Hunter Biden-linked real estate firm got at least $100M from Russian oligarch: sources
 [NY Post] A real estate company with ties to first son Hunter Biden received more than $100 million from a Russian billionaire for property investments across the US that date back a decade, sources have told The Post.The hefty cash injections into Rosemont Realty came from Elena Baturina — one of Russia’s wealthiest women, the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, and a close ally of Moscow tyrant Vladimir Putin, the sources said. In one portfolio deal, Baturina paid at least $40 million to Rosemont to invest in office buildings across the country, according to a source with knowledge of the transactions. That money went toward the 2012 purchase of seven office buildings in Texas, Colorado, Alabama, New Mexico and Oklahoma, according to deal-related emails obtained by DailyMail.com. The investment purportedly came from Inteco Management AG — the Swiss company owned by Baturina. This isn’t the first time President Biden’s 52-year-old son has been linked to Baturina, whose late husband Yuri Luzhkov was mayor of Russia’s capital for more than 18 years before being dismissed by then-President Dmitry Medvedev in 2010.... [Remember the hullaballoo in Kazakhstan not too long ago?] ....The emails detailing Baturina’s $40 million real estate investments came from a leak obtained by the Kazakhstani Initiative on Asset Recovery, an anti-corruption group focusing on the former Soviet republic. The messages were exchanged between Archer and Kenes Rakishev — a Kazakhstani businessman who was photographed with Hunter and Joe Biden at the Cafe Milano dinner. "Inteco, who I know you know, is taking a significant equity piece ... We’d love to have you on board," Archer wrote in an email to Rakishev.
