounds like a really desperate attempt to discredit Football Leaks.” Even their Russian server was not a refuge. “Our Russian provider closed our cloud and then showed us documents from this company, which had massively pressured them to do it.” In April 2016, FootballLeaks wrote that they were suspending their activity, and the reasons would become obvious in a May Der Spiegel article. The FootballLeaks website currently gives an email address @yandex.ru Agent Jorge Mendes hired an industrial and technological espionage firm, who are working “day and night” to find and cut off the source of leaked documents, according to a report from February 2016.17 Mendes was expanding in China. Guo Guangchang, owner of the Fosun funds, invested in Gestifute through a subsidiary, Foyo, according to January 2016 reports.  The 18 January ceremony in Shanghai was attended by Mendes’ top players, Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Rinaldo.  This connection between the Fosun fund and soccer teams raised possibilities for other business links; Chinese telecoms giant Huawei (who already sponsors Milan) and e-commerce company Alibaba could make deals with other European companies through their tie with Fosun.18 19  This look eastward makes sense for Mendes, as he was under pressure in Europe.  Fosun’s interests range “from real estate to the steel industry, from commerce to insurance.”  One problem: Guo Guangchang disappeared for a time in January as part of anti-corruption investigations. The turn toward China resembled that of Sergey Millian, who increasingly in recent months has advocated three-way Russia-US-China trade. 17 http://www.elconfidencial.com/deportes/futbol/2016 02 11/gestifute jorge mendes football leaks fichajes 1150596/ 18 Anthony Alyce, Comment le super agent Jorge Mendes compte-t-il s’attaquer au marché chinois ?, 20 Jan 2016, http://www.ecofoot.fr/implantation jorge mendes marche chinois 599/ 19 19 gennaio 2016, Le mani di Jorge Mendes sul business della Cina di Marco Iaria , http://footballspa.gazzetta.it/2016/01/19/le mani di jorge mendes sul business della cina/ Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000412 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. English-language Summary of Doyen’s structure and modus operandi, based on 6 months of FootballLeaks. 20 A Netherlands based sports law blogger wrote in April 2016, “Thanks to footballleaks, we now know how Doyen operates, we have a precise idea of its turnover, its return on investments and the pool of clubs with which it signed a TPO agreement. Moreover, we have a good understanding of the contractual structure used by Doyen in those deals. This blog will offer a brief synthesis and analysis of this data.” [Much is based on FootballLeaks’ “Map of Deals”21] I. A. Doyen’s “geoeconomics” The Iberian base B. Doyen’s internationalization (Netherlands-based FC Twente; Latin America; littleknown Belgian club Seraing United possibly as “as a legal Trojan horse to support Doyen’s legal challenge against FIFA’s TPO ban in front of Belgian courts.” II. Doyen’s Contractual System A. Doyen’s guarantee: the Put Option or Free Agency Fee B. The ‘Reasonable Transfer Offer’ and Doyen’s influence on the transfer policy of clubs C. Doyen’s double game as an agent Conclusion: “Doyen’s business model is smart and has to be acknowledged as a cynical embrace of the intrinsic logic of FIFA’s transfer system…. Doyen’s head, Nelio Lucas, is no criminal. There is no indication that he engages in match fixing or money laundering. He is a dead set investor hunting for the grail: secure financial returns on investments….. This does not imply that this business model should go on, however…..

An Orhan Arifov was related to Tevfik Arif in his various towns on Long Island, according to people search databases. This person’s age is given variously as 49 or 59, meaning he would have been born in 1957 or 1967. Ifone ofthese dates is correct, he would be more likely a brother or cousin than a son.  One Orhan Arifov in New York is 21 years old, bor (b)(6) .23 He appears to be the same person who says he lives in the Bronx. Both have ties to Bitola, Macedonia. 2425 Refik Arif/ Rafik Murtazayevich Arifov A Rafik Murtazayevich Arifov is listed in undated databases as living in the village of Novovoskresenovka, Dzhambyl oblast, Kazakhstan. He was bor (b)(6) , according to the visible search results for the entry.26 (It appears on several random looking websites like oxran.site, and the actual file is zipped. I did not risk unzipping it) This is the same birth month as the Refik Arif of Doyen and the Refik Arif who heads real estate companies in France. It is quite possible these are all the same person.  Novovoskresenovka is not just any village. It is on the border between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.  Smuggling has been rampant across this border for years, as Kazakhstan has been a member of the Customs Union with Russia, while Kyrgyzstan has been a member of the World Trade Organization and neighbors China.27  In one recent case police caught a man smuggling three kilograms of heroin across the border in this area.28  The village’s name changed in 2006 to Andas batyr,29 so the directory entry for Arifov must predate 2006. It is unclear whether this is the same person who lived i (b)(6) , te (b)(6) , in another undated directory. He appears to live there alone. Russian connection: Panama Papers Note: The material from the Panama Papers cannot be used in a law enforcement investigation because it is privileged attorney client material.

OFFICE 3, 17 BOLSHAYA BRONNAYA STR. 123104 MOSCOW RUSSIA.” Its jurisdiction is listed as BVI. Its intermediary, ATM Alliance Limited, is an intermediary for twelve companies.32  Another shareholder of Durango Estates Limited is Tony Kyprianu.33 He is registered at the address Ghazi Hammoud Building; Australia Street; Raouche; Beirut; Lebanon.34 A search for Merlin Trading yielded a real estate company in Bulgaria. Unclear whether this is the same company as Arif’s.  Address: СОФИЯ, Улица: Н.

Славище 1, ет. 1, ап. 2 and says it does business in a broad range of fields, including real estate.37  Seventeen Years for Soviet Trade Ministry? Tevfik Arif’s official biographies say he worked seventeen years for the hotels administration of the Soviet Ministry of Trade and Commerce, or the Foreign Trade Ministry. Sometimes it says he was an economist for this body.  If he moved to Kazakhstan in about 1995, and set up in the US in 1999, then if he actually worked for that ministry he probably did so starting between 1978 and 1982.  I looked up online information about the structure of the Soviet trade ministries a that time, and also about the Uzbek, Kazakh and Kirgiz Soviet Republicss 30 31 https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/nodes/12170030 https://panamadb.org/officer/michael andrew gray 12117247 32 https://panamadb.org/intermediary/atm-alliance-limited 11012766 https://panamadb.org/entity/durango-estates-limited 10110974 34 https://panamadb.org/officer/tony-kyprianou 12110617 35 МЕРЛИН ТРЕЙДИНГ ООД - Софсправка, www.sofspravka.com/?go=card&p=profile&cardId=1160032000 33 36 http://tr.bivol.bg/view.php?guid=39243FF2E80ECB1CB753FCBF0E907DFC0D901FC16A0B6405E3 7EB3C72275EAE3 37 Държавен вестник, брой 79 от 9.IX , http://www.ciela.net/svobodna zona darjaven vestnik/issue/313/unofficial…..Софийският градски съд на основание чл. 6 във връзка с чл. 119, ал. 2 ТЗ и § 5 ЗДЛ с решение от 5.VI.2007 г. по ф.д. № 7385/92 вписва промени за “Мерлин трейдинг Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000416 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. subsidiary of that ministry. (Since his apparent brother lived on the border of the Kazakh and Kyrgyz republics, Tofik might have served in the latter) The patents we have seen for chromium based leatherworking processes actually make sense if he were an economist in the trade ministry. In those patents, applied for in the late 1990s, he is listed as coming from Kazakhstan. Hotel management in Soviet days was under four agencies: The State Committee for Foreign Tourism (GosKomInTurist); the Central Trade Union Council [presumably for workers’ sanatoria]; municipal services; and youth organizations.38 Responsibility for the Uzbek SSR’s tourism industry was scattered among tourism and sports organizations; state agencies that had their own rest homes and resorts; the Communist Party, Komsomol and trade unions; and collective farms, and it generally received low priority from officials.39 A website on the history of the central Soviet Ministry of Trade gives no mention of hotels or the hospitality industry. 40 If he worked for the Uzbek SSR Trade Ministry, he might have been hired by Mirabror Usmanov, who became one of Uzbekistan’s richest people and the President of the Uzbek National Olympic Committee in 2013.41 He may know Uzbek crime boss Gafur Rakhimov, who helped raise money for the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Possibly he worked for the Ministry of Foreign Trade. If so, he would have been hired by Nikolay Semenovich Patolichev, who served them from 1958 to 1985. Patolichev served as a Supreme Soviet deputy from Tashkent, although he did not originate in Uzbekistan.42 He may have gotten to know Arifov there. If he worked for the central USSR Ministry of Trade, he was probably hired by Aleksandr Ivanovich Struyev, who held the post from 1965 to 1983.

Cengiz/ Tchenguiz family, Rixos, FL Group, and Ivanka Trump An article from July 2005 says The Sungate Port Royal was developed by the politically connected oligarch family of Mehmet Cengiz. The family is in the aluminum business as well as construction. The hotel aimed for the domestic AND RUSSIAN market. It employed Russian speaking Kyrgyzstani and Tatar women at the reception desk.45  It is unclear how this report fits in with reports that Mirax Group bought the property from Mehmet Nuri Geligbag in 2007 for an inflated price of 370 million Euros, mostly in cash, then sold the hotel back to the same man in 2010 for only 12.5 million Euros, a 95% loss.46 I considered whether the Mehmet Cengiz family is related to the Iranian born, UK based Iraqi Jewish securities dealers, Robert and Vincent Tchenguiz (original name Khadouri) who had borrowed heavily from the Kaupthing and Landsbanki banks in Iceland. 0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87; http://www.businesspress.ru/newspaper/article mId 4824 aId 372574.html 44 https://vk.com/asdem; www.politec.ru/hotel.asp?id=32; http://www.asdembeach.com.tr pegast.com.ua/ru/agency/hotels/turkey/kemer/camyuva/labada beach hotel 4897 45 http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/150 milyon dolarlik sungate sasirtiyor 38746748 46 Миллиардные выводы "Миракса": Деньги российских дольщиков растворяются за рубежом посредством лопнувших международных проектов компании, from Versia, 1 March 2010, http://www.versia.ru/articles/2010/mar/01/innovacii polonskogo, reprinted in www.compromat.ru/page 28889.htm; imperfect English translation, “Billions of Conclusions by Mirax,” [“conclusions” is a mistranslation for a Russian word meaning taking money out ofsomewhere] , 17 March 2011, http://rumafia.com/news.php?id=16 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000418 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.    They were arrested in 2011 after Kaupthing’s collapse but not Indicted. 47 Their sister, Lisa Tchenguiz, had gone into the restaurant business with Ivana Trump by 2006. 48 It seems unlikely that they are related to the Mehmet Cengiz family. The Panama Papers show Cengiz family’s Russia and China ties Note: The material from the Panama Papers cannot be used in a law enforcement investigation because it is privileged attorney client material. Any evidence deriving from it could be thrown out in court as “fruit ofthe poisonous tree.” According to Sueddeutsche Zeitung, “The Panama Papers show that Mehmet Cengiz and his brother Ekrem hold power of attorney for a company named Bonito International Inc., which is registered on Niue Island in the South Pacific.  “Via this company, the brothers hold shares in MEC Metal Equipment Consultancy Co., a company registered in Great Britain. Until now, MEC was a complete mystery it wasn’t clear which purpose it served, or what type of business it did.  “A document found in the Panama Papers contains an MEC Metal Equipment & Consultancy Co. contract for, among other things, “market studies and analysis related to the metals, mining and construction sectors in Russia and China.” The contract partner is “Vremax Properties Limited”, another unknown company registered in the British Virgin Islands.  “The two page contract barely includes any mention of actual consulting services, but lists a payment of USD 3.07 million. The transaction was apparently made at the end of June 2008, when the money was wired to a Vremax Properties account at a private bank in Switzerland. Whether or not consulting services were provided remains unclear.  “However, the set up could be a means of using a company to divert public funds into one’s own pockets. In Turkey, it is said that no one has been awarded as many public contracts in the past 14 years as Mehmet Cengiz.”49 Keywords searched: x Orhan Arifov, Orhan Arif, Орхан Арифов Орхан Ариф x People.yandex.ru for орхан арифов no results x "Орхан (Арифов OR Ариф)" (Тевфик OR Тофик) Labada Hotel x Муртазаевич Арифов x Нововоскресеновка 47 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent Tchenguiz 48 http://www.contactmusic.com/ivana trump/news/ivana trumps restaurant empire 1003283 49 Hannes Munzinger and Luisa Seeling, Dangerously Close, [summer 2016], http://panamapapers.sueddeutsche.de/articles/577b953efc10f40451223651/ Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000419 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. x минпромторг (ссср OR узбек) "арифов" "Министерство торговли" (СССР OR Узбек) гостиничный ("Министерство торговли СССР" OR "Министр внешней торговли ссср") Узбек гостиничный ("Министерство торговли СССР" OR "Министр внешней торговли ссср") (киргизской OR кыргызской OR казахской) (гостиничный OR гостеприимство) индустрию гостеприимства "Узбекской сср" "министерство * торговли ссср" (гостиничный OR гостеприимство) министерство "торговли узбекской сср" управление (гостиничный OR гостеприимство) Other Monaco/Rybolovlev update: Basketball team owner Sergey Vladimirovich Dyadechko and his boss, Monaco exile Yuriy Ivanyushchenko  As we saw in the 24 June report, “De Bruyn provided entrée to the Prince for another former Soviet businessman, Sergey Dyadechko, to head AS Monaco’s basketball team. Former owner of a basketball team in Donetsk, President Yanukovych’s hometown, Dyadechko fled Ukraine in 2012 after an apparent assassination attempt, following years of scandal involving the disappearance of funds from his Rodovid bank and the mysterious deaths of key witnesses.50 Correction: it is spelled Rodovid (Russian spelling Rodovod), not Rodovik In July a Ukrainian crime periodical wrote, “Sergey Dyadechko Saved Oligarch Ivanyushchenko’s Bank from Liquidation,” referring to Yanukovych friend and reputed crime figure Yuriy Ivanyushchenko (Yura Yenakiyevskiy). 51  Dyadechko, who nominally owns the Soyuz bank since Ivanyushchenko fled in June 2014, convinced a court to reject the National Bank’s second decision to liquidate Soyuz. An appeal by the National Bank is still outstanding.  Soyuz bank has been in the SBU’s sights as well for financing terrorism. The pharmaceuticals company Niko, owned by Sergey’s mother, Tamara Ivanovna Dyadechko, moved its offices to Kyiv after the separatist takeover of its Makeyevka headquarters but it continues to produce in Makeyevka and to pay taxes to the separatist authorities. Some of its products make their way through the Line of Demarcation and are sold in Ukraine proper.

He and others pumped some 32 million hryven out of Rodovik into Soyuz. Yuriy Savitskiy, General Director of Rodovid Asset Management, helped. Dyadechko also helped finance the Antimaidan movement and the Berkut police who beat Maidan protestors, according to law enforcement sources. He also has reportedly helped finance the Donbass separatists. Soyuz bank also was a key link in a chain money laundering banks that included Donetsk based Konversbank, which owned by Ivanyushchenko partner Reinis Tumovs [Рэйнис Тумовс], who was joined in 2011 by Russian oligarch Vladimir Antonov. After Antonov’s arrest in London, Tumovs changed the name to CityCommerce Bank (Городской коммерческий банк) and transferred funds to ProFin Bank. Ivanyushchenko and his ally Dyadechko have fought hard to prevent Soyuz’ bank’s closure partly because Ivanyushchenko hopes to return to Ukraine someday. He has allies in the Ukrainian government who lobby for him, so court cases against him keep falling apart. As a result he is free to visit his family in Monaco and use his assets throughout Europe. Dyadechko, Ivanyushchenko and Ivan Abramov are also linked to the GlobalMoney payments system, the only one that received an SBU license during Yanukovych’s administration. A former finance minister under Yanukovych also also controlled a share in the bank.52 Ivan Avramov has been called Ivanyushchenko’s criminal “overseer” for the Odessa region. Ivanyushchenko continues to profit from the Seventh Continent market near Odessa.53 Dyadechko, described as a “key specialist in money laundering” is a director of Adan Trade Limited, 122 126 Tooley St, London, a modest company whose other director also serves as the front person masking Ivanyushchenko’s control over Seventh Continent.54 Dyadechko’s and Soyuz bank’s success in resisting liquidation could weaken the National Bank’s authority and undermine Ukraine’s entire financial system. Indeed, it is a weapon that former Yanukovych people could use in seizing back power from the Maidan forces, warn the Ukrainian crime periodical editors. They say an important step in breaking the power of the Yanukovych family’s remaining financial tentacles is the recent arrest of former first deptuy Tax Service chair Andrey Golovach. He has information about that corrupt former system and about money laundering banks like Soyuz. 55 52 http://crime-ua.com/statti/20151112/GlobalMoney http://crime-ua.com/statti/20160607/gres 54 http://crime-ua.com/statti/20160607/gres 53 Финансовая «пятая колонна».

From “Trump Hollywood Residents 1 September 2016” The Dzhabrailov brothers have several links with Tevfik Arif of Bayrock.  We have seen that Umar is a friend of Telman Ismailov, who apparently intervened on Arif’s behalf after the Turkish yacht orgy of 2010 and has attended other Arif events (27May16report)  Huseyn Dzhabrailov also attended a school of leather and fur working in the 1970s and worked in that industry in the Udmurt region of the RSFSR in 1979, according to his official biographies. Working in that industry, he may have encountered Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov, who published patents related to leather working and whom we have shown is almost certainly our Tevfik Arif. Another possible link with Tevfik Arif is that Eli Dzhabrailov sold his Trump Hollywood unit to Carina Investments LLC.  This company shares a name with a network of stores run by a Siberian company called RIF Invest. 56 That company’s name, in turn, resembles the RIF International owned by Tevfik Arif.  Carina Investments LLC opened in 2013 57 and runs out of the home of its manager, Frederico Bomeny, whose address variously appears a (b)(6) or a (b)(6) , in a residential neighborhood (b)(6) .58 A company by that name also exists at 7593 Turnberry Lane in Stanley, NC.59 Bomeny also founded the Cygnus Investment Group LLC in 2013 60 and Libra LLC in 2014.61  Its director could be the same Frederico Figueiredo Bomeny who was sanctioned in Brazil apparently for hindering the investigation of irregularities in a real estate deal. 62Another person named in that case was a Gilberto Bomeny, and the 56 http://rif invest.ru/ listings.findthecompany.com/l/32676793/Carina-Investments-Llc in Boca Raton FL 58 pbpropertydata.com/property/id/MFOYK4GTT 59 http://businessbay.us/carina investments l l c stanley nc 28164.html 57 60 http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquiryty pe=OfficerRegisteredAgentName&directionType=PreviousList&searchNameOrder= BOMENYFREDERICO%20L130001207671&aggregateId=flal l13000120767 ba9738fb 5ce3 4b12 9b74 5ed726377085&searchTerm=Bomeny%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%2 0%20%20%20%20Marilia%20%20%20%20%20%20%20B&listNameOrder=BOM ENYCRISTIANE%20V170571 61 http://www.bizapedia.com/people/FREDERICO BOMENY.html 62 http://www.cvm.gov.br/export/sites/cvm/decisoes/anexos/0002/4614 0.pdf PROCESSO ADMINISTRATIVO SANCIONADOR CVM Nº 18/03, INDICIADOS: Allan Humberto de Mello, Bruno de Mello Bomeny, Frederico Figueiredo Bomeny, Geraldo Barbosa de Oliveira,Gilberto Bousquet Bomeny, Hermano Darwin Vasconcellos Mattos, João da Rocha Lima Jr., Mufid Adib Kfouri, Unitas Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S/A Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000422 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. Frederico Bomeny in US people search databases has a possible relative by that name.63 Eli Dzhabrailov runs several health- and real estate-related companies in Florida together with other people from the former Soviet Union.64 From the September 2 Report Bayrock sources of funding, continued I continued to seek roundabout ways to understand Bayrock’s sources of funding, including attempts to find the alleged Arif family empire of assets in chrome, energy and other sectors that was alleged in reporting about Doyen Sports. I have found additional evidence that Tofik and his brothers share the patronymic Murtazayevich. That and the coincidence of birthdates has allowed me to match Refik and Vakif Arif who own hotels, French real estate and Doyen Sports with people who also have had addresses in Moscow and in a smuggling town on the Kazakh Kyrgyz border. This in turn continues to chip away at the question into whether Tofik indeed was born in Kazakhstan, as he claims on his official bios, or whether he started life as a boss of an Uzbek crime group, as some reports claim. The reality may be totally unexpected. I have uncovered hints of Tofik’s involvement with military and law enforcement research institutes Tofik Arifov’s Patents: Link with Military and Law Enforcement Research? The preceding evidence seems to confirm that Tevfik Arif is the same person as Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov, who took out several patents for chromium based leather processing.65 (One spells his name Tfik) 66 63 64 www.bizapedia.com/people/FLORIDA/NORTH MIAMI/ELIDZHABRAILOV.html; https://www.corporationwiki.com/Florida/Miami/eli dzhabrailov/66669291.aspx 65 http://allpatents.ru/author/kz arifov t m.html 66 http://www.findpatent.ru/patent/214/2149902.html Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000423 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. Having one’s name on a patent in Russia does not necessarily mean that one is a research scientist oneself. Heads of laboratories or institutes sometimes are included on patents as a badge of honor. Tofik Arifov may have had either a research or an administrative position. Exploring his fellow patent holders and the circumstances of the patents, we find connections with the world of military and law enforcement research institutes, as well as the names of other chrome-related companies that might have provided funding for Bayrock. Patent holder Karapet Mkhitarovich Zurabyan appears to have been born in 1925 67, and Makarov Zemlyanskiy (below) has been publishing since the 1950s. One would expect them to be long retired. Both, however, appear as advisors on a 2005 dissertation.68 Fellow patent holder Ya.Ya. Makarov Zemlyanskiy was an eminent scholar at the the Moscow State Institute of Design and Technologies.  This institute used to be called the Moscow Technological Institute of Light Industry.69  Chemists from that institute designed filters for gas masks.70  Another name on one of Arifov’s chromium patents, Galina Fedorovna Yesina, is a professor at the same university. 71  Makarov Zemlyanskiy has been publishing since the 1950s72  He and Zurabyan were apparently affiliated with the All Union Extramural Institute of Textile and Light Industry when they applied for a patent in 1984. 73 Another fellow patent holder, Nina Anatolyevna Okhotnikova, worked at one time for an institution described as “Post Office Box А 7125” (ПРЕДПРИЯТИЕ ПЯ А 7125) as of 1981.74 67 nomerorg.com/moskva/lastName ЗУРАБЯН pagenumber 0.html ЯРУТИЧ АЛЕКСАНДР ПЕТРОВИЧ, Российском заочном институте текстильной и легкой промышленности, 2005, Автореферат диссертации по теме "Дубление кож с применением сухих хромовых дубителей, обладающих улучшенными кожевенно технологическими свойствами", http://tekhnosfera.com/dublenie kozh s primeneniem suhih hromovyh dubiteley obladayuschih uluchshennymi kozhevenno tehnologicheskimi svoystvami. 68 69 http://wikimapia.org/507222/Moscow-State-University-of-Design-and-Technology 70 https://www.mgudt.ru/vuz/rectorat/rector/museum/index.aspx http://www.kstu.ru/servlet/contentblob?id=88321 72 http://chem21.info/info/66927/; https://istina.msu.ru/workers/2623166/ 73 Заявка 3771335, 04.07.1984, published 30 April 1986, http://patents.su/2 1227159 podoshva dlya obuvi.html 71 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000424 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.   PO Boxes were euphemisms for secret military or national security installations. That POB number also appeared on patents together with other POBs and with institutions like the Novotroitskiy Chrome Factory.75 As of 2000 and in 2014 the same Okhotnikova worked for Gibraltar registered Chromachem International (КРОМАКЕМ (ИНТЕРНЕШНЛ) ЛИМИТЕД (GI)) 76 and for Valmore Commercial.  She represented these companies at a general meeting of the Aktyubinsk Factory of Chrome Compounds, in which those companies are major shareholders.77 Also representing those two companies at the meeting was Yelena Vladimirovna Sabinina.  Keyword searches for ChromaChem International Ltd., "хромахим" казахстан and Кромакем, yielded little information.78 The following information was added after August 30  The four major stockholders of the Aktyubinsk Factory of Chrome Compounds ChromaChem, Valmore Commercial, Archem, and Capella Invest may be owned by the same unnamed beneficial owner. They all registered in Belgium in 1996 or 1997. Valmore and Chromachem have or had the address Avenue Louise 209A 1050 Ixelles (Elsene). Since 1 October 2014 the representative and manager of Valmore and Chromachem is Joannes Raphael Maria Van de Kimmenade ).

Yet another fellow patent holder, Anatoliy Mikhaylovich Karas, currently heads marketing for Kulebaki metallurgy factory in the Nizhniy Novgorod region, along the Volga.82  He may also be the Anatoliy Karas who has made documentary films about the heroic Donbass miners whose strike helped hasten the end of the Soviet Union.83 That which was hidden comes to light? The fact that numerous patents were all applied for on the same day, 19 October 1998, and that some of their authors must be long retired by now suggests that the actual inventions were made long ago at the secret installations but could not be publicized at the time, and the authors were only now claiming credit for them. The Arif Brothers and Ravana According to a 2015 report in Cahiers du Football, largely based on Football Leaks, The Arif brothers who own Doyen Sports also own a holding, Ravana, based in Curaçao, comprising chrome, coal, petrol companies, as well as financial advice and investment.84  FootballLeaks provides links to documents purporting to show Doyen’s ownership. 85   Doyen Sports and Doyen Marketing Original Structure https://mega.nz/#!ccRTATrT!TiEpTEetZKKX7DIb1X 3LUc5PVLAjbGZJ97bfpHwfM4 https://mega.nz/#!cRpGVYKR!6Zf2 bPXuooueUtswHHTDvBkvA WW37wC1BA1CpPjjI 80 https://www.companytracker.be/fr/biz/valmore commercial; http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/tsv pdf/2014/10/28/14196784.pdf 81 http://www.nationalbank.kz/index.cfm?docid=3109&switch=russian&view=entity &id=25012 82 http://www.minerjob.ru/miner firms/view firm.php?firm id=4688 83 www.colta.ru/articles/cinema/10525; http://fakty.ua/220371 esli by gornyaki snova proyavili takuyu solidarnost kak v 1989 1991 godah oni vozmozhno smogli by predotvratit to chto proizoshlo na vostoke ukrainy v 2014 m The dissertation council was based at Moscow State University of Design and Technology. 84 User plumitif, http://www.cahiersdufootball.net/mobile/article-comment-doyen-sports-joue-acash-cash-6125 Doyen Sports Offshore Scheme: 2011 When it all started and who’s the investor (Part III), December 17, 2015 ~ football leaks, https://footballleaks2015.wordpress.com/2015/12/17/doyen sports 2011 quando tudo comecou e quem financiou parte i/; https://footballleaks2015.wordpress.com/2015/12/17/doyen sports 2011 part ii/; https://footballleaks2015.wordpress.com/2015/12/17/doyen sports 2011 part iii/ 85 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000426 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.      o (apparently the 25 July 2011 “loan” from Refik Arif to fellow Doyen founder Malik Ali). “Malik Ali and Refik Arif are the founders of Doyen Group in 2011.

An attempt to open the document from Firefox failed. Apparently the add ons I use for security blocked access. I was hesitant to try using a less secure browser, such as Chrome or Internet Explorer, especially because of the Kim Dotcom connection and because FootballLeaks reportedly used a Russian server. If someone else feels confident trying to open the documents using another browser, such as Chrome or Internet Explorer, I would be curious to see what they find. I did, however, find some information about the Arifs who own Ravana. Assuming Rousseau is correct that the Arifs of Doyen and Ravana are the same, however, this completes the connection between Doyen and the people who are shown to have addresses in Moscow and in a smuggling town on the Kazakh Kyrgyz border. A corporate document from Curacao describes a Ravana Private Foundation established in 2004. 86 It does not provide all the information about coal and chrome holdings etc that Cahiers du football promised, but it does provide some information on the Arifs.  Its directors and official address, Schottegatweg Oost 10 Unit A1K, seem to be typical offshore corporate services providers.  Its founding document says it is “To make distributions out of its assets to such institutions and persons as the Founder may determine and to provide financial assistance to such institutions and persons by means of loans, granting securities, annuity contracts and the like.” As a foundation, it may not “make profits by….carrying on an enterprise.”  Its “Supervisory Directors” are:  Rekif Arif [sic], bor (b)(6) in “Cambul” Kazakhstan, nationality Turkish.  Vakif Arif, bor (b)(6) . “Place of birth: Kazakstan.

Both men’s birthdates link them to people we saw in the undated Moscow and Almaty directories.87  Refik’s birthplace, whose Turkish spelling is Cambul, could also be transliterated Zhambyl or Dzhambyl. This ties in with the search result placing him in Novovoskresenovka, on the Kazakh Kyrgyz border. That town is in the Zhambyl region.  Vakif gives a confusing mix of Turkey and Kazakhstan as the place of his origin. He may have meant that he was ethnically a Meskhetian Turk and was from Kazakhstan.  If it is true that both these men are Tevfik’s brothers, one older and one younger, and if both were born in Kazakhstan, then logically Tevfik may also have been telling the truth that he was born in Kazakhstan.  Alternatively, they all had reason to lie… The brothers and Rixos Hotel Labada in Kemer Vakif and Refik’s tourism company, BİLGE TURİZM TİCARET A.Ş. (WISE TOURISM TRADE INC ), founded 29 Feb 2000, gave an address at the Solymos Hotel in the town of Camyuva, in the Kemer region of Turkey where Arif’s first hotel, the Labada, was. As we saw in an earlier report, the email address seemed to show a . Phone (242)824 57 17 or (242)824 58 00 link with Rixo (b)(6) Fax 2428245811 88 Indeed, one of the phone numbers for the company, (242)824 58 00, is the same as that of the Labada Hotel aka Asdem Beach Labada aka Barut Hotels Labada aka Rixos Otel Labada. Barut Hotels took it over in 2013. 89, which is now under new ownership, Barut. The company still appeals to Russians and Ukrainians.90 “Bayrok” company at police research institute We expanded on our earlier research on whether Arif’s Bayrock company could be related to the Turkish oligarch families Bayrak or Albayrak. We looked at various spellings of this word.  We found numerous entities with those names, ranging from villages in Ukraine and Uzbekistan; an agricultural holding and a realtor in Russia’s Bashkortostan 87 nomerorg.com/moskva/lastName АРИФОВ pagenumber 0.html http://www.sektorelrehber.com/firma/bilgeturizmticaretas.; http://www.antalyarehberi.com/firm a la r/firma.asp?orderby=&page=2184&Sear chFor=&SearchWhere= 89 http://www.baruthotels.com/ru/baruthotels/history 90 www.alekom.kiev.ua › Туризм › Турция › Кемер › Отели 88 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000428 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.      region; companies in the Tatarstan region that do construction, pharmaceuticals, and general wholesale trading; Bayrak Studio in Moscow, whose business included filmmaking, software programming, construction, and everything else; 91 and one that opened in Sevastopol, Crimea after the Russian takeover and engages in dozens of seemingly unrelated business fields.92 This large number of Bayrak entities not surprising, considering that it is a common last name and the word also appears in the names of many Soviet entities named “Red Banner” One Bayrak might be worth pursuing: Nikolay Bayrak, director of Zelenovskoye stil LLC in Ukraine, is reportedly in the mining and metals industry.93 He also has an online shop, Bayrok LLC, selling metal household goods such as kitchen knives and rice cookers,94 as well as a gadget for testing metal welds.9596 Given this abundance of Bayraks, no others stood out as possible associates of Arif’s Bayrock Group. However, I continued to toy with this idea, partly because one of the Bayrak family members in Turkey is a son in law of Recep Erdogan and Tevfik Arif may have wanted to butter him up by giving his company that name. I tried variant spellings: Beyrok, Bayrok etc. Bayrok: police research institute: Searches for variant spellings resulted in at least one striking find: companies named “Bayrok,” a name that is more distinctive and sounds more like Bayrock.  “Bayrok” is the Uzbek spelling for the shared Turkic word for “flag” or “banner.”  Substituting the letter “o” for the letter “a” is characteristic of Uzbek spellings as compared with other Turkic languages.  If Tevfik Arif named his company “Bayrock” in honor of the Turkic word for “flag,” he was choosing the Uzbek spelling.  Does this indicate he might have grown up in Uzbekistan??? One company named Bayrok is located at a police research institute outside Moscow. 91 The Moscow one was owned by Travis LLC. https://огрн.онлайн/%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B8 /417932%D0%BE%D0%BE%D0%BE %D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F %D0%B1% D0%B0%D0%B9%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA/ 92 93 https://www.prima inform.ru/cat/cc/bayrak 1159204016234 9203537534 https://ua.linkedin.com/in/николай-байрак-4b9aa859 http://bajrak.tiu.ru/; Николай Байрак, Москва, ул, ульянова дом 5 myphone.info/message/10319770 OOO quotSplav52quot.html 96 http://myphone.info/message/15218411 Ooo Bayrak Laboratoriya analiz staley i splavov Akk.html; identifying mobile phone numbe (b)(6) 94 95 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000003 20180618-0000429 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.

An expert on Soviet criminal law brought to Miami by a relative of Seydazimov, testified on his behalf in court. Karpek Kurmanov writes in his memoirs:  Kurmanov explained to the court that Seydazimov thought his previous conviction had been totally wiped away because that is how the law works in former Soviet countries.  (Kurmanov fudges dates somewhat).  Kurmanov says the initial charges against Seydazimov that he had helped assassinate Kirgiz SSR Council of Ministers chief Sultan Ibraimov had been trumped up politically. He says that after the real killer was found, drugs were planted in Seydazimov’s cell and he was given an eight year sentence.23 o In my extensive reading of more recent former Soviet criminal cases, when drugs or weapons are planted on someone, the minimum amount necessary is planted. It is unclear whether old Soviet practices are the same. o Also the original charges seem too specific to be simply invented: obtaining gold nuggets and sable skins and trading them,; illegally possessing and storing firearms; and acquiring and using narcotics, including Omnopon, which is not even clearly a drug. 24  Kurmanov also claims that after 9/11, US authorities were paying special attention to people of Asian background. At that time an “anonymous communication along Interpol lines” was circulated saying Seydazimov had hidden his past conviction. The “anonimka” turned out to have been written by a Kyrgyz police official. o A similar situation affects Alisher Usmanov and others who were arrested in Soviet times. They claim their arrests were politically motivated. When they have friendly incumbents in post Soviet positions, those friends declare the previous convictions invalid. It is hard to discern the truth.  Intriguingly, a snippet of the book version of Kurmanov’s memoir appearing in Google search results identifies Azim as a former resident of Kazakhstan, 25 whereas the online version describes him as “our former countryman.” Perhaps Kurmanov is from Kazakhstan. In any case, Azim may have lived for a time in Kazakhstan and either retained an earlier Kyrgyz passport or obtained a fake Kyrgyz passport (that country is very loose with its passports).

The record gives much detail on his current and former wives and various children. The Miami immigration court’s conclusion says the court was not allowed to look at the specifics of Azim’s original conviction in Kyrgyzstan, based on an agreement between Azim and the District Attorney of South Florida.27 Azim and Joorabchian and Brazilian soccer players? My impression from the Portuguese article was that Azim was not necessarily involved in the buying of Brazilian athletes, but rather in the move to buy Kommersant. Azim seems to have broken from Joorabchian by the time the Brazil stuff was going on.  However, Doyen Sports and by extension Arif may still be involved with Jurabchian’s activities. My earlier report talked about Doyen’s close relationship with Abramovich. And Doyen’s rep in Brazil is the guy who works with Jurabchian. Joorabchian is still doing deals with Abramovich’s Chelsea, making some observers dubious:. “Chelsea doing business with Kia Joorabchian when FIFA investigation is knocking at the door.

Tevfik Arif Arifov’s first hotel: laundering Akhmetov/Gumenyuk money? 26 https://ecf.flsd.uscourts.gov/cgi bin/DktRpt.pl?101496058455035 L 1 0 1 Judge Pedro A.

A Turkish journalist wrote in August 2005 that Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov and his close ally Igor Gumenyuk {Ihor Humenyuk], appear to have provided funds for Tamince and Arif's Rixos hotels, jewelry business etc. in the 1990s.28  (Akhmetov and Gumenyuk were powerful oligarchs of the “Donbass group” from which Viktor Yanukovych emerged. See 14Dec15Report).  It was apparently Igor who introduced Arif to Tamince.  The journalist calls Arif a businessman of Turkish descent from Kazakhstan.  He says Arif had business in Russia involving chromic oxide, was very rich, and was living in America.  He appears to say Arif was investigated for either smuggling or contamination of fuel in Turkey but was later acquitted.  Arif met Tamince in Gilan. Apparently the journalist suspects Arif and/or Gumenyuk are connected with the suspicious growth in Tamince’s jewelry business in Gilan.  This journalist worked for the publication Vatan, which at that time apparently belonged to the Dogan family, who would soon team with Trump to build a tower in Istanbul.29 “Who cofounded the Rixos chain is not a secret to anybody,” wrote a user nicknamed “Kyrgyz Daughter” in 2010 on an Azerbaijani discussion forum.  She also said “a businessman with both Kazakh and Turkish citizenship” was present at the creation of the Rixos hotel.  The forum admin replied that he had not in fact known who cofounded Rixos, until he learned from Google that “The owner is Rinat Akhmetov, but whom are you referring to as the co owner?”  More likely Kyrgyz Daughter had Tevfik Arif in mind as the Kazakh/Turkish founder and Akhmetov as the cofounder.  We have also seen a report saying Rixos belonged to “Russian, a Kazakh, a Ukrainian, and a Turk,” with Tamince being the Turk (see 14Dec15report). 30 In a September 2005 interview with the same journalist who speculated on Akhmetov’s funding of Rixos (above), Fettah Tamince appeared to say that Bilge Tourism [which Google Translate sometimes renders as "Wise Tourism"] actually owned the Labada Hotel.31 As we have seen, Tevfik Arif’s brothers own Bilge. 28 Yavuz Semerci, Is Ahmedov [sic] the real owner of Rixos? 29 Aug 2005, http://www.turizmdebusabah.com/haberprinty/rixoslarin asil sahibi ahmedov olabilir mi 22572.html 29 Asli Tunc, Media Ownership and Finances in Turkey, Nov 2015, page 11/22.

He seems to say that before Bilge Turizm got involved, the Labada Hotel was being developed by the Şirin family, with Turkish businessman Aytekin Gültekin as architect. Later Aytekin Gültekin was a co owner of Tamince’s Sembol Insaat construction company. Elsewhere the man’s name is incorrectly spelled Güldemir, and he is identified as a member of the Antalya Provincial Assembly from Recep Erdogan’s AKP party. 32 Bilge Tourism Trading Inc. (BİLGE TURİZM TİCARET A.Ş) appears in a Turkish business directory entry as owned by Refik and Vakif Arif [see “The Brothers 5 August 2016” report]. According to that entry, it was founded 29 Feb 2000. [Note that this Bilge was founded just days after Chernoy sold out his aluminum assets to Abramovich. Could he have used some ofhis money from the sale to invest in Bilge?] Tamince says that even though the Labada was called a Rixos hotel, Bilge actually handled all the business; Rixos just provided the name. Tamince claims the Labada hotel cost $3mln, but the journalist said he heard reports saying Tamince paid Arif $8 million. This suggests possible money laundering Full disclosure: there is a company called Bilge Turizm which is run by the Bilge family. It appears to be distinct from the Arifbrothers’ Bilge Tourism Trading Inc. 33 In any case, in this interview Tamince is clearly referring to the Arifbrothers’ company. Tamince and Arif also cooperated in the jewelry business: Sardis (Sardes) and Alieu and possibly Lidyo. They apparently brought in $10mln worth of jewelry but did not sell it for its full price.  Asked about a certain MD who worked for a year in the Sardis company and was investigated for some kind of contraband, Tamince says he thinks MD was acquitted.  Searches for “Frank Muller” MD reveal that there is an exclusive watch band made by Franck Muller. One ofthese was auctioned offto raise money for Muscular Dystrophy (MD), but that occurred in 2007, two years after this interview. 34 In a 2009 interview Tamince seemed to say that Arif was one of many partners, and that earlier he had been partners with a Ukrainian (presumably referring to 32 Behind the scenes of scandal, 29.09.2010 , http://www.gazeteport.com.tr/guncel/news/gp 772435 33 34 http://www.bilgeas.com.tr/tarihce.php http://www.jckonline.com/2016/01/21/franck-muller-contributes-exclusive-watch-fight-md Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000438 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.

It is unclear whether Arif had a direct relationship with Akhmetov or simply both happened to work with Tamince.35 Distancing himself from Arif after the 2010 yacht scandal, Tamince said the Labada Hotel had been transferred to him [apparently Arif] in 2007 and that they were no longer involved in any joint projects.36 However, a Turkish report seemed to say Tamince and Arif partnered in another company in 2010.37 Possible source of funds for Bayrock: Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory The 2Sept16 report provides a clue linking Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov (who we have identified as almost certainly the same person as Tevfik Arif) with the Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory.  One fellow patent holder, Nina Anatolyevna Okhotnikova, went from Soviet era work at a probably military facility called Enterprise Post Office Box A 7125, to being a representative of two companies that hold stakes in the Aktyubinsk factory, Gibraltar registered Chromachem International (КРОМАКЕМ (ИНТЕРНЕШНЛ) ЛИМИТЕД (GI)) 38 and Valmore Commercial, as of 2000 and 2014.39  As mentioned in the 2Sept16Report, the other two major shareholders of AZHS --Archem and Capella Invest may be owned by the same unnamed beneficial owner.

A plausible scenario for Tofik Arifov:  He may have been a manager at the Aktyubinsk factory in Soviet days. His name‘s appearance on the leatherworking patents could be honorary, based on his managerial position.  Like many Soviet era managers, he may have leveraged his position in the 1990s to take over shares in the factory. The Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory (www.azhs.kz) may be related to KazChrome, owned by Aleksandr Mashkevich’s ENRC.  The chrome compounds factory is located in the same industrial park as the Aktyubinsk Factory of Ferroalloys (ferrochrome.kz), which is part of ENRC’s KazChrome.44 o Both are on the same street called 312nd Rifle Division Prospect (пр. 312 стрелковой дивизии). o As described in an earlier report, KazChrome was taken over by Chernoy’s TWG in the 1990s, hiding behind a company called Japan Chrome  However, business entries treat AZHS as an independent company not under KazChrome.  AZHS’ address in the Aktobe Industrial Zone is Section 15B.45 Some KazChrome assets are sometimes listed as being in the Northwestern Industrial Zone. 40 https://www.societes-belgium.com/chromachem-international-n2b9 41 https://www.companytracker.be/fr/biz/valmore commercial; http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/tsv pdf/2014/10/28/14196784.pdf 42 http://www.nationalbank.kz/index.cfm?docid=3109&switch=russian&view=entity &id=25012 43 https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%8E%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BD %D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9 %D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4 %D1%85 %D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D1%85 %D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B5% D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9 проспект 312 Стрелковой дивизии, Промзона, Accredited subjects in Atkobe, https://www.memst.kz/kz/dktrm/aktobe/aktobe.docx; http://www.aipet.kz/otdel/zm/ru/baza predpriyatii.pdf 44 45 http://www.metaprom.ru/companies/?contact=584596 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000440 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. Claims made about Arif Richest man in Turkey? A Russian translation of the article in the Israeli periodical Ediot Akhronot, speaking about the yacht orgy scandal, calls Arif the richest person in Turkey46. It is unclear how reliable this report and translation are. Invested $15bln in Turkey? According to one Kazakh periodical’s report on the yacht scandal, Arif claimed to reporters that he had invested $15bln in Turkey. He also claimed he knew nothing about the plans for the orgy and that he simply arrived to relax for the weekend.47 Well-connected in Soviet times? Had the right to travel? The Economist’s Ed Lucas writes that Tevfik was “a well connected official back in the Soviet days, who was allowed by the Communist leaders to travel abroad, at a time when that was a privilege afforded only to senior KGB and Party officials.”48 It is unclear where this information came from. 1996 contract for a Brooklyn shopping center? Several biographies refer to this as his first agreement in the US. Could it have been the building at 2027 Emmons, where his wife’s Emmons Realty office was? That building had a dozen businesses in it.

One entry has the age “47.” This is likely a mistake.50  An “Ayla Arifova” who looks like the Ayla from the photo appears in a few social media pages.51  They say she graduated from the Waldorf School, in Garden City NJ, in 2005 and Columbia University in 2009.52 Her name appears on the Barnard commencement list as a Sociology major.53  One of Ayla Arifova’s Facebook pages said that her major at Columbia was nursing and that she was a manager at the Fin n Feather petshop (which is in Eureka, CA54, though she says she lives in New York). On that page, one of her favorites is “Yahshua Messiyah,” which appears to be a group of Jewish Christians.55  She lived in London after college.56  A company database entry for a Ms. Ayla Arif in London gave her address a (b)(6) 57 This is the address of Kronos Capital Limited.

If she were Tevfik and Gulnara’s daughter, the father would have been 34 and the mother 24 when she was born.92 Her Facebook page shows her wearing a white dress that could be a wedding dress. 93 A Vebidoo and Instagram page appear to show the same Ayla holding a baby.94 Her username on that page is ayla2209. A search for ayla2209 produces evidence of friendship with another politically involved rich Russian émigré, but also a perplexing reference to terrorism.  Mariya Baybakova (Baibakova) the Hilary Clinton fundraiser whose father, industrialist Oleg Baybakov, is a director of Mikhail Prokhorov’s Oneksim Development, partnered with shady Maksim Finskiy, and bought up Miami real estate in 2014 (see 30July16 and 2Aug16 Reports) had attended ayla2209’s wedding.95 o Baibakova’s art gallery page is one of Ayla’s Facebook favorites, along with Ivanka Trump’s page. o Baibakova’s photo of Ayla and her groom appears furtive but shows the luxury of the décor. o The photo appears in Baibakova’s Instagram gallery right after photos of the Artspace Dinner at London’s Institute of Contemporary Art, which apparently took place 4 June 2013. Anna Machkevitch (related to ENRC’s Mashkevich?) played a prominent role in photos of that dinner.96 The order of photos in her gallery may not be exactly chronological, because something dated 8.06.2013 appears before the photos of the Artspace dinner.97 92 Gulnara was born 1963 https://www.myheritage.com/research?action=query&formId=master&formMode =1&qname=Name+fn.Gulia+fnmo.1+fnmsvos.1+fnmsmi.1+ln.Arifova+lnmo.3+lnmsd m.1+lnmsmf3.1+lnmsrs.1 https://m.facebook.com/people/Ayla-Arifova/117277; http://www.vebidoo.com/arifova/ayla/info; https://www.instagram.com/ayla2209/; http://igbox.co/ayla2209/ 95 https://www.buro247.ru/instagram/baibakovart/2297 93 94 96 Captain Planet, New York, 05.14.13, http://artforum.com/diary/id=40959; https://www.instagram.com/p/aOagjxNfyR/; http://www.rexfeatures.com/livefeed/y1332b2c34/artspace dinner at the ica, lon don 97//www.buro247.ru/instagram/baibakovart/2285#media Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000448 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. “The bride and groom @ayla2209,” from Maria Baibakova’s Instagram.98    98 99 Maybe this was the secretive wedding held in May 2013 in Sardinia, which the Italian author appeared to think was the wedding of Tevfik himself (see 14Dec15Report). Possible confirmation of this is that the page on which Baybakova posted the wedding photos was created in 2013, judging from “page info.” The cascading lavender flowers of the decor resemble those in the wedding that Ayla and Vika Krutaya attended (see photo above) Ayla2209, whose avatar shows the same picture with a baby, posted on an Ivanka Trump Instagram picture, with the comment “@Bellachka1229.”99 That username appears to be an alternative nickname for little sister Anabel. https://www.buro247.ru/instagram/baibakovart/2296#media https://igsuperstar.com/show/instagram/23600655/985693088498991292 23600655 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000449 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. Ayla Arifova  The same Ayla Arifova appears in a photo with “Anabel Arifova and Kamilya Kuanysheva during the bespoke presentation to discover the whimsical and surrealist fine jewellry of Bernard Delettrez at the Ham Yard Hotel on June 1st 2016 in London, England.”100 Anabel Arifova—little sister? (@aarifova, ema (b)(6) (b)(6) , (b)(6) ) appears to be the person with the username bellachkaa101 and bellachka1229.  She graduated in 2009 from Buckley Country Day School in Glen Cove, NY, about a half hour drive from the Arif family home in Port Washington.102 She lived at , according to several directories.103 (b)(6)  She graduated in 2014 from Godolphin and Latymer high school, where she was part of the Russian Culture Society. She went on to Barnard.104  Her Twitter account opened in 2013 shows a picture of New York and a quote about art.105  She would have been born in 1996 when Tevfik was 43 and Gulnara/Julia 33. Link between Ayla’s Twitter account and ISIS terrorists??? A 21 June 2016 tweet from a user named anonzeus3 appeared to be a request to suspend a Daesh website with the username Ayla2209. “id=745291453283311616 daily suspended Daesh account >> @Ayla2209<< Pls re suspend @safety” https://jorgeherrera.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2016-06-01-Bernard-Delettrez-CocktailParty/G0000wgBTK0c2VvY/I0000.YTg7iDnfD4 101 https://plus.google.com/112617028217492471416; https://www.instagram.com/bellachkaa/ 102 http://www.gcnews.com/news/2009-07-24/School/082.html?print=1 103 http://www.locatefamily.com/A/ARI/ARIFOVA-1.html 104 http://www.godolphinandlatymer.com/news/?pid=2&nid=2&storyID=320 105 https://twitter.com/AArifova 100 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000450 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. The tweet included a picture of a tweet from @Ayla2009 showing the ISIS logo with a rose (below). User Anonylox responded with a tweet that seemed to indicate that Ayla2209 had been suspended: “@anonzeus3 @Ayla2209 @safety #tangodown106 Indeed, Twitter says the account http://twitter.com/ayla2009 has been suspended. No cached copies could be found. Who is Anonzeus3? The Twitter bio links to the website ghostsec.info, a counter terrorism intel group. In an interview with cyber expert Pierluigi Paganini, this user wrote, “I am known as Zeus (Zeus Anon @anonzeus3 on twitter, Zeus1 on Anonops). I have been involved in anti ISIS operations since the ISIS took over Kobane a couple of years back. …. I am currently Admin staff on Anonops , #OpIceISIS and #OpDDosISIS..”107 Who is Anonylox?: Anonylox also retweets pro Putin messages critical of the US and British establishment by a user named @Ian56789 who claims to be a stock market trader. This Ian also quotes Trump advisor Michael Flynn. Anonylox joined Twitter in August 2012 and put this for a bio: “This may be the beginning of a new chapter in an old book. Our society is broken, our keepers are corrupt. We will not forgive.” Is this Ayla2209 the same as Ayla Arifova? The Ayla2209 Twitter account in the screenshot simply has the name “Ayla,” whereas the Ayla2209 Instagram account has the name “Ayla Arifova.” Therefore the Daesh Ayla could be anybody. However, it is odd that the Daesh user would choose the same rather obscure number that 106 107 21 June 2016, https://twitter.com/anonzeus3/status/745363656750284800 http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/49477/hacking/hacker-interviews-zeus-anon.html Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000451 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. Arifova did. Could somebody have been trying to smear the Arif family by associating Ayla’s username with terrorism? If so, it is very subtle. Keywords searched: [trying patronymics of Tevfik and his brothers and father] "Ayla V arifova", “Ayla Arif,” “Ayla T Arifova,” “Ayla M Arifova” Ayla2209; "Арифова айла", "айла Арифова", "айла * Арифова" "айла Ариф" "Ayla arif" Luzhkov connection in yacht orgy raid? The Turkish raid on the Savarona yacht orgy took place 28 September 2010, the exact same day that Yuriy Luzhkov was ousted from the Moscow mayoralty. Coincidence?  This coincidence of dates was pointed out by a financial analyst quoted by Radio Liberty.  That author theorizes that then president Medvedev hastily fired Luzhkov because of his ties with Arif and Ismailov, so the yacht scandal would not harm Russia’s reputation.108  This seems unlikely. Mayor Luzhkov had already been under pressure for at least a month before his formal ouster. However, it is worth considering the possibility that Turkish and Russian authorities coordinated the timing of the yacht takedown and Luzhkov’s ouster.  Could the arrest of Telman Ismailov or one of the other oligarchs on the yacht be part of a one two punch against Luzhkov and his powerful allies?  Could the takedown have been timed to prevent Luzhkov from calling on allies to defend him? Perhaps allies with armed thugs at their disposal to protect Luzhkov? If Ismailov, Arif or others were powerful allies of Luzhkov, catching them literally with their pants down on the yacht would prevent them from defending Luzhkov. o Such a scenario is plausible. When Russian law enforcement arrested Said Amirov, the wheelchair bound corrupt mayor of Makhachkala, Dagestan in 2013, they carried out a military style raid with helicopters because they feared his allies might forcibly defend the mayor. o Luzhkov himself “can count on 200,000 loyal “bayonets,” quartered in Moscow and the surrounding region,” according to a 1999 report. 109  It would have been complicated for Turkish and Russian authorities to make those two dates coincide, because each was preceded by a long period of 108 http://www.svobodanews.ru/content/article/2183511.html ВОЕННАЯ МОЩЬ ЛУЖКОВА, 21.06.99 from APN.ru, https://urfo.org/ekb/13 613.html 109 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000452 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. preparation. Further research would be necessary to follow up on this possibility. More information on some of the people involved in the yacht orgy Telman Ismailov may be especially close to ENRC’s Aleksandr Mashkevich, if it is true that Ismailov is Mashkevich’s deputy chief of the Euroasiatic Jewish Congress.110 Arbi Gayrabekov, another of the Russian businessmen caught on the yacht, is a sidekick of Musa Bazhayev.  Gayrabekov is a vice president of Russian Platinum, most of whose leaders come from Bazhayev’s Alyans Oil company. 111  They are Chechen.  Gayrabekov graduated from Odessa Technological Institute in 1996, was involved in unspecified “entrepreneurial activity” from 1995 2011, then worked at OOO Alitek from 2011 2012, and was at Russkaya platina since 2012. There are several companies called Alitek. It would take some research to figure out which one. The Bazhayev family allegedly conspired with Mikhail Chernoy in the theft of a billion dollars from Russia’s Central Bank in the 1990s using false IOUs, according to widespread rumors cited in a 2007 article. 112  The Chechen accomplices wanted their share of the money, say the author’s law enforcement sources.  Musa’s brother Ziya Bazhayev died in an airplane crash in 2000 that some aviation specialists suspect was not an accident.  The Alyans Group’s main activity as of 2007 was in Ukraine, where it owned 165 gas stations and the Kherson refinery. It also had a joint venture with Shell. The Alyans Group also owned a refinery in the Khabarovsk region in Russia’s Far East. Possible Bazhayev-Torshin link?  Another brother, Mavlit Bazhayev, proposed creating a national project to encourage migration from the North Caucasus region to sparsely settled land in Siberia and the Far East. This somewhat resembles various resettlement 110 User Kyrgyzkyzy, 10 Oct 2010, http://www.disput.az/?app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id=21146 5 111 http://russian platinum.ru/about/directors; http://russian platinum.ru/about/managment 112 http://www.compromat.ru/page 26969.htm Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000453 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc. schemes promoted by former Deputy Speaker Aleksandr Torshin113 (a member of the NRA and a person accused by Spanish authorities of ties with the Russian mafia there). Bazhayev link to Kadyrov and Putin  Musa Bazhayev met with Vladimir Putin at the presidential estate in Novo Ogarevo in July 2006 and promised that Alyans Oil Company would spend $50mln refurbishing the Oil Institute in Grozny and building a hospital and schools in Achkoy Martan, Chechnya. Bazhayev link with Dmitriy Shumkov, who was found hanged in Moskva-siti in in December 2015:  We saw in the 7May16 report that Musa Bazhayev helped Dmitriy Shumkov acquire Moscow real estate.  Shumkov’s relations with the Bazhayev clan later reportedly cooled; in June 2015, Shumkov said he wanted to exit the Norilsk-1 project he was involved in with Bazhayev.114  Former Rosneft director and Sechin protégé Eduard Khudaynatov bought Bazhayev’s Alyans Group in 2014, possibly to legalize shady money. Critical commentator Yuliya Latynina says Shumkov may have siphoned money from this deal and been murdered in revenge for this.115  Another possibility raised in a comment to an article on Shumkov’s death is that he knew too much. Just before his death, Andrey Arkhangelskiy, a friend of Shumkov and an officer of the Mosinzhproyekt contractor, was sentenced to 3.5 years in jail. “The sad events happening to [Arkhangelskiy] may have caused the death of [Shumkov].”116 http://changeonelife.ru/en/2012/12/12/detey-sirot-s-severa-i-dalnego-vostoka-predlozhilipereselit-na-kavkaz/; http://expertclub.ge/portal/cnid 7876/alias Expertclub/lang en/tabid 2546/default.aspx 113 114 http://www.rospres.com/politics/16741/ 115 http://mblant.livejournal.com/669.html , http://echo.msk.ru/programs/code/1752700 echo/ summarized by Wayne Allensworth, Internet Notes, 22 Feb 2016 and 2 May 2016, 116 Comment on Три шелковых галстука, или Чубайс заметает следы., an article originally published in http://general ivanoff.livejournal.com/239101.html?page=8#comments , reposted 7 Dec 2015, http://maxpark.com/community/5392/content/4868817 Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000004 20180618-0000454 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.
