OREANDA-NEWS. Felix Seter, who collaborated with Donald Trump on real estate projects, assisted US intelligence agencies, including providing information about Russia's armaments and its business elite. This follows from a letter sent to the New York District Court by lawyers from Morgan Lewis Law Firm, representing Seter's interests in the fraud and money laundering case. A letter from Morgan Lewis is dated October 2009, but was only published on August 23 of this year in the official list of court documents.

A letter from Morgan Lewis states that while working in Russia in the late 1990s for AT&T telecommunications company, Seter began working with the CIA, the FBI and other secret agencies. This happened after he found out that he was wanted by the FBI because of suspicions of fraud. According to the document, Seter, in particular, provided assistance to the United States in trying to acquire Russian missile defense systems. “The US intelligence officer asked Felix to help the United States buy a high-tech anti-ballistic missile system from Russia. Using his Russian contacts, Felix entered a closed military facility in Russia, where this system was located, and transferred information about it to a US intelligence officer”, the letter said. Neither the name of the system that the United States wanted to purchase, nor the details of Seter's penetration of the base in the letter, are given. Open sources did not report missile defense procurement transactions between Washington and Moscow.

The source of the information received by Seter was a former KGB officer and arms dealer, indicated in another letter attached to the case against the businessman. The letter is dated August 2009 and written by Benton Campbell, who served as the attorney for the Eastern District of New York. According to Campbell, from this source, Sater learned about bin Laden's personal data, including the likely numbers of his satellite phones.
