WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th October, 2021) The FBI is raiding the home of Russian billionaire businessman Oleg Deripaska, NBC news reported on Tuesday in a tweet, citing law enforcement.
The tweet includes a photo of what appears to be an FBI agent standing outside the cordoned-off home of Deripaska in Washington. The reason for the raid is currently unknown.
Deripaska filed a lawsuit against the US Treasury Department in March 2019, claiming that American sanctions reduced his fortune by $7.5 billion and that the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control persecuted him unfairly and illegally. A US court denied his lawsuit and refused to lift the sanctions against him, prompting him to file an appeal in July 2021.
