A Russian deputy attorney general, who is thought to have directed Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya in her efforts abroad on behalf of Russia's government, reportedly died Wednesday night in a helicopter crash.
The Daily Beast (https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-official-linked-to-natalia-veselnitskaya-the-trump-tower-lawyer-is-dead) reports that Albertovich Karapetyan plummeted to his Wedesday night in the crash. According to the Beast, the unauthorized helicopter flight crashed near the village of Vonyshevo, outside of Moscow.
Karapetyan was reportedly behind Veselnitskaya's global efforts to lobby lawmakers to overturn anti-corruption acts such as the U.S. Magnitsky Act, which passed in 2012. The U.S. act is similar to others around the world, which commemorate Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died while trying to expose a $230 million fraud scheme in Russia. The acts have reportedly incensed Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Beast reported that Karapetyan signed a letter sent on behalf of Russia's government to a U.S. court in 2014 refusing assistance into an investigation concerning Magnitsky's death. The letter was drafted reportedly with aid from Veselnitskaya.
Two years later, Veselnitskaya was involved in a meeting with President Trump (https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump)'s son, Donald Trump Jr. (https://thehill.com/people/donald-don-trump), his son-on-law Jared Kushner (https://thehill.com/people/jared-kushner), and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort (https://thehill.com/people/paul-manafort) at Trump Tower. The meeting, which occurred during the 2016 presidential election, was reportedly set up under the presumption that Veselnitskaya would present damaging information on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton (https://thehill.com/people/hillary-clinton) to the Trump campaign.
