Lithuanian police detained American billionaire Ahmad Khawai, news portal 15min.lt reported. A Lebanese citizen and another American were arrested in Vilnius on the night of September 3.
US officials accuse him of illegally transferring $ 3.5 million in 2016. USD for the Hillary Clinton election campaign. But Khawaja himself says that he is trying to deal with it because he has information that compromises US President Donald Trump.
The businessman who married a Lithuanian citizen has an apartment in the center of Vilnius, in addition to managing real estate in Klaipeda.
A. Khawaja told the Lithuanian courts that his case was political and was born only when the president of the United States, D. Trump, began his re-election campaign.
The Vilnius City District Court allowed the American to be arrested for two months in early September, and the Vilnius Regional Court upheld the decision last week. Mr. Khawaja asked for it to be handed over in a hurry, as well as a deposit of 770,000 euros.
“The suspect earned millions of dollars in remittances, that is, he had extremely large sums of money at his disposal. The complaint also points out that Mr. Khawaja is a well-known businessman who has created many companies and many jobs. “… A sufficiently large sum of money paid as possible bail, given Mr. Khawaja’s financial situation, would not deter him from a possible flight to avoid extradition proceedings,” the court ruled.
The two-month prison sentence is final and cannot be appealed.
