The son of an English business and political dynasty served as bag man for one of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies, according to U.S. officials who collared the Brit on his native soil on Tuesday.
The Department of Justice’s KleptoCapture unit—which President Joe Biden launched shortly after Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in March—nabbed Graham Bonham-Carter for allegedly conducting more than $1 million in real estate and artwork dealings on behalf of notorious oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who the U.S. personally sanctioned in 2018.
A message sent by The Daily Beast to an email account associated with Bonham-Carter’s LinkedIn page received no answer Tuesday. The page innocuously describes Bonham-Carter’s job as director of GBCM Ltd., a “company set up to run private houses and estates.”
