From Law and Crime:
A federal judge on Monday partially advanced a lawsuit accusing Russian mafia-tied businessman Felix Sater of laundering millions stolen from Kazakhstans BTA Bank through Trump Organization properties.
In this case, Kazakhstans largest city and a Kazakhstani bank seek to recover millions of dollars in stolen funds from those who allegedly helped the culprits launder them, U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan summarized in a 25-page opinion dismissing only two counts of a five-count complaint.
Felix Saterthe alleged ringleader of the money-laundering operationalong with his associate Daniel Ridloff and several business entities they control, move to dismiss.
Like Sater, Ridloff was also formerly associated with the Trump Organization. The lawsuit stems from allegations of the systematic looting of Kazakhstans largest city Almaty and its bank in 2009.
The Court emphasizes that the Kazakh entities will need to adduce evidence showing the Sater defendants deceptive conduct and their justifiable reliance on that conduct in significantly greater detail to meet their burdens of production and of proof as the case progresses,
Nathan wrote. However, at this stage, the Court concludes that it is not clear on the face of the complaint that their claims are untimely, and so declines to dismiss any claims on that basis.

Both these players are mobsters with global ties to laundering money, weapons etc, on a high end scale & they are two of the more involved & dangerous ones.

(15,325 posts)4. I saw a gif with all the Trump/RU mobsters, but didn't save it.
It was a graph connecting each one with Trump Org in the center.
Wish I had it now. It would be helpful since there have been so many names over the years to keep track of.
