Fridman hired an ex-director of the FBI, Louis J. Freeh, to defend his performance in the Zed technology, created by the Spanish businessman Javier Pérez Dolset, after the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor accused him of having allegedly participated “in a known practice in the Russian criminal environment as a raider, or the illegal absorption of companies “after causing their financial drowning.
In the report presented to the court of instruction number 6 of the National Court, Freeh, who was also a federal district judge in the United States, supports his version of the facts. “We have concluded that there is no evidence to prove that Fridman has participated in any criminal activity with respect to Zed,” said the document signed by Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, the office of the former FBI director.
The Prosecutor's Office pointed out that Fridman's plan to favor Russian investors culminated in a purchase offer in 2016 for an amount of 20 million, “well below the value of the company after the stoppage and blocking maneuvers” that would have led finished. However, according to Freeh, “we did not find any evidence to support this link.”
In his report, the former FBI director explains that “my team, to carry out this analysis, has included two former federal prosecutors, a lawyer who previously worked with Interpol and two former FBI special agents, including Marc Varri, who previously served as Legal Attaché of the United States Embassy in Madrid. “
In this position, Varri was, precisely, the FBI chief representative for the United States government in Spain and was responsible for fostering a strategic collaboration to coordinate investigation and security forces operations. “We have acted with the highest level of objectivity, taking into account all available information, even if it could be detrimental to Fridman,” says Freeh.
