Ex-Russian intel officer at Trump Jr. meeting allegedly orchestrated an international hacking conspiracy

The Daily Beast reports that a case filed with New York Supreme Court in 2015 alleges that Akhmetshin successfully orchestrated the hacking of two computer systems and stole documents from International Mineral Resources (IMR), a Russian mining company.

“The U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. was told in July 2015 that Akhmetshin had arranged the hacking of a mining company’s private records — stealing internal documents and then disseminating them,” the Daily Beast reports. “The corporate espionage case was brought by IMR, who alleged that Akhmetshin was hired by Russian oligarch Andrey Melinchenko, an industrialist worth around $12 billion.”

Akhmetshin denied that he orchestrated any hacking of the company, but acknowledged that he “found” a hard drive that just happened to contain sensitive IMR documents.

Akhmetshin, a registered congressional lobbyist, has in the past also done work on behalf of Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, who was also present at the June 9 meeting at Trump Tower.

2015 hacking
In a lawsuit filed in July 2015 with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, it was alleged by International Mineral Resources (IMR) that Akhmetshin committed corporate espionage on behalf of Russian oligarch and industrialist Andrew Melinchenko[6]. The filings regarded a sophisticated data breach by Russian hackers that compromised gigabytes of IMR corporate data.

In the filings, sworn statements by private investigator Akis Phanartizis stated that Akhmetshin boasted that the hacking of IMR's computer system was organized by him. Akhmetshin refused to answer a number of questions under oath or produce 261 requested documents.[citation needed]

2017 Berlin meeting with US Congressman Edit
On the night of April 11, 2017, Akhmetshin met with US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher in a hotel lobby in Berlin, Germany. There was a discussion about the Prevezon money laundering case, along with the related sanctions against Russia. The two had meet previously in May 2016 in a meeting in Rohrabacher's office.[11] In a recording from June 2016, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy had told a group of colleagues that he believed Rohrabacher, along with Donald Trump, was being paid by Vladimir Putin.[12]
