Garland indicts Russian oligarch, vows accountability for 'war crimes' | USA TODAY

Merrick Garland announced indictments against Russian Konstantinos Malofeyev for alleged sanction violations.

The Justice Department took separate actions Wednesday aimed at a top Russian oligarch, unsealing an indictment against Konstantinos Malofeyev for alleged sanction violations. The Treasury Department previously identified Malofeyev as one of the main sources of financing for Russians promoting separatism in Crimea, and for providing material support for the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic.

“After being sanctioned by the United States, Malofeyev attempted to evade the sanctions by using co-conspirators to surreptitiously acquire and run media outlets across Europe,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a Justice briefing. Garland announced the seizure of millions of dollars from an account at a U.S. financial institution, which the indictment alleges constitutes proceeds traceable to Malofeyev’s sanctions violations.

David saith to Solomon his son,
`As for me, it hath been with my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God,
and the word of Jehovah [is] against me, saying,
Blood in abundance thou hast shed, and great wars thou hast made:
thou dost not build a house to My name, for much blood thou hast shed to the earth before Me.
