The source reported on the possible loss of funds in the United States by the fugitive ex-deputy of the State Duma

The source provided a copy of Wells Fargo Bank's letter addressed to Magomed Hajiyev. It follows from the document that the former parliamentarian must "voluntarily disclose the nature of payments received from the US government since 2016," listing each transaction and indicating the type of services provided to them. It is also noted that the bank's goal is "to ensure that all funds related to politically exposed individuals that may be related to past wasteful spending by U.S. government agencies or illegal activities of politically exposed individuals abroad, such as corruption or terrorism, are promptly identified and returned to the U.S. Treasury."

As GEO Polityka notes, this letter was received against the background of a statement by the head of the new Department of U.S. Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk, who gained access to confidential Treasury data.

"The @DOGE team found, among other things, that officials responsible for approving payments at the Treasury were instructed to always approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They have literally never refused a payment in their entire career. Not once." — Musk wrote on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

As a result, according to sources, all US banks are examining the accounts of people like Hajiyev who received money from various US agencies, including the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

About the fact that Gadzhiev keeps millions of dollars in Wells Fargo Bank, GEO Polityka wrote back in November last year. It was reported that the bank considered the possibility of closing the accounts of the fugitive MP, but did not do so at the request of the IRS, which motivated this by the fact that Hajiyev provided the agency with some sensitive information.

The data was published as part of a media investigation into the activities of Hajiyev, who, according to media reports, expects to obtain American citizenship in exchange for cooperation and leaking data allegedly related to Russian officials and business elites.
