The Diplomat article is a lobbyist hit piece! It's part of an ongoing smear in order to steal Shadmanov's companies, a rampage that's been funded by big Uzbek bucks (Aripov) directed at lobbyist  Steve Payne, Mike Pompeo & more.  This went to the extent of 'donating' to a Congressman @WesleyHuntTX  and directing him to make a factually inaccurate statement on the floor that Shadmanov was in bed with Russia (since been cleared and retracted) where in fact, his cement production giant was being used to rebuild Ukraine.  Does Payne & his partners get a segment of the company if stolen from Shadmanov?

Neither I nor any of the attorney's on Shadmanov's team (Marc Agnifilo - P. Diddy's lawyer) were contacted for comment on this propaganda piece.

It is disturbing when paid lobbyists are able to smear someone so badly that a country like the UAE thinks it's absolutely fine to extradite a person without any legal process or trial, to a country where that person faces human rights violations and torture.  What a disgrace!  US lobbyists who take on smear campaigns should not be able to do so with immunity.  These campaigns can result in torture and death.

@MarioNawfal  we have full evidence of the above and the team would likely accept an X spaces to discuss these issues.
