How a Little-Known FBI Unit Helped to Disseminate the Steele Dossier
August 31, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA
A little-known FBI unit played an outsized role in allowing controversial claims by a former MI6 Spy about Donald Trump to reach the highest levels of the FBI and State Department.
The Eurasian Organized Crime Unit, which at the time was headed by Michael Gaeta, specializes in investigating criminal groups from Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine.
Gaeta, an FBI agent and Assistant Legal Attaché at the US Embassy in Rome, has known the former spy, Christopher Steele—who authored the controversial dossier on then-candidate Donald Trump—since at least 2010, when Steele provided assistance in the FBI’s investigation into the FIFA Corruption scandal over concerns Russia might have been engaging in bribery to host the 2018 World Cup.
