In a court filing, Justice officials said they were moving to dismiss the case against Mr. Rafiekian in light of an appellate court ruling.
In a statement to CNN, Mark MacDougall, an attorney for Mr. Rafiekian, said that the case “should never have been indicted.” Mr. Rafiekian was convicted in 2019 on charges of conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government, conspiring to make false statements and willful omissions in a Foreign Agents Restriction Act filing, as well as acting as an agent of a foreign government for his illegal lobbying in the U.S. for the Turkish government.
In the summer of 2016, Mr. Flynn along with Mr. Rafiekian used Flynn Intel Group, Mr. Flynn’s lobbying firm, to attack Mr. Gulen’s reputation. They kept it a secret that the Turkish government was paying them to do so, according to the indictment.
