Manafort sentenced to 47 months in prison

Former campaign manager of Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, was sentenced to 47 months in prison in the US state of Virginia.

Manafort has been found guilty of bank and tax fraud. He earned a lot of money with lobbying for pro-Russian forces in Ukraine and hid millions of dollars on foreign bank accounts. As a result, the US tax authorities lost tax revenue. Manafort also lied to banks to borrow loans.
