Concord Management and Consulting on Wednesday pleaded not guilty to a charge brought by special counsel Robert Mueller that the company was party to a conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Concord is one of three Russian companies and 13 Russians indicted in February by Mueller on charges stemming from interference in the 2016 presidential election using social media. The company, which was represented in federal court by attorney Eric Dubelier, is the only defendant that has yet to appear in court.
When indicted, none of the Russians were in U.S. custody and it is unlikely they ever will be. Mueller’s prosecutors said in a court filing last week that Russia’s prosecutor general has declined to serve the defendants with a summons, and Russia does not allow extradition of its citizens to Russia.
“Alas, they are not here,†said Jeannie Rhee, a veteran trial attorney who joined Mueller’s team last July. She is also a former deputy assistant attorney general at the Department of Justice.
