Banker who worked as Russian secret agent to be released early, deported

....................Buryakov was arrested at his home in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, a few blocks from the Russian Embassy Residences, on Jan. 26, 2015. Prosecutors later said an FBI agent posing as an analyst for an energy firm had given Buryakov binders of industry analysis within which were “covertly placed recording devices.”

Russia and Vnesheconombank denied that Buryakov and the bank were involved in espionage, but Vnesheconombank later paid $45,000 as settlement in a lawsuit filed by Buryakov’s landlords. The Bronx homeowners claimed that after Buryakov’s arrest, one of his associates came to his home and did tens of thousands in damage, tearing up walls and furniture. Vnesheconombank did not admit to wrongdoing when settling the case.

Vnesheconombank made headlines earlier this week when it confirmed to Reuters that in 2016 its representatives met with then candidate Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is now senior advisor to the President. Senate investigators plan to question Kushner about the meetings as part of a probe into Russian meddling in the presidential election.

Requests for comment to Vnesheconombank and Buryakov’s attorneys were not immediately returned...........................
