According to the Treasury itself: "Deripaska has been investigated for money laundering, and has been accused of threatening the lives of business rivals, illegally wiretapping a government official, and taking part in extortion and racketeering. There are also allegations that Deripaska bribed a government official, ordered the murder of a businessman, and had links to a Russian organized crime group." The oligarch, Treasury wrote, is a keen Kremlin loyalist: "Deripaska has said that he does not separate himself from the Russian state."
Deripaska loaned $10M to Manafort.
