The South American Connection to Russian War Crimes, through Washington, DC
In summer 2022, US investor and multi-millionnaire Daniel Rapoport was found dead outside his Georgetown apartment. DC MPD said he had 'fallen' from the roof. Global media questioned if his death - ruled not a suicide by the DC coronor - was actually a Russian Government murder. Inside the US capita.
Coincidentally, Daniel;s pre-divorce, Kalorama DC mansion had been sold to
Andronico Luksic Craig, a
billionnaire Chilean banking and mining magnate with strong financial ties to Russia. Craig had formed a special holding company just to lease his home to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner (Tracy DC Real Estate). The
lease drew criticism because of Jared's Oval Office work and Craig's questionable business dealings and holdings, including close Russian government partnership. One of his companies,
the
Luksic Group, had strong financial interest in Minnesota mining legislation before President Trump.
Why should the Helsinki Commission care about such matters? Because the pervasive reach of Craig's global holdings touch most of the critical War Crimes-related supply chains and industries Putin needed to attack the Ukraine and threaten to destabalize the European Union and its allies:
Almost every business Craig - and the other handful of super-rich South American entrepreneurs supported by the US and EU - leads or is involved in, supports the Russian Government either directly or indirectly, through supply of raw materials, military components, banking, energy, communications, or development (real estate) holdings.
