Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity

  • POL-6.7: Michael Flynn stipulated in December 2017 that his 7 March 2017 FARA filings about a project for the benefit of Turkey contained materially false statements and omissions. He was charged only with a false-statement count about Russia contacts, and the court dismissed the case as moot on 8 December 2020. A jury convicted Flynn Intel Group executive Bijan Rafiekian in 2019 of acting as an unregistered agent of Turkey and of conspiracy, the district court set the verdict aside, and the Fourth Circuit affirmed an order for a new trial in 2023.
