Per the law, foreign nationals are not allowed to contribute to U.S. elections, thus putting Michel at fault for using the money from Low to contribute to a political campaign.
“Prosecutors also allege that Michel and Low, who has been accused of stealing more than $4 billion from his country’s sovereign wealth fund, conspired to lobby President Donald Trump’s administration in 2017 to drop an investigation into Low’s finances and remove a Chinese dissident, Guo Wengui, from the US. Guo was arrested earlier this month on fraud and money-laundering charges,” Insider reported.
