According to bank documents reviewed by the Department of Homeland Security, Baturina (Russia) wired $3.5 million to a bank account controlled by Rosemont Seneca Thorton (Hunter Biden) as part of a “consultancy agreement.”
Allegedly, at the time of the transfer, Baturina (wife of former Moscow Mayor) was living in the United Kingdom with her late husband, Yuri Luzhkov (former Mayor of Moscow, Russia).
Luzhkov was a one-time mayor of Moscow who was dismissed from public office by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as part of a public corruption probe. In particular, Luzhkov was accused of using his office to approve more than 20 real estate projects linked to Baturina’s business interests.
“In addition, a Russian investigation led to a criminal case against the former head of the Bank of Moscow, Andrey Borodin, who allegedly used money from the Moscow City Budget to lend money to shell companies, which ultimately transferred $443 million to Baturina.”
The probe also found that Baturina sent 11 wire transfers between May and December 2015 to a bank account belonging to BAK USA, a tech startup that filed for bankruptcy in March 2019. Allegedly, nine of those 11 wire transfers were first sent to Rosemone Seneca Partners, the investment firm founded by Biden and Chris Heinz.
