Ukraine Officials Allege Major Corruption Scandal with DNC Linked Company
Hunter Biden and the DNC face accusations of corruption.
And the plot thickens. While Democrats fill the American airwaves with a razor-thin impeachment storyline, Ukrainian members of parliament have gone public with a tale of large-scale corruption involving a U.S. company with ties to the Democratic Party. And they are calling on President Trump to investigate.
Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Dubinsky asserted that the family of former president Victor Yanukovych “illegally obtained $7.4 billion and laundered the funds through an investment fund close to some representatives of the U.S. Democratic Party in the form of external government loan bonds,” according to the Interfax-Ukraine News Agency. The MPs say the money-laundering scheme is connected to Franklin Templeton Investments, which, in turn, is linked with high-level Democrats. More on that later, but first let’s follow the money. In 2013, Franklin Templeton started sinking big bucks into the Ukrainian debt market to the tune of $5 billion. Later, another $2 billion or so was added to the pot by the U.S. money management firm. Just last week, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) launched an investigation into Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky — in essence, putting him on Ukraine’s most wanted list. And that, say Ukraine’s MPs, ties directly into the Templeton scandal. Details of the plan were uncovered by investigative journalists, according to government officials there.
Here’s where it gets interesting: The indictment by the PGO against Zlochevsky implicates Hunter Biden and his associates. According to one MP, the $16.5 million Biden’s company received wasn’t for services rendered but rather through a money-laundering scheme or as he put it from “money stolen from citizens” of Ukraine. Thus, Biden-the-younger appears to be a link in the chain of Zlochevsky’s financial pyramid scheme, according to MP Oleksandr Dubinsky.
