The 8th Man In Don Jr.’s Secret Russia Meeting Negotiated The Miss Universe Deal
Ike Kaveladze has been identified as the eighth person present for Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting seeking Russian government intelligence.
Photos discovered by the Democratic Coalition’s Scott Dworkin over a month ago, which proved Trump’s personal lawyer’s ties to the Kremlin, confirm the identity and personal relationship between Ike Kaveladze and Donald Trump.
He is the Vice President of Crocus International, owned by a Russian national close to Vladimir Putin.
CNN reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller wants to interview Kaveladze for his inquiry into covert Russian support for the Trump Campaign.
Ike Kaveladze is important enough to Crocus to travel halfway around the world to meet with Donald Trump when the family brought Miss Universe to Moscow in a highly politicized maneuver to present a good image to the world before the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.
Kaveladze recently completed a $550 million dollar loan against a massive Crocus portfolio of properties and is their head of finance.
Kaveladze is pictured in the cover photo of this story reviewing documents related to Miss Universe 2013 in Las Vegas with ethnic Azerbaijani real estate oligarchs Emin and Aras Agalarov, and in a later meeting which he attended with Emin and Donald Trump.
His LinkedIn profile in English says:
A business executive with 10 years of financial management experience, Ike Kaveladze currently serves as Vice President of the Crocus Group in Moscow. The Crocus Group is the administrative arm of Crocus City, a trade, exhibition and entertainment space that features a hotel, a concert hall, a large indoor mall, and a number of small shops and restaurants.
Ike Kaveladze’s responsibilities with the Crocus Group include investment project development, regional business planning, and comprehensive tax preparation.
Initially hired by the company as an analyst in 2004, Mr. Kaveladze was promoted to Vice President after five years of dedicated service.
The New York Times reported that Kaveladze emigrated to America in 1991 and was later involved in a massive money laundering investigation when he imported $800 million dollars into Citibank. From their report, “Laundering Of Money Seen as ‘Easy’”:
More than $800 million was wired from abroad to 136 accounts that Mr. Kaveladze opened at Citibank for Russian clients, and most of that was then sent to overseas accounts, said the report, which was provided to The New York Times by government officials who want to see its findings receive maximum exposure.
The accounts had been opened by Irakly Kaveladze, who immigrated to the United States from Russia in 1991, according to Citibank and Mr. Kaveladze. He set up more than 2,000 corporations in Delaware for Russian brokers and then opened the bank accounts for them, without knowing who owned the corporations, according to the report by the General Accounting Office, which has not been made public.
At one time, Mr. Kaveladze helped some 50 Russian nonresident aliens obtain Citibank credit cards, and each of them used the address for one of Mr. Kaveladze’s companies, International Business Creations, Citibank told the G.A.O. in its letter today. The bank was concerned and monitored the credit card accounts, finally closing them in 1996.
At the time, Citibank’s compliance department recommended that all of Mr. Kaveladze’s accounts be closed, but the branch that handled them ‘’resisted,’’ Citibank wrote today. It was not until four years later that the accounts were closed.
Kaveladze denied all wrongdoing.
He was ultimately accused by the Government Accountability Office of — but never charged with — laundering a total of $1.4 billion dollars.
Democratic Coalition’s Opposition Research Leads To Multiple Confirmed Reports Linking Trump’s Russian Ties To The Election
The Democratic Coalition’s co-founder Scott Dworkin issued a report last November which I covered after it was delivered to the Obama White House in Huffington Post only three days after last year’s election.
Trump’s links to Aras Agalarov stood out as central to the Dworkin Report, because the oligarch known as the “Trump of Russia” in some circles received a personal award from Putin, and has a direct financial relationship with Donald Trump.
Dworkin slammed Trump Campaign’s constant and shameless denials of Russian involvement in the face of overwhelming evidence:
It doesn’t even matter what happened at the meeting; Trump and his entire team keep lying to the American public. That alone should tell us everything we need to know.
Either they colluded with the Russians to steal the election or they’re covering up something far worse.
The Dworkin Report was later expanded in December to cover thirty years of Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.
Then, on January 10th, 2017 a controversial Trump Russia dossier was published by Buzzfeed and it alleged that many of the Russian oligarchs with direct connection to both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin were involved in a conspiracy during the 2016 election.
Trump’s personal lawyer Michael D. Cohen issued a blanket denial of the Dossier, but on June 9th, I reported this story with extensive photographic evidence of the Miss Universe Moscow meetings in Trump International Hotel Las Vegas.
Those Miss Universe meetings would which strangely repeat themselves form, but instead of cash, with Russian government intelligence as the lure, only three summers later in the Trump Tower boardroom 25th floor in New York City.
News reports this month revealed Donald Trump Jr. had setup a meeting with campaign brass and the Agalarovs through music publicist Rob Goldstone, in order to obtain Russian government documents — which the AP reports did get exchanged — that would incriminate or otherwise doom Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The Trump Russia dossier revealed two important facts confirmed by recent events. Firstly that the Kremlin was feeding the Trump campagn opposition research and second, that the Kremlin-backed Agalarov would know the details, which today’s story confirms by the presence of his right hand man in the room.
The photographic evidence reported here on Monday June 10th revealed the personal relationship between Donald Trump and the intermediary, a day before Donald Trump Jr. released a series of potentially incriminating smoking gun emails confirming that Rob Goldstone even had access to his father, though his personal assistant.
