🚨New statement from bipartisan, bicameral congressional leaders behind the provision to use forfeited assets of Putin-linked criminals & oligarchs to help rebuild Ukraine 🇺🇸🇺🇦 #omnibus

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

I join my Congressional colleagues in welcoming @ZelenskyyUa to Washington, his first trip outside Ukraine since war criminal Putin’s invasion ten months ago. The resolve and courage shown by President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people are admired (1/2)

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

I’m very pleased the Senate unanimously adopted my amendment with @SenWhitehouse to allow assets seized from sanctioned Russian oligarchs and entities supporting Putin to be used to the benefit of the Ukrainian people.

If we make banks report dirty money but allow law, real estate, & accounting firms to look the other way, that creates a loophole that crooks & kleptocrats can sail a yacht through. Our bill closes that loophole and encourages the administration to move in the same direction -TM

The Enablers Act was a key legislative response to @ICIJorg @washingtonpost's #pandorapapers

So when it was blocked last week, I dug into the anti-Enablers camp. Turns out the ABA president's global law firm helped Putin's former "banker" among others

[ICIJ @ICIJorg]

The Enablers Act, a bipartisan anti-corruption bill that would require US lawyers, art dealers, trust co’s and other financial middlemen to scrutinize their clients' source of wealth as banks are, was stricken from the National Defense Authorization Act. https://t.co/BPkQMU6kx8

.@JakeSullivan46: "As its name suggests, the #ENABLERSAct would level the playing field by imposing anti-money laundering requirements on accountants, lawyers, and investment advisors.

[Nate Sibley @NateSibley]

I spoke to @OCCRP about the need to extend anti-money laundering responsibilities beyond traditional US banks to other sectors routinely exploited by criminals.

Congress now has a chance to do this with the Enablers Act—will it act to protect Americans? https://t.co/49LHOMFqvj

[Scott Stedman @ScottMStedman]

The enabler, in this case, was lawyer Yosef Manela out of Los Angeles, who did the secretarial duties for the LLCs through which Derkach was laundering cash.

Pass the ENABLERS Act now.

@FDD: The #ENABLERSAct is "a straightforward opportunity to ensure that U.S. lawyers, accountants, and financial facilitators stop working with corrupt individuals who set up opaque corporate structures, facilitate the flow of dirty money..." #IACC2022
