Russian oligarchs sued the creator of the file on Trump
The company Fusion GPS, which created the scandalous dossier on Trump, defends itself in court against the three richest Russian oligarchs, calling them corrupt bankers associated with President Vladimir Putin.
“The three main investors of Moscow Alfa Bank - Mikhail Fridman, Pyotr Aven and German Khan - filed a defamation lawsuit against Fusion. In the dossier Fusion, compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, alleges that two of them organized bribes to Putin. The dossier also suggests that the bank secretly assisted Putin in his interference in the 2016 presidential election by hacking into Democratic Party computers. Inopressa with reference to The Washington Times.
The lawsuit calls the three billionaires international businessmen who became “accidental victims” in the fight Fusion in order to discredit the campaign of Donald Trump.
Alfa Bank lost a defamation lawsuit in the 2000s when it sued Center for Public Integrity for an article linking the bank to organized crime. In 2005, a judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying that while the article was defamatory, there was no malicious intent in publishing it.
In addition to the claim for the protection of the honor and dignity of the dossier Fusion as such, it is under attack by some journalists and lawmakers, Scarborough continues.
“Republicans are demanding that the FBI release details of how it used an unverified, Democratic-sponsored dossier to investigate the Trump campaign,” the author writes.
The lawsuit is based on Steele's September 2016 memos about Alfa Bank, one of 17 memos that make up the dossier from June to December 2016.
The dossier alleges that Alfa Bank made “illegal payments” directly on behalf of Fridman and Aven to Putin through Oleg Govorun, now a senior Kremlin figure, “during the 1990s.”
