A Russian plane linked to the countrys government flew into the Seychelles the day prior to a 2017 meeting now under review by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to NJ Advance Media.
Much speculation has centered on one particular meeting that took place between Erik Prince, founder of the security company Blackwater, Kirill Dmitriev, the director of one of Russias sovereign wealth funds, and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the effective ruler of the United Arab Emirates.
But new details about a Russian aircraft that landed in the Seychelles the day before Prince has raised questions about the scope of the meetings that week and whether sanctions were a topic of conversation among participants.

Hapless Trump campaign made the USA a good target for corruption.
