Tamir Sapir links Trump back directly to Lev Leviev. washingtonmonthly.com/2017/11/27/the…

The common link of all these men is Chabad.
‘Joining Trump’s November 2013 meeting with the Agalarovs were Alex Sapir and Rotem Rosen, a pair of New York-based Russian developers who helped to develop the Trump Soho hotel and condominium project in Manhattan.’

Rotem Rosen’s brother-in-law is Alex Sapir, son of Tamir Sapir, brother of Zina Sapir Rosen. Trump attended their wedding and Rosen was present at Cohen’s Manhattan infamous cigar meeting. Rosen is the former CEO of American Operations for Africa-Isreal, Lev Leviev’s corporation.

Jerry Rotonda is the chief financial officer of Deutsche Bank’s American wealth management division and owns an apartment in Trump Tower. Rotem Rosen has partnered with Rotonda in real estate deals, both men were present outside the Regency, supporting Cohen during court hearing.

Kushner borrowed $285 million from Deutsche Bank to purchase the New York Times building stake. Deutsche Bank and two companies tied to Leviev, Africa Israel Investments and Prevezon, have all recently been the subject of money laundering investigations.
