Nonetheless an additional scandal involving Western mercenaries engulfs Ukraine — RT Earth Information

A lawsuit alleges that the American founder of the ‘Mozart’ group is a intercourse pest and conman
A lawsuit submitted by a previous member of the mercenary Mozart Group has lifted severe queries about the controversial outfit, together with its founder – former US marine Andy Milburn. It is just the newest illustration of how grift in the Ukraine conflict has led to incredibly critical repercussions. What is ‘Mozart Group’?Launched in mid-March 2022, the firm was built to make a significant influence in the Ukraine conflict, in each and every way. Its identify was awareness searching for, a provocative pun on Wagner, the Russian personal military business that in recent weeks has been steadily liberating Ukraine-occupied territory in the Donbass. The media-savvy, combat-knowledgeable Milburn was highly helpful at inserting himself into the protection, remaining greatly quoted by Western information retailers.

“Driven by the same professional-Ukrainian spirit that has set yellow and blue flags flying across the Western world, Mr. Milburn feels strongly that this is a just war,” the New York Moments oozed in October 2022. “But there are other forces running on him — boredom, guilt, his have sorrows and a quest for redemption.”Mozart’s representatives publicly sought to characterize by themselves not as an army-for-employ, but a workforce of seasoned veterans who really don’t personally have guns, but provide essential navy teaching to the Ukrainian military, and extract civilians from the frontline. Whilst Milburn produced a lot of his a few many years of services, together with deployments in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia, he also claimed personnel would be fired on the place if they engaged in immediate beat with Russian forces.The complete Western media purchased the line that Mozart was not in Ukraine for belligerent applications. The thought that a bunch of battle-hardened marines would basically show up in a battle zone to assistance – but disavow violence even though they were being there – was often a farce and new responses by Milburn make this very clear. Speaking to RT on 28 January, he mentioned his main aim was to “kill Russians”:“Why do we practice guys? It is not simply just to defend by themselves, it is to kill the enemy. Everything we’re accomplishing is exactly inside of the parameters of NATO coverage. The West is providing Ukraine with deadly weapons that eliminate Russians…When we prepare soldiers that is their goal. It’s why we instruct them how to function their weapons.”Despite Milburn’s boasts that Mozart Team “is filling a specialized niche no a single is filling,” and his consequent perception that sizable Western authorities funding really should be “an complete no-brainer,” neither sponsorship nor corresponding riches have been forthcoming. The organization has, to his immense disappointment, only been given fairly modest sums from unnamed US-primarily based financiers with Ukrainian ancestry, and from a humanitarian corporation for the objective of evacuations.Why was the leader of Mozart sued?A lawsuit taken by Andy Bain, Mozart’s former main financial officer, versus Milburn, and “defendants John Doe 1 by 10,” who are “individuals or entities who have acted together with, or beneath the path of” Milburn, might offer a clue as to why Washington and its global lackeys have been so reticent to stump up any money for the effort.

Bain’s fit paints a shocking photo of an completely chaotic, corrupt, felony corporation, in which “on several occasions” Milburn “has taken steps which have and will continue to result in damage to the business.” A 26-stage listing, functioning from a-to-z, outlines the alleged behavior. This bombshell rap sheet has been fully disregarded by the Western media given that its publication.They incorporate “threatening and harassing a personal organization proprietor who volunteered a recently refurbished condominium for Mozart Team,” a home where by Milburn held “numerous late night parties,” and saved “a stray untrained dog…which defecated and urinated freely.” When the proprietor evicted the business due to this carry out, Milburn is claimed to have bombarded them with “hostile messages,” like 1 in which he warned “you have no thought who you are working with” and “will not escape unscathed.” Milburn also “unilaterally” employed a Ukrainian lady he achieved on a dating app – “and with whom he had a prior personalized relationship” – as his personalized assistant, paying her an annual salary of $90,000, “which is at least four periods a lot more than the normal payment amount for a Ukrainian primarily based staff in this kind of situation.”Milburn purportedly manufactured “unwanted sexual developments and propositions to a feminine workplace manager” too, and when these were being rejected, he “preemptively labeled her as a liar”to Bain and quite possibly others, “in the function she would not maintain silent about his steps.” 

Bain even more charges that Milburn embezzled donations and enriched himself by means of a number of ripoffs. For example, he is mentioned to have secretly meddled with donation back links on Mozart’s site, so cash intended for the firm was in fact redirected to one more business he set up. However yet another organization entity with an almost identical title to Mozart Group’s is also evidently currently being recognized “to confuse donors and proceed to facilitate the diversion of money.”It could be the scenario that particular donors realized their cash would be spent on very doubtful, if not outright legal routines. Milburn allegedly solicited cash from private organizations, “promising to use people cash to pay out bribes to senior military leaders to make military decisions favorable to safeguarding distinct private assets, irrespective of harm these selections may perhaps have to Ukraine’s army position,” as a result “forcing the Ukrainian authorities to divert badly desired Ukrainian counter-intelligence methods to keep track of his illegal things to do.”Bain statements to have gained “numerous threatening texts”from Milburn when he left the firm, including claims “to notify the media about non-existent compromising information and facts,” ought to he go community with what he realized. If Mozart’s chief economic officer is to be thought – and the character of his accusations suggest he may well have incriminating evidence to help them – senior Ukrainian armed forces officers identified as Milburn the “Crazy American”, and wished he’d “go dwelling and cease conserving our country.”Other spots of the filing suggest Milburn’s general public declarations that Mozart did not and never would interact in navy routines had been lies, and the enterprise is an energetic mercenary outfit with programs to grow its operations. Bain also statements Milburn failed to receive the required approvals to comply with International Targeted visitors in Arms Restrictions (ITAR):

“Outside the scope of primary company curiosity in Ukraine, sought industrial contracts for military services instruction in Armenia which would divert resources from Ukraine, acquiring accomplished so knowingly and intentionally with no United States Section of Condition registration or acceptance in violation of ITAR.”***A working day right after Bain’s lawsuit was submitted, Milburn responded with an enormous number of counter-accusations through many social media platforms, posts which he afterwards deleted, proclaiming Bain was a “disgruntled” previous worker who himself had been accused of money and sexual misconduct.Milburn even claimed Bain at one particular point attempted to market Mozart to the Taliban. A wild charge, but plausible, given the eagerness of foreigners to line their pockets off the back of the Ukraine conflict. As RT has regularly documented, the Global Legion – such as its celebrity fraudster spokeswoman – is a hotbed of embezzlement.There are apparent indicators that Ukrainian armed forces personnel, and the country’s civilian authorities, are not previously mentioned profiteering from the conflict, and partaking in criminal offense in the method. A drunken Andy Milburn testified to this on a December podcast, in which he claimed it was a “corrupt, f****d-up modern society,” run by “plenty of f****d up men and women.” Comically, this is referenced in Bain’s lawsuit. He states Milburn was “significantly intoxicated and building unfounded accusations and derogatory reviews in opposition to the government of Ukraine and the Ukrainian army.”
