Are there any "on the books" payments from Ukraine to Manafort? If not, why not?

Surely he didn't work for them, for years, for free? How much they pay him, on or off the books?

Accounts of the controversial payments surfaced this weekend when The New York Times reported Manafort's name appears on a list of payments amounting to $12.7 million between 2007 and 2012.

A spokesman for the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption bureau confirmed the details in the Times story.

In the time period covered by the payment list, Manafort worked for former Ukrainian President Viktor F. Yanukovych, who was supportive of Russia's Vladimir Putin and was ousted in 2014.

The Anti-Corruption bureau spokesman emphasized that so far it has not been confirmed whether Manafort received the cash, since the bureau has not yet been able to confirm if signatures in the recipient column are Manafort's or not. The spokesman said the Anti-Corruption bureau is now conducting an analysis of the signatures.
