NEW: Estonia's far-right Finance Minister inked a contract with ex FBI Director Louis Freeh to investigate money laundering in Estonia. The problem? Freeh represented one of the alleged money launderers in U.S. court. W/ @holger_r & @dossier_center: https://www.thedailybeast.com/former-fbi-director-louis-freehs-double-game-with-stolen-russian-money?ref=home
One of the weirdest stories I've done in recent memory. It has it all: Rudy, Veselnitskaya, Magnitsky and "Louie." Note Freeh's bizarre denial via a spox that he represented Prevezon as settlement counsel. He's named repeatedly in the court docket as doing just that:
I've also seen Freeh's correspondence with Veselnitskaya and Imre Pakh, a Hungarian-American art collector whose role in the Prevezon case is a complete mystery.
Several sources in Tallinn say this contract, worth at least 3 million euros for Freeh and his law firm, was undertaken unilaterally by Estonia's Finance Minister Martin Helme, who has said "If you're Black, go back" re refugees. Upon being sworn in, he flashed the "O.K." sign.
Helme has read @holger_r's write-up and he isn't happy. The whole investigation, he's posted to Facebook, is a Deep State conspiracy: https://www.facebook.com/eestiesikonservatiiv/posts/952935165221652
(Note: the email correspondence between Freeh and Veselnitskaya came from the same cache of the latter's leaked emails which led to her indictment by DoJ for obstruction of justice. She helped draft the Russian government response to the U.S. MLAT request in the case.)
