  • Story Text:The FBI is conducting searches at two houses belonging to relatives of Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska in New York and Washington, his representative told Reuters on Tuesday (October 19).
    The raids were being carried out on the basis of two court warrants related to U.S. sanctions, the representative said, adding that Deripaska was not the owner of the houses.
    Deripaska, 53, has been subject to the U.S. sanctions since 2018. Washington blacklisted him along with several other influential Russians because of their ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin following alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
    Representatives for the Federal Bureau of Investigation did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the report.
    Deripaska, an influential billionaire and an associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been blacklisted by the United States. Washington previously dropped sanctions against his two main companies, aluminum giant Rusal and its parent En+ Group .
    He had sued to have the sanctions lifted but his lawsuit was dismissed in June.
