Alexander Smirnov ’s deal with Justice Department special counsel David Weiss to plead guilty comes just weeks after prosecutors filed new tax evasion charges against him. The two sides will recommend a sentence of at least 48 months behind bars and no more than 72 months, according to the agreement.
Prosecutors say Smirnov in fact had only routine business dealings with the company in 2017 and made the bribery allegations after he “expressed bias” against Joe Biden while he was a presidential candidate. Smirnov has agreed to plead guilty to charges of tax evasion and causing a false FBI record, according to court papers.
