Umar Kremlev, sanctioned by Ukraine in 2024 over ties to Putin, heads the International Boxing Association and paid through its Dubai-based IB Challenger company for the 50-guest, three-day after-wedding party in the Bahamas.
The tab and the reaction
- Kremlev rented a private island at about $100,000 a night and paid $70,000 for fireworks.
- Trump Jr. and Bettina Trump called it a generous gift from a friend; Donald Trump said he never heard of Kremlev.
- Robert Garcia (Rep-D California), the top Democrat on House Oversight, asked what Kremlev got in return.
