The money was allegedly laundered on behalf of the son of the deputy attorney general of Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The suspects run a mining company in East Siberia that has no official revenue. The report found the suspects conspired with Putin regime officials to sell Russia\u2019s minerals to Mainland China and then hold the revenue in Australian banks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe price they listed was $27 for 1 kilogram, while the real price is between $50 and $100,\u201d explained Evgeniy Kislov, laboratory director of the Institute of Geology for the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. \u201cI know that a large shipment of the precious mineral, back in 2015, went to the city of Doning in China\u2019s Heilongjiang province. It was sold there for $15,000 per 1 kilogram and in Beijing that would cost up to $50,000 for 1 kilogram.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russian anti-corruption activists have said the Australian scheme is part of a broader criminal activity by the Kremlin to sell Russia\u2019s national wealth to China and other countries.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/minneapolis-goes-back-on-pledge-to-defund-police\/\">Minneapolis goes back on pledge to defund police<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2181185,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21041477276740-751x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Australia probes Kremlin-centered money laundering scheme","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21041477276740-751x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Australia probes Kremlin-centered money laundering scheme","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2181185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
