The eighth named attendee at a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between top Trump associates and a politically-connected Russian lawyer is a business associate of a top Moscow oligarch and was once identified as a key figure in a Congressional money laundering probe.

Irakly Kaveladze, until now the mysterious “eighth man” in the room, attended the meeting on behalf of Aras Agalarov, a billionaire real estate magnate with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and a Trump family friend. A lawyer for Agalarov has confirmed Kaveladze’s attendance to other news outlets, though he did not respond to requests for comment from POLITICO.

On a personal website, Kaveladze describes himself as the vice president of Agalarov’s Moscow-based real estate company, Crocus Group. According to his LinkedIn account, he lives in the Russian Federation, although public records show that he is affiliated with businesses in New Jersey.

Kaveladze “provides oversight to numerous projects throughout the region and is responsible for the financial structuring of international investment projects,” according to his online biography, which does not mention his alleged role in laundering up to $1.4 billion in the mid-1990s.
