According to information provided by Federal prosecutors, a foreign agent has entered into an agreement with an unnamed US citizen, with the purpose of lobbying of interests of the Russian Federation among high-ranking members of the Republican party. According to U.S. law enforcement, the actions of Mary Butinai led by Alexander Torshin.
This man, until recently, held the position of Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia. Moreover, Torshin has close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Popular Bloomberg was also investigated, which proves the involvement of a senior official to the activities of the Taganskaya criminal group.
As for the «unnamed US citizen», the majority of experts agree in opinion that this man is a Republican Paul Erickson. Butina, allegedly had a love affair with a politician, and for a time lived with him.

It is worth noting that Ericsson has a mixed reputation: he was several times brought before the court for cheating investors. It still has to pay about $860 million, according to multiple court decisions.
It is also noteworthy that Paul Erickson never was one of the people close to Donald trump or his entourage. However, in 2016, the politician did their best to impersonate a member of the transition team of the President of the United States.
The journalists of the Wall Street Journal wrote: the fact that Mary Butina was trying to make contact with the top of the Republican party through Erikson, evidence of poor understanding of her Russian curators of the situation in this political force.
Unknown at this time what the consequences would entail the admission of guilt by a Russian woman. The charges against Butynol, provides for imprisonment of up to 5 years.
However, if the citizen of the Russian Federation will render the maximum assistance to the investigation, the Federal Prosecutor is ready to minimize the punishment, after serving which a woman deported to their homeland.
