In reply to the discussion: New Book, ‘Clinton Cash,’ Questions Foreign Donations to Foundation [View all]candelista
(1,986 posts)27. Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk is the largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation
Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, 54, has courted the Clintons for at least nine years in the United States, the Alps and Ukraine.
Earlier this year, he was confirmed as the largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation, whose aims include the creation of economic opportunity and growth. He also has links to the Tony Blair Foundation and represented its biggest single donor in 2013.
The fourth richest man in Ukraine, Pinchuk owns Interpipe Group, a Cyprus-incorporated manufacturer of seamless pipes used in oil and gas sectors.
Newsweek has seen declarations and documents from Ukraine that show a series of shipments from Interpipe to Iran in 2011 and 2012, including railway parts and products commonly used in the oil and gas sectors.
Among a number of high-value invoices for products related to rail or oil and gas, one shipment for $1.8m (1.7m) in May 2012 was for seamless hot-worked steel pipes for pipelines and destined for a city near the Caspian Sea.
Both the rail and oil and gas sectors are sanctioned by the US, which specifically prohibits any single invoice to the Iranian petrochemical industry worth more than $1m.
