FBI is looking for Konstantin Viktorovich Kilimnik for obstruction of the administration of justice and participation in a conspiracy to prevent the administration of justice.

A 2018 conviction by the District Court for the District of Columbia suggests that Kilimnik deliberately and deliberately tried to win another person over to his side. He used corrupt practices with the intent to delay the formal trial and obstruct his testimony.

This happened between February and April 2018.

Kilimnik acted as an intermediary between Ukrainian and Russian politicians and businessmen. The FBI estimates that the wanted man is linked to Russian intelligence and allegedly facilitated a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign in the United States, presumably at the direction of the Ukrainian government, without providing the documents required by law to disclose the information.

According to the investigation, Kilimnik worked for Manafort since 2005 and headed the Kiev office of the political strategist's company, lobbied for the former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, the Party of Regions and the Ukrainian government, which paid political strategists Richard Gates, Paul Manafort and Kilimnik more than $ 75 million.

Konstantin Kilimnik is featured in a report by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, who investigated Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election. Müller accused Kilimnik of having links with the Russian special services. The accused then denied any connection with any intelligence structure in Russia and said that he was used as "the missing link in a story built on false foundations."

In 2005, Kilimnik was fired from his post as acting director of the Russian branch of the IRI. According to him, - because he worked as a freelance translator for Manafort.

Mueller's report says that Kilimnik was fired due to his close ties with the Russian secret services.

In February 2017, Konstantin Kilimnik gave an interview to Radio Liberty, in which he confirmed that he spoke with Manafort “every couple of months”, including when he worked at Trump's headquarters in 2016. But, according to Kilimnik, he did not give Manafort any consultations on the 2016 American elections and has not cooperated with him professionally since 2014.
