Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska says that U.S. prosecutors’ efforts to gain access to records seized from a U.K. company associated with him are motivated by American political “infighting.”
British authorities raided a storage unit last December owned by Terra Services Ltd., a real estate firm that until last year was controlled by Deripaska, as part of a possible offshoot of U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian election interference. The aluminum magnate’s business dealings with convicted former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort were a subject of Mueller’s inquiry.
