    A former CNBC and Fox News employee has been arrested in London for his work as a television producer for a Russian media baron tied to aggression in Ukraine over the past eight years, particularly in Crimea, U.S. prosecutors announced Thursday.

    Jack Hanick, 71, also known as “John,” was arrested in London on Feb. 3 in what U.S. Attorney Damian Williams described as the first-ever criminal indictment charging a violation of U.S. sanctions resulting from Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

    Hanick's lawyers in New York and London didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. If he is successfully extradited, the sanctions charge carries a potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

    Williams said Hanick worked for years for Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev — the founder of a Russian Orthodox news channel, Tsargrad TV — even after U.S. sanctions banned U.S. citizens from working for or doing business with him.

    “The Justice Department will do everything it can to stamp out Russian aggression and interference,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen said in a news release.

    Olsen said that after Malofeyev was sanctioned for threatening Ukraine and providing financial support to the Donetsk separatist region, Hanick "knowingly chose to help Malofeyev spread his des

    A Putin Crony Enlisted a Former Fox News Director to Tap $10 M in Frozen Assets. It Ended Badly

    Konstantin Malofeyev, a sanctioned Russian Oligarch, has been indicted in New York for attempting to tap $10 million in frozen U.S. assets, a scheme he allegedly executed with the help of a former Fox News director, American Jack Hanick.

    Malofeyev is an arch-conservative Russian nationalist and media mogul with close ties to Vladimir Putin. He was sanctioned by the United States in late for acting as &#;one of the main sources of financing for Russians promoting separatism in Crimea&#; and for threatening the &#;territorial integrity of Ukraine&#; by supporting the breakaway Donetsk People’s Republic in the east of that country.

    At the time, Malofeyev was about to launch — in partnership with Hanick — a Fox News clone in Moscow, catering to Russia&#;s religious right. Despite the imposition of sanctions, that launch went ahead as planned, as did the creation of another Kremlin-friendly news network in Greece, and an attempted launch of a similar venture in Bulgaria. Hanick was indicted last month (and is now in jail awaiting extradition to the United States) on charges he violated sanctions that barred him from doing business with the Russian, and also lied to t
