"A New York lawyer who helped manage luxury properties in Manhattan and the Hamptons for sanctioned Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg avoided jail for money laundering.
Robert Wise was sentenced Monday to a year of home detention by US District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil in Manhattan, followed by a year of probation. The government hadn’t asked for jail time for Wise, noting the 83-year-old’s several health problems. He appeared at the hearing in a wheelchair pushed by his son.
Wise, of Pelham, New York, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit international money laundering in April, admitting that he facilitated almost $4 million in payments for taxes and insurance on six homes in New York and Florida owned by Vekselberg worth a total about $75 million.
The properties included a nine-bedroom, 11-bathroom spread on Duck Pond Lane in Southampton, New York, and a four-bedroom Park Avenue apartment. Vekselberg acquired them through a series of shell companies between 2008 and 2017, before he was sanctioned in 2018.
Vekselberg was part of a group of oligarchs, including Oleg Deripaska, sanctioned by the Treasury Department at the time over Russia’s “malign activities,” including its occupation of Crimea and its interference in the 2016 election."

I wonder if Wise provided investigators any information on those shell companies and who else may have received or moved money through them?
