By Paul Manafort have ceased to be a prisoner in your own home. The former head of the election headquarters of Donald trump, who is accused of money laundering, conspiracy against the United States and the failure to explain the origin of their Ukrainian assets, was released from house arrest. He was allowed to live in one of his Florida homes, and relative freedom was $10 million, the need to observe a curfew and wear an electronic tracker.
In addition, the court forbade the former policy closer to the airports, railway and bus stations without permission, and his wife and daughter will have to put on special accounts of $5 and $2 000 000 as insurance.
Manafort allowed to attend court hearings in Washington and to meet with their lawyers, but by evening it needs to go back to Florida. In this mode, the accused will live up to the moment the court makes it a final verdict — the decisive meeting is scheduled for may 2018.
Manafort for about a month and a half had strenuously sought provisional release, lamenting the fact that house arrest negatively affect his work. In early November, he even offered $12 million in real estate, hoping that the money will allow him to move between the three States.
Hope Manafort to leave the premises was in the balance, when the investigation found out that he leads a column in the English-language newspaper for Ukrainians, extolling his service to their homeland. However, the judge ruled in favor of a dishonest policy.
Recall that the merits of Manafort down to the fact that he had advised the now-banned in Ukraine the Party of regions for $17 million.
