The FBI raided real estate offices associated with two prominent Jewish philanthropists Tuesday morning, likely in connection to a money-laundering scheme out of Ukraine that was the subject of a Forward investigation earlier this year.

 

The FBI searched the Cleveland and Miami offices of Optima Management Group, said Special Agent Vicki Anderson-Gregg at the FBI’s office in Cleveland. Optima is a conglomerate of companies operated in part by Chabad donors Mordechai Korf and Uriel Laber, who were named in a 2019 lawsuit that accused them of helping oligarchs launder money from a Ukrainian bank.

 

Korf and Laber owned and managed shell entities in the United States and bought other businesses using laundered money, the lawsuit says.

Okay…and manufacturing went away, so in come some foreigners to scoop up "real estate" and other

 

The tycoons became the largest commercial real-estate holders in Cleveland, Ohio, by the early 2010s, having scooped up some of the most recognizable buildings in the Midwestern city. The FBI on August 4 raided the Cleveland headquarters of Optima Management Group, which oversees their local real estate, as well as the Miami office from where their U.S. assets are run.

 

FBI Special Agent Vicki Anderson-Gregg of the Cleveland office declined to say who is being investigated and why, adding the case is still under seal.

 

The FBI has been investigating Kolomoyskiy for financial crimes in a “wide-ranging” probe that has been going on “for quite some time,” the Daily Beast reported in April 2019, citing unidentified sources. BuzzFeed in May reported two sources as saying that Kolomoyskiy is under investigation by a U.S. federal grand jury for money laundering.
