Cash Patel, Donald Trump’s candidate for the FBI director, has been scrutinized because of his commercial relations, including the shares contract in a group that owns Shin, the fast Chinese retail stores accused of using forced work.

Patel stated in the financial disclosure model that it carries shares of $ 1 million -5 million dollars in Elite Depot, a group of Kayman Islands, according to business records in the United Kingdom, owned by Sheen. The class was the largest assets in the disclosure of Patel.

American human rights groups and American legislators, including Republican Marco Rubio, former Senate Member of Florida, who is now Secretary of State Trump, has now used forced work in his operations in China.

Patel is one of the most controversial candidates in the Trump administration. He is seen as a loyal to Trump, as he defended the theories of the extremist conspiracy of law and threatened revenge against the opponents of the Maga Movement in the government and the media.
