Beschreibung:

Court documents filed by Orange Revolution leader Yulia Tymoshenko allege the Firtash and Manafort met in 2008 regarding a Manhattan real estate deal that ultimately fell through. The deal involved Firtash pumping $112 million into New York's Drake Hotel to replace it with a luxury skyscraper.

Firtash is quoted as saying of Manafort: “I can tell you he’s a real specialist. He won three elections in Ukraine. He knew what he was doing.”
