Who's idea was it to set up the meeting?
Agalarov's father was given the Order of Honor of the Russian Federation in 2013 by President Vladimir Putin, and claimed the two were going to build a Trump Tower in Russia. The family is close to Putin's government, and Aras Agalarov set up a meeting between Donald Trump and Putin's former economy minister, Herman Gref, now CEO of Russia's state-controlled Sberbank PJSC, on Donald Trump's last visit to Moscow, in November 2013.

The Troika Laundromat
Troika Laundromat was a collection of 70 offshore shell companies whose controllers used them to move billions of dollars of private wealth from Russia to the west. About $4.6bn was paid into the Troika network, and a similar sum was paid out of it. It was operated by staff at an independent arm of the Russian investment bank Troika Dialog, which has now been merged with one of Russia’s two big state-owned banks. The network was like a washing machine: money arrived from many sources. Most transfers were at Lithuania’s Ukio Bank, closed by the authorities in 2013.- Source: Wikipedia Sberbank
The main purpose of the system we’ve named the Troika Laundromat was to channel billions of dollars out of Russia. But it was much more than a money laundering system: The Laundromat allowed Russian oligarchs and politicians to secretly acquire shares in state-owned companies, to buy real estate both in Russia and abroad, to purchase luxury yachts, to hire music superstars for private parties, to pay medical bills, and much more.
To protect themselves, the wealthy people behind this system used the identities of poor people as unwitting signatories in the secretive offshore companies that ran the system.
