Feds Seek Forfeiture of Clarendon Home in Manafort Case

Feds Seek Forfeiture of Clarendon Home in Manafort Case

by ARLnow.com October 31, 2017 at 3:45 pm

(Updated at 5 p.m.) A nearly $1.8 million home in Clarendon may be subject for forfeiture to the federal government as a result of the case against former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort.

A 12-count indictment of Manafort, accusing him of laundering money and failing to register as a foreign lobbyist, details his alleged transfer of money from overseas shell companies to buy cars, luxury goods and expensive real estate.

Among the properties is a home on the 1000 block of N. Edgewood Street, adjacent to to Green Pig Bistro and steps from the heart of Clarendon. Arlington County property records show the house, first built in 1920, was purchased in September 2012 for $1.9 million and is currently assessed at just over $1.75 million. Manafort’s daughter, Andrea, is listed as the owner.

The indictment alleges that the home was purchased with money transferred from a shell company in Cyprus and seeks its forfeiture, along with the forfeiture of three Manafort-linked properties in New York.

Of how can manafort put up his property's for collateral if they are subject to seizure by the Federal Government?.

He was indicted for money laundering so you'd think ALL his assets are subject to seizure, cash and property.

How is he supposed to meet bail amounts with his assets gone?.

He okayed the end to house arrest IF Manafort met all the $$$ requirements.

Looks as if house arrest remains.
