Russian Business Consulting (RBC):

After BuzzFeed was published about the interest of the US Special Prosecutor to the Crocus Group, Araz Agalarov, the company's accounts in the United States were closed, its top manager said. Crocus is under "real threat" of cessation of activity in the USA.

From Seth Abramson:

Here is what I did re research..I started with Agalarovs crocus group..then this...more about crimerussia link...Part 2

https://en.crimerussia.com/oligarchs/agalarov-s-crocus-group-us-bank-accounts-closed/


Union Bank notified the owner of the Crocus Group, Araz Agalarov, about the closure of his bank accounts in the United States. 10 days earlier, the country's prosecutor’s office got interested in the oligarch’s transactions. The entrepreneur is suspected of meddling with the US presidential election and financing Donald Trump’s election campaign, RBC reports.



On June 3, 2016, Natalia Veselnitskaya’s lawyer met with Trump’s son and allegedly handed him compromising material against Hilary Clinton, who also participated in the presidential elections. On the same day, according to the US prosecutor's office, Agalarov tried to transfer $ 3.3 million to the representative of the Crocus Group in the United States, Irakly Kaveladze. Before reaching Kaveladze, the money went through a chain from Citibank, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley.

According to Kaveladze, three US banks the names of which the company’s representative did not disclose refused to provide services to the Crocus Group.

Then I research Kaveladze.....and found this link from 7/18/17..t rump in photos...

Ten individuals pleaded guilty today in Manhattan federal court to conspiring to serve as unlawful agents of the Russian Federation within the United States and will be immediately expelled from the United States, the Justice Department announced today.

Defendants “Donald Howard Heathfield” and “Tracey Lee Ann Foley” admitted they are Russian citizens named Andrey Bezrukov and Elena Vavilova, and are agents of the Russian Federation.


The United States has agreed to transfer these individuals to the custody of the Russian Federation. In exchange, the Russian Federation has agreed to release four individuals who are incarcerated in Russia for alleged contact with Western intelligence agencies.
