Manafort Caught With Revoked Passport Trying To Leave The Country

Following his conviction in federal court on what could be considered trumped-up charges, it seems that Paul Manafort’s passport was revoked. Either he didn’t know this or was of a mind to risk flying overseas anyway. Over the weekend he was removed from a flight headed to Dubai.

Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta confirmed that Manafort was removed from the Emirates Airline flight without incident Sunday night but directed further questions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Customs and Border Protection told DailyMail.com: “For privacy reasons, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is unable to discuss a specific individual’s arrival or departure into or from the United States.”

That’s comforting for the law-abiding citizens of the United States, but Paul Manafort is a convicted felon.

Manafort, 72, led former President Donald Trump’s campaign for several months during the 2016 presidential race but was ousted in August of that year after revelations about his business dealings in Ukraine.

He was later indicted on a broad array of financial crimes as part of special counsel Robert Mueller´s investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

In Mueller’s probe, it was revealed that Manafort had ties to a Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who was linked to Vladimir Putin. He also worked as a consultant in Ukraine.

And for some reason, he was headed to Dubai where a whole lot of private planes from Russia headed over the weekend also.

In 2020, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a finding saying Manafort was a ‘grave risk’ because of his links to Russia and an associate called Kilimnik.

The committee’s investigation found that Manafort ‘represented a grave counterintelligence threat’ due to his relationship with Kilimnik and other Russians connected to the country’s intelligence services.

“Kilimnik quickly became an integral part of Manafort’s operations in Ukraine and Russia,” the report states, adding that the pair “formed a close and lasting relationship that would endure to the 2016 U.S. elections and beyond.”

This is probably why Manafort is not free to leave the country.
