As noted, the defendant repented of crimes.

“I regret what I did, regret all my actions that brought us here,” the publication quotes Manafort.

Earlier, the court sentenced Manafort to four years in prison on charges of financial crimes.

At the end of October 2017, it became known that Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates are accused of conspiring against the United States, hiding lobbying activities in the interests of Ukraine from the authorities, and also money laundering.

US special prosecutor Robert Muller recommended from 19 to 24 years in prison for Manafort.
