Federal prosecutors in New York have filed a criminal indictment against Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who attended the infamous Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and other Russians, in an unrelated case.
The charges allege she obstructed justice in an unrelated civil case relating to money laundering and forfeiture of assets.
It states that she obstructed justice in her representation of Cyprus-based Prevezon Holdings by making an 'intentionally misleading declaration' in the case.
Her alleged obstruction relates to her statements about her cooperation with the Russian government in the case. Whiel she stated that investigative findings that were presented to the court were 'independently drafted,' in fact Veselnitskaya 'well knew but concealed from the Court' that she helped to draft them.
She cooperated with a senior Russian prosecutor 'in secret.'

That language in the indictment further cements Veselnitskaya's ties to the Russian government, which were also suggested in the original emails that served to line up the Trump Tower meeting.
The case relates by the U.S. government's efforts to recover millions worth of property and New York real estate from Prevezon that was involved in laundering a tax fraud scheme, prosecutors say.
The perpetrators plowed some of the monies from the tax fraud scheme into New York real estate – funds the U.S. government sought to recover.
In the scheme 'corrupt Russian government officials defrauded Russian taxpayers out of approximately 5.4 billion rubles, or over $200 million,' according to the indictment.
The case does not relate to the infamous Trump Tower meeting.
Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya attended a Trump Tower meeting in 2016 with Donald Trump Jr. and other top Trump officials. She is accused of covering up her cooperation with Russian prosecutors in an unrelated case
Donald Trump Jr. joined Paul Manafort, who is now in prison awaiting sentencing on corruption charges, and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner at the 2016 Trump Tower meeting
Sergei Magnitsky represented fraud victims and ultimately died in Russian police custody
However, the parent company of multiple victims hired Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky to help in their effort. Magnitsky ultimately ended up dead in a Russian prison – and his name is associated with the Magnitsky Act, which allows for imposition of sanctions on human rights violators in Russia.
The Magnitsky act continues to be a major irritant to the Russian government, and the lifting of sanctions appears to have been one of her primary objectives during the Trump Tower meeting, which was initially arranged after the dangling of potential dirt on Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The U.S. attorney's office settled the case against Prevezon last year for $5.8 million, a small fraction of the monies originally alleged to have been involved.
The indictment references an earlier complaint about the scheme itself, which involved claiming tax refunds based on the stolen identities of three companies held by a foreign investment fund. The stolen refunds were claimed by arranging 'false contractual defaults against the stolen companies,' and then claiming refunds based on the defaults that didn't happen.
According to federal prosecutors, defends in the Prevezon action filed papers with the court in 2015. In her own declaration, Veselnitskaya stated that she had 'gone to great lengths' to get a copy of a document from the Russian prosecutors' office.
That document, filed in 2014, included investigatory findings that 'exonderate all Russian government personnel, and accused investment company personnel of committing fraud. It also accused Magnitsky himself of committing the Russian Treasury Fraud, when as the feds outline he reported it.
But based on emails and even software that tracks editing changes, prosecutors in New York say she participated in drafting the response, and emailed the personal account of a supervising Russian prosecutor.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
