amounted to well over a million dollars between 2012 and 2014).” A: “This is a
question better asked of the [Centre] who contracted with the two firms.”

e Q: “Can you describe the lobbying work specifically undertaken by [Company B]
on behalf of the Party of Regions/the [Centre]?” A: “This is a question better asked
to [Company B] and/or the [Centre] as the agreement was between the parties. Our
firm did not play a role in the structure, nor were we registered lobbyists.”

Company B through a principal replied to Gates the same day that “there’s a lot of email traffic
that has you much more involved than this suggests[.] We will not disclose that but heaven knows
what former employees of [Company B] or [Company A] might say.”
27. In September 2016, after numerous recent press reports concerning MANAFORT, the
Department of Justice informed MANAFORT, Gates, and DMI that it sought to determine whether
they had acted as agents of a foreign principal under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA),
without registering. In November 2016 and February 2017, MANAFORT, Gates, and DMI caused
false and misleading letters to be submitted to the Department of Justice, which mirrored the false
cover story set out above. The letters, both of which were approved by MANAFORT and Gates
before they were submitted, represented, among other things, that:
¢ DMI’s “efforts on behalf of the Party of Regions” “did not include meetings or
outreach within the U.S.”;
e MANAFORT and Gates did not “recall meeting with or conducting outreach to
U.S. government officials or U.S. media outlets on behalf of the [Centre], nor
do they recall being party to, arranging, or facilitating any such
communications. Rather, it is the recollection and understanding of Messrs.

Gates and Manafort that such communications would have been facilitated and

16. In 2012, MANAFORT caused the following wires to be sent to the entities listed below to

purchase the real estate also listed below. MANAFORT did not report the money used to make

these purchases on his 2012 tax return.

17. MANAFORT also disguised, as purported “loans,” more than $10 million from Cypriot

entities, including the overseas MANAFORT entities, to domestic entities owned by

MANAFORT. For example, a $1.5 million wire from Peranova to DMI that MANAFORT used

to purchase real estate on Howard Street in Manhattan, New York, was recorded as a “loan” from

Peranova to DMI, rather than as income. The following loans were shams designed to reduce

fraudulently MANAFORT’s reported taxable income.

foreign bank accounts. For instance, in 2010, Schedule B of IRS Form 1040 had a “Yes” or “No”
box to record an answer to the question: “At any time during [the calendar year], did you have an
interest in or a signature or other authority over a financial account in a foreign country, such as a
bank account, securities account, or other financial account?” If the answer was “Yes,” then the
form required the taxpayer to enter the name of the foreign country in which the financial account
was located.

35. For each year in or about and between 2008 through at least 2014, MANAFORT had
authority over foreign accounts that required an FBAR filing. Specifically, MANAFORT was
required to report to the Treasury each foreign bank account held by the foreign MANAFORT
entities noted above in paragraph 11 that bears the initials PM. No FBAR reports were made by
MANAFORT for these accounts.

36. In each of MANAFORT?’s tax filings for 2008 through 2014, MANAFORT, with the
assistance of Gates, represented falsely that he did not have authority over any foreign bank
accounts. .MANAFORT and Gates had repeatedly and falsely represented in writing to
MANAFORT?’s tax preparer that MANAFORT had no authority over foreign bank accounts,
knowing that such false representations would result in false tax filings in MANAFORT’s name.
For instance, on October 4, 2011, MANAFORT’s tax preparer asked MANAFORT in writing: “At
any time during 2010, did you [or your wife or children] have an interest in or a signature or other
authority over a financial account in a foreign country, such as a bank account, securities account
or other financial account?” On the same day, MANAFORT falsely responded “NO.”
MANAFORT responded the same way as recently as October 3, 2016, when MANAFORT’s tax

preparer again emailed the question in connection with the preparation of MANAFORT’s tax

conducted by the [Centre’s] U.S. consultants, as directed by the [Centre]... .”;
« MANAFORT and Gates had merely served as a means of introduction of
Company A and Company B to the Centre and provided the Centre with a list
of “potential U.S.-based consultants—including [Company A] and [Company
B|—for the [Centre’s] reference and further consideration.”
¢ DMI “does not retain communications beyond thirty days” and as a result of
this policy, a “search has returned no responsive documents.” The November
2016 letter attached a one-page, undated document that purported to be a DMI
“Email Retention Policy.”
28. In fact, MANAFORT and Gates had: selected Company A and Company B; engaged in
weekly scheduled calls and frequent e-mails with Company A and Company B to provide them
directions as to specific lobbying steps that should be taken; sought and received detailed oral and
written reports from these firms on the lobbying work they had performed; communicated with
Yanukovych to brief him on their lobbying efforts; both congratulated and reprimanded Company
A and Company B on their lobbying work; communicated directly with United States officials in
connection with.this work; and paid the lobbying firms over $2 million from offshore accounts
they controlled, among other things. In addition, court-authorized searches of MANAFORT and
Gates’ DMI email accounts in 2017 and a search of MANAFORT’s Virginia residence in July
2017 revealed numerous documents, including documents related to lobbying, which were more
than thirty-days old at the time of the November 2016 letter to the Department of Justice.
29. As a second part of the lobbying scheme, in 2012, MANAFORT, with the assistance of
Gates, on behalf of Yanukovych and the Government of Ukraine’s Ministry of Justice, retained a

United States law firm to write a report on the trial of Tymoshenko, among other things. The

COUNT THREE
(Unregistered Agent Of A Foreign Principal)

42. Paragraphs 1 through 36 are incorporated here.

43. From in or about and between 2008 and 2014, both dates being approximate and inclusive,
within the District of Columbia and elsewhere, the defendant PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR.,
knowingly and willfully acted as an agent of a foreign principal, and caused and aided and abetted
Companies A, B, and C, and others, including former senior foreign politicians, to act as agents of
a foreign principal, to wit, the Government of Ukraine, the Party of Regions, and Yanukovych,
without registering with the Attorney General as required by law.

(22 U.S.C. §§ 612 and 618(a)(1); 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 3551 et seq.)

COUNT FOUR
(False and Misleading FARA Statements)

44. Paragraphs | through 36 are incorporated here.

45. On or about November 23, 2016, and February 10, 2017, within the District of Columbia
and elsewhere, the defendant PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., knowingly and willfully caused to be
made a false statement of a material fact, and omitted a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, in a document filed with and furnished to the Attorney General
under the provisions of FARA, to wit, the underlined statements:

e “[{DMI]’s efforts on behalf of the Party of Regions and Opposition Bloc did not

include meetings or outreach within the U.S.”

e “{NJeither [DMI] nor Messrs. Manafort or Gates had any agreement _with the

Centre] to provide services.”

¢ “[DMI] did provide the [Centre], at the request of members of the Party of Regions,

with a list of potential U.S.-based_consultants—including [Company A and
27



informally and without any visible relationship with the Government of Ukraine.” The group was
managed by a former European Chancellor, Foreign Politician A, in coordination with
MANAFORT. As explained by MANAFORT, a nongovernmental agency would be created to
retain this group, but it would act “at our quiet direction.” In or about 2013, Foreign Politician A
and other former politicians from the group lobbied United States Members of Congress, officials
in the Executive Branch, and their staffs in coordination with MANAFORT, Gates, Company A,
and Company B.

MANAFORT’s Hiding Foreign Bank Accounts And False Filings

32. United States citizens who have authority over certain foreign bank accounts—whether or
not the accounts are set up in the names of nominees who act for their principals—have reporting
obligations to the United States.

33. First, the Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations require United States citizens
to report to the Treasury any financial interest in, or signatory authority over, any bank account or
other financial account held in foreign countries, for every calendar year in which the aggregate
balance of all such foreign accounts exceeds $10,000 at any point during the year. This is
commonly known as a foreign bank account report or “FBAR.” The Bank Secrecy Act requires
these reports because they have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory
investigations or proceedings. The Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
is the custodian for FBAR filings, and FinCEN provides access to its FBAR database to law
enforcement entities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The reports filed by
individuals and businesses are used by law enforcement to identify, detect, and deter money
laundering that furthers criminal enterprise activity, tax evasion, and other unlawful activities.
34. Second, United States citizens are also obligated to report information to the IRS regarding

23


the lobbying firms’ activities “since the inception of the project a few weeks ago. It is my intention
to provide you with a weekly update moving forward.” Toward the end of that first year, in
November 2012, Gates wrote to Company A and Company B that the firms needed to prepare an
assessment of their past and prospective lobbying efforts so the “President” could be briefed by
“Paul” “on what Ukraine has done well and what it can do better as we move into 2013.”
23. At the direction of MANAFORT and Gates, Company A and Company B engaged in
extensive lobbying. Among other things, they lobbied multiple Members of Congress and their
staffs about Ukraine sanctions, the validity of Ukraine elections, and the propriety of
Yanukovych’s imprisoning his presidential rival, Yulia Tymoshenko. In addition, with the
assistance of Company A, MANAFORT directly lobbied a Member of Congress who had Ukraine
within his subcommittee’s purview, and reported in writing that lobbying effort to senior
Government of Ukraine leadership.
24, To minimize public disclosure of their lobbying campaign and distance their work from the
Government of Ukraine, MANAFORT, Gates, and others arranged for the Centre to be the nominal
client of Company A and Company B, even.though in fact the Centre was under the ultimate
direction of the Government of Ukraine, Yanukovych, and the Party of Regions. For instance,
MANAFORT and Gates selected Company A and Company B, and only thereafter did the Centre
sign contracts with the lobbying firms without ever meeting either company. Company A and
_ Company B were paid for their services not by their nominal client, the Centre, but solely through
offshore accounts associated with the MANAFORT entities, namely Bletilla Ventures Limited (in
Cyprus) and Jeunet Ltd. and Global Endeavour Inc. (in Grenadines). In total, Company A and
Company B were paid more than $2 million from these accounts between 2012 and 2014. Indeed,
various employees of Company A and Company B viewed the Centre as a fig leaf. As a Company

MANAFORT’s Wiring Money From Offshore Accounts Into The United States

14. In order to use the money in the offshore nominee accounts of the MANAFORT entities

without paying taxes on it, MANAFORT caused millions of dollars in wire transfers from these

accounts to be made for goods, services, and real estate. He did not report these transfers as

income.

15. From 2008 to 2014, MANAFORT caused the following wires, totaling over $12,000,000,

to be sent to the vendors listed below for personal items. MANAFORT did not pay taxes on this

income, which was used to make the purchases.

12. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was a bureau in the Treasury responsible for
administering the tax laws of the United States and collecting taxes owed to the Treasury.
The Scheme

13. Between in or around 2006 and 2017, both dates being approximate and inclusive, in the
District of Columbia and elsewhere, MANAFORT and others devised and intended to devise, and
executed and attempted to execute, a scheme and artifice to defraud, and to obtain money and
property by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises from the United
States and others. As part of the scheme, MANAFORT repeatedly provided and caused to be
provided false information to financial bookkeepers, tax accountants, and legal counsel, among

others.


A employee noted to another employee: Gates was lobbying for the Centre “in name only.
[Y]ou’ve gotta see through the nonsense of that[.]”

25. Neither Company A nor Company B registered as required with the United States
Department of Justice. In order to avoid such registration, Gates provided the companies a false
and misleading signed statement from the Centre, stating that it was not “directly or indirectly
supervised, directed, controlled, financed, or subsidized in whole or in part by a government of a
foreign country or a foreign political party.” In fact, the Centre took direction from Yanukovych
and the Party of Regions, as MANAFORT and Gates knew.

26. To conceal the scheme, MANAFORT and Gates developed a false and misleading cover
story that would distance themselves and the Government of Ukraine, Yanukovych, and the Party
of Regions from the Centre, Company A, and Company B. For instance, in the wake of extensive
press reports on MANAFORT and his connections with Ukraine, on August 16, 2016, Gates
communicated false and misleading talking points to Company B in writing, including:

¢ Q:“Can you describe your initial contact with [Company B] and the lobbying goals
he discussed with them?” A: “We provided an introduction between the [Centre]
and [Company B/Company A] in 2012. The [Centre] was seeking to retain
representation in Washington, DC to support the mission of the NGO.”

e A: “Our [MANAFORT and Gates’] task was to assist the [Centre to] find
representation in Washington, but at no time did our firm or members provide any
direct lobbying support.”

e A: “The structure of the arrangement between the [Centre] and [Company A /
Company B] was worked out by the two parties.”

e Q: “Can you say where the funding from for [sic] the [Centre] came from? (this

37. Paragraphs 1 through 36 are incorporated here.

38. From in or about and between 2006 and 2017, both dates being approximate and inclusive,
in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, the defendant PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., together
with others, knowingly and intentionally conspired to defraud the United States by impeding,
impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful governmental functions of a government agency,
namely the Department of Justice and the Treasury, and to commit offenses against the United
States, to wit: the violations of law charged in Counts Three, Four, and Five, and to unlawfully,
willfully, and knowingly fail to file with the Treasury an FBAR disclosing a financial interest in,
and signature and other authority over, a bank, securities, and other financial account in a foreign
country, which had an aggregate value of more than $10,000 in a 12-month period, in violation of
31 U.S.C. §§ 5314 and 5322(a).

39. . In furtherance of the conspiracy and to effect its illegal object, MANAFORT and his
conspirators committed the overt acts noted in Count Four and the overt acts, among others, in the

SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT

The Grand Jury for the District of Columbia charges:
Introduction

At all times relevant to this Superseding Indictment:

1. Defendant PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR. (MANAFORT) served for years as a political
consultant and lobbyist. Between at least 2006 and 2015, MANAFORT, through companies he
ran, acted as an unregistered agent of a foreign government and foreign political parties.
Specifically, he represented the Government of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine (Victor
Yanukovych, who was President from 2010 to 2014), the Party of Regions (a Ukrainian political
party led by Yanukovych), and the Opposition Bloc (a successor to the Party of Regions after
Yanukovych fled to Russia in 2014).

2. | MANAFORT generated tens of millions of dollars in income as a result of his Ukraine
work. From approximately 2006 through 2017, MANAFORT, along with others including
Richard W. Gates III (Gates), engaged in a scheme to hide the Ukraine income from United States

authorities, while enjoying the use of the money. From approximately 2006 to 2015, when

treatment of Tymoshenko was condemned by the United States and was viewed as a major hurdle
to normalization of relations with Ukraine. MANAFORT and Gates used one of their offshore
accounts to funnel $4 million to pay for the report, a fact that was not disclosed in the report or to
the public. They also retained a public relations firm (Company C) to create and implement a roll-
out plan for the report. MANAFORT and Gates again secretly used one of their offshore accounts
to pay Company C, funneling the equivalent of more than $1 million to pay for the work.
MANAFORT, Gates, and their conspirators developed detailed written lobbying plans in
connection with the dissemination of the law firm’s report, including outreach to United States
politicians and press.) MANAFORT reported on the law firm’s work and the lobbying plan to
representatives of the Government of Ukraine, including President Yanukovych. For instance, a
July 27, 2012, memorandum from MANAFORT noted: “[t]his document will address the global
rollout strategy for the [law firm’s] legal report, and provide a detailed plan of action{].” The plans
included lobbying in the United States.

30. Asa third part of the lobbying scheme, in or about 2012, MANAFORT, with the assistance
of Gates, on behalf of Yanukovych and the Party of Regions, secretly retained a group of former
senior European politicians to take positions favorable to Ukraine, including by lobbying in the
United States. The plan was for the former politicians, informally called the “Hapsburg group,”
to appear to be providing their independent assessments of Government of Ukraine actions, when
in fact they were paid lobbyists for Ukraine. In 2012 and 2013, MANAFORT used at least four
offshore accounts to wire more than 2 million euros to pay the group of former politicians.

31. MANAFORT explained in an “EYES ONLY” memorandum created in or about June 2012
that the purpose of the “SUPER VIP” effort would be to “assemble a small group of high-level

European highly influencial [sic] champions and politically credible friends who can act

Company B]—for the [Centre]’s reference and further consideration. [The Centre]

then contracted directly with [Company A and Company B] to provide services

within the United States for which these entities registered under the Lobbying
Disclosure Act.”

“Although Gates recalls interacting with [the Centre]’s consultants regarding

efforts in the Ukraine and Europe, neither Gates nor Mr. Manafort recall meeting

with or conducting outreach to U.S. government officials or U.S. media outlets on

behalf of the [the Centre], nor do they recall being party to, arranging, or facilitating

any_such communications. Rather, it is the recollection and understanding of

Messrs. Gates and Manafort that such communications would have been facilitated

and conducted by the [Centre]’s U.S. consultants, as directed by the [Centre]

pursuant to the agreement reached between those parties (to which [DMI] was not

a party).”

“[A] search has been conducted for correspondence containing additional

information related to the matters described in [the government’s] Letters.

However, as a result of [DMI’s] Email Retention Policy, which does not retain

communications beyond thirty days, the search has returned no responsive

communications.”

governmental corruption. Yanukovych, the Party of Regions, and the Government of Ukraine
were MANAFORT, DMP, and DMI clients.

10. The European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (the Centre) was created in or about 2012 in
Belgium as a mouthpiece for Yanukovych and the Party of Regions. It reported to the Ukraine
First Vice Prime Minister. The Centre was used by MANAFORT, Gates, and others in order to
lobby and conduct a public relations campaign in the United States and Europe on behalf of the
existing Ukraine regime. The Centre effectively ceased to operate upon the downfall of
Yanukovych in 2014.

which were used in the scheme (the MANAFORT entities):

activities without registering the affiliation. Specifically, a person who engages in lobbying or
public relations work in the United States (hereafter collectively referred to as lobbying) for a
foreign principal, such as the Government of Ukraine or the Party of Regions, is required to provide
a detailed written registration statement to the United States Department of Justice. The filing,
made under oath, must disclose the name of the foreign principal, the financial payments to the
lobbyist, and the measures undertaken for the foreign principal, among other information. A
person required to make such a filing must further include in all lobbying material a “conspicuous
statement” that the materials are distributed on behalf of the foreign principal, among other things.
The filing thus permits public awareness and evaluation of the activities of a lobbyist who acts as
an agent of a foreign power or foreign political party in the United States.
20. In furtherance of the scheme, from 2006 until 2014, both dates being approximate and
inclusive, MANAFORT, with the assistance of Gates and others, engaged in a multi-million dollar
_ lobbying campaign in the United States at the direction of Yanukovych, the Party of Regions, and
the Government of Ukraine. MANAFORT did so without registering and providing the
disclosures required by law.
21. As one part of the scheme, in February 2012, MANAFORT, with the assistance of Gates,
solicited two Washington, D.C., firms (Company A and Company B) to lobby in the United States
on behalf of Yanukovych, the Party of Regions, and the Government of Ukraine. For instance,
Gates wrote to Company A that it would be “representing the Government of Ukraine in
[Washington,] DC.”
22. MANAFORT repeatedly communicated in person and in writing with Yanukovych, and
Gates passed on directions to Company A and Company B. For instance, MANAFORT wrote
Yanukovych a memorandum dated April 8, 2012, in which he provided Yanukovych an update on

17


reporting the income to his tax preparer or the United States, spent millions of dollars on luxury
goods and services for himself and his extended family through payments wired from offshore
nominee accounts to United States vendors. MANAFORT also used these offshore accounts to
purchase multi-million dollar properties in the United States and to improve substantially another
property owned by his family.

6. In total, more than $75,000,000 flowed through these offshore accounts. MANAFORT,
with the assistance of Gates, laundered more than $30,000,000, income that he concealed from the
United States Department of the Treasury (Treasury), the Department of Justice, and others.

Relevant Individuals And Entities

7. MANAFORT was a United States citizen. He resided in homes in Virginia, Florida, and
Long Island, New York.

8. In 2005, MANAFORT and another partner created Davis Manafort Partners, Inc. (DMP) to
engage principally in political consulting. DMP had staff in the United States, Ukraine, and
Russia. In 2011, MANAFORT created DMP International, LLC (DMI) to engage in work for
foreign clients, in particular political consulting, lobbying, and public relations for the Government
of Ukraine, the Party of Regions, and members of the Party of Regions. DMI was a partnership
solely owned by MANAFORT and his spouse. Gates worked for both DMP and DMI and served
as MANAFORT’s right-hand man.

9. The Party of Regions was a pro-Russia political party in Ukraine. Beginning in
approximately 2006, it retained MANAFORT, through DMP and then DMI, to advance its
interests in Ukraine, the United States, and elsewhere, including the election of its Ukrainian slate
of candidates. In 2010, its candidate for President, Yanukovych, was elected President of Ukraine.
In 2014, Yanukovych fled Ukraine for Russia in the wake of popular protests of widespread

COUNT TWO
(Conspiracy To Launder Money)

40. Paragraphs 1 through 36 are incorporated here.

41. In or around and between 2006 and 2016, both dates being approximate and inclusive,

within the District of Columbia and elsewhere, the defendant PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., together

with others, did knowingly and intentionally conspire to:
(a) transport, transmit, and transfer monetary instruments and funds from places outside
the United States to and through places in the United States and from places in the United
States to and through places outside the United States, with the intent to promote. the
carrying on of specified unlawful activity, to wit: a felony violation of FARA, in violation
of Title 22, United States Code, Sections 612 and 618 (the “Specified Unlawful Activity”),
contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1956(a)(2)(A); and
(b) conduct financial transactions, affecting interstate and foreign commerce, knowing that
the property involved in the financial transactions would represent the proceeds of some
form of unlawful activity, and the transactions in fact would involve the proceeds of the
Specified Unlawful Activity, knowing that such financial transactions were designed in
whole and in part (i) to engage in conduct constituting a violation of sections 7201 and
7206 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and (ii) to conceal and disguise the nature,
location, source, ownership, and control of the proceeds of the Specified Unlawful
Activity, contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1956(a)(1)(A)(ii) and
1956(a)(1)(B)(i).

(18 U.S.C. §§ 1956(h) and 3551 et seq.)

26


MANAFORT was generating tens of millions of dollars in income from his Ukraine activities,
MANAFORT, with the assistance of Gates, avoided paying taxes by disguising tens of millions of
dollars in income as alleged “loans” from nominee offshore corporate entities and by making
millions of dollars in unreported payments from foreign accounts to bank accounts they controlled
and United States vendors. MANAFORT also used the offshore accounts to purchase real estate
in the United States, and MANAFORT used the undisclosed income to make improvements to and
refinance his United States properties.

3. In furtherance of the scheme, MANAFORT, with the assistance of Gates, funneled millions
of dollars in payments into numerous foreign nominee companies and bank accounts, opened by
them and their accomplices in nominee names and in various foreign countries, including Cyprus,
Saint Vincent & the Grenadines (Grenadines), and the Seychelles. MANAFORT concealed the
existence and ownership of the foreign companies and bank accounts, falsely and repeatedly
reporting to his tax preparers and to the United States that he had no foreign bank accounts.

4, In furtherance of the scheme, MANAFORT, with the assistance of Gates, concealed from
the United States his work as an agent of, and millions of dollars in payments from, Ukraine and
its political parties and leaders. Because MANAFORT, among other things, participated in a
campaign to lobby United States officials on behalf of the Government of Ukraine, the President
of Ukraine, and the Party of Regions, he'was required by law to report to the United States his
work and fees. MANAFORT did not do so. Instead, when the Department of Justice sent inquiries
to MANAFORT and Gates in 2016 about their activities, MANAFORT and Gates responded with
a series of false and misleading statements.

5. In furtherance of the scheme, MANAFORT used his hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a
lavish lifestyle in the United States, without paying taxes on-that income. MANAFORT, without

2


and elsewhere, in a matter within the jurisdiction of the executive branch of the Government of
the United States, the defendant PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., knowingly and willfully did cause
another: to falsify, conceal, and cover up by a scheme and device a material fact; to make a
materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement and.representation; and to make and use a
false writing and document knowing the same to contain a materially false, fictitious, and
fraudulent statement, to wit, the statements in the November 23, 2016, and February 10, 2017,
submissions to the Department of Justice quoted in paragraph 45.

(18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 1001(a), and 3551 et seq.)

FORFEITURE ALLEGATION

48. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2, notice is hereby given to the defendant that the United ~
States will seek forfeiture as part of any sentence in accordance with Title 18, United States Code,
Sections 981(a)(1)(C) and 982(a)(1), and Title 28, United States Code, Section 2461(c), in the
event of the defendant’s conviction. Upon conviction of the offense charged in Count Two, the
defendant PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or
personal, involved in such offense, and any property traceable to such property. Upon conviction
of the offenses charged in Counts One, Three, and Four, the defendant PAUL J. MANAFORT,
JR., shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived
from proceeds traceable to the offense(s) of conviction. Notice is further given that, upon
conviction, the United States intends to seek a judgment against the defendant for a sum of money
representing the property described in this paragraph (to be offset by the forfeiture of any specific
property).

49. The grand jury finds probable cause to believe that the property subject to forfeiture by

PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., includes, but is not limited to, the following listed assets:
