Re: Russian Yacht in Palau

All,

I got a message from National Security Coordinator ast night about a Russian vessel owned by Dmitry Pumpyanski. She stated he is a Russian Oligarch and that he is trying to register the vessel under a Palau Flag. I looked at this information compared to the information the Embassy gave us a couple weeks ago and it appears to be different vessels. Here are the URLs she provided.

Is there anything in our lane related to this, or should I just forward this over to the treasury folks for their review and action?

Thanks,

Hey

Please see below re: a possible effort by a Russian oligarch to use Palau as a haven for their yacht. Is our chain of command interested in this information? The Palauan government I previously tried to provide us with information a couple months ago on a yacht they believe had ties to one of the spin off Jeffery Epstein cases where they also demonstrated a willingness to assist USG/Dal in impounding the vessel.

Copying in our ALAT in Guam who is working with the Palauans directly.

I don't know if this information was passed to CD through other channels. I know passing the info to me.

hadn't heard anything as of

Hey guys,

CD and CID are still working on getting a system in place for reporting this kind of information — including getting the proper assessment open for intel collection. In the meantime, I've copied the CD and CID contacts for the oligarch task force on this email string for their awareness. They should be able to provide further guidance for you.

Please let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks,

I forgot to cc you on this email. I don't know if this is in our lane, but this is FYSA.
Thank you,

I don't know if CD is aware or doing anything yet, but I will forward through my chain. Though yachts typically fall outside of our core business, I know that this kind of information is important to treasury now if the person in question is actually an oligarchy.

Yes our chain of command is definitely interested in this type of information. There are efforts by CD and CID/DOJ related to the oligarchs.
