ロシアの女性スパイ、Maria Butinaのボーイフレンドとして知られるPaul Ericksonが
マネロンや詐欺の容疑で起訴された
Paul Erickson, the American political operative and boyfriend of admitted Russian
agent Maria Butina, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in South Dakota on
charges of wire fraud and money laundering.
The U.S. attorney for the district of South Dakota is handling the prosecution, which
is separate from the case that was lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C.

Erickson, 56, was arrested on Tuesday and entered a plea of not guilty at an
arraignment, according to the court filings. His attorney, Clint Sargent, said in a
statement: “Mr. Erickson is anxious to let the criminal justice process play out and
believes a story different from the Government’s will emerge.”
