Statement of the Offense, United States v. Flynn, No. 17-cr-232 (RC), Doc. 4

On March 7, 2017, FLYNN filed multiple documents with the Department of Justice pursuant to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (“FARA”) pertaining to a project performed by him and his company, the Flynn Intel Group, Inc. (“FIG”), for the principal benefit of the Republic of Turkey (“Turkey project”).

Stipulated facts for the plea to one count of false statements (18 U.S.C. 1001) about contacts with Russia's ambassador. Para. 5 adds that Flynn's FARA filings of 7 March 2017 about a project for the benefit of Turkey contained materially false statements and omissions about Turkey's supervision and direction of the project. The FARA conduct was not a separate charged count.

Finding POL-6.7: Primary record 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.
