Dmytro Firtash
Dmytro Firtash is a Ukrainian billionaire businessman and well-known investor. He is accused of bribing Indian officials to obtain a lucrative titanium mining deal for Boeing.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions called Firtash a direct agent of the Kremlin.
Firtash was arrested in Vienna in March 2014. However, he was later released on bail of 174 million dollars. On June 25, 2019, an Austrian court allowed Firtash to be extradited to the USA. The billionaire's lawyers, however, are appealing this decision.
