pleaded guilty Friday to a charge alleging he facilitated illegal foreign campaign contributions in an effort to build a marijuana business in the US.
Igor Fruman, center, leaves in Federal court in Manhattan with his attorney Todd Blanche, left, Friday, Sept. 10, 2021. The Soviet-born Florida businessman who helped Rudy Giuliani seek damaging information about Joe Biden in Ukraine when Biden was running for president pleaded guilty in a case involving illegal campaign contributions.
"He intends to continue to work hard, as he has his entire life, and raise his family in this country that he loves. We will not have any further public communications." Fruman apologised in court. He said he was not aware of laws prohibiting foreign campaign contributions at the time he engaged in the donation scheme.
Business and other court records show that Muraviev was an investor in a marijuana company with Kukushkin in California. Giuliani, 77, has said he had no knowledge of illegal campaign contributions, but has acknowledged working extensively with Fruman and Parnas as he sought communications with Ukrainian figures
