LONDON—The Moscow operation behind the now-infamous Russian-Trump Tower meeting
in June 2016 included a direct attempt to enlist a foreign country’s
law-enforcement official as a virtual double-agent, according to a court
case in Switzerland.
One of Switzerland’s top investigators has
been fired after allegations of bribery, violating secrecy laws, and
“unauthorized clandestine behavior” in meeting with the very same
Russian actors linked to the Trump Tower encounter.
Details of the explosive case have been published by investigative reporters for the Tribune de Genève and Tages-Anzeiger newspapers
in Switzerland. The officer, identified only as Victor K., traveled to
Moscow—against the expressed wishes of his superiors—where he spoke to
Natalia Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr., Paul
Manafort, and Jared Kushner at Trump Tower.
The meeting was
reportedly set up by Russian Deputy Attorney General Saak Albertovich
Karapetyan—from the same rogue department that was apparently responsible for offering intel on Hillary Clinton to be shared at the Trump Tower meeting and the Kremlin’s further plots to influence U.S. politics.
