The leak follows revelations that Paul Manafort, U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, allegedly received an undeclared $12.7 million from the Party of Regions and helped a Yanukovych-linked non-profit group to secretly route $2.2 million to U.S. lobbyists. Manafort, who resigned amid the scandal on Aug. 19, has denied any wrongdoing.
The payments intended for Manafort, King and Svoboda are part of a $2 billion off-the-book accounting scheme allegedly used by the Party of Regions to bribe officials and politicians from 2007 to 2012. The accounting ledgers were given to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine in May by Viktor Trepak, an ex-deputy chief of the Security Service of Ukraine.
The accounting entries not related to Manafort, King and Svoboda were blurred in the leaked documents, as otherwise the investigation into the scheme could be hampered, Sergii Leshchenko, a co-author of the report and a lawmaker from President Petro Poroshenko’s Bloc, said at a news briefing.
