Nick Muzin

US lobbyist hired in 2017 for PD-related lobbying in the United States. Reporting says the Tirana prosecution investigated a payment to him that he declared in a US FARA filing as made on behalf of the Democratic Party of Albania. The money-laundering charge was dropped in 2019, reportedly so that he could cooperate with US authorities.
