WASHINGTON/NEW YORK - Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska sued the United States on Friday, alleging that it had overstepped its legal bounds in imposing sanctions on his companies and made him the “latest victim” in the U.S. probe into Moscow’s alleged political interference.
Deripaska, the lawsuit says, has been swept up in a “general hysteria” based on unfounded allegations about him spread by members of U.S. Congress and the news media, and set against the backdrop of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
When Deripaska was hit with sanctions in April, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control alleged that he and other rich and influential Russian oligarchs were profiting off their ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and from the state’s “malign activity” around the world. He is of interest to Mueller because of his ties to the Kremlin and his decade-long relationship with Paul Manafort, the one-time campaign chairman for U.S. President Donald Trump who this month was sentenced to a total of seven and half years in prison in two criminal cases brought by Mueller’s team.
