The Russian oligarch who was reportedly involved in a plan to assist Donald Trump in last year's election was named in the supposed 'dirty dossier' about the president.

Aras Agalarov, often called 'the Trump of Russia' on account of his love of putting his name on buildings, was named in an email sent to Donald Trump Jr as one of the people working with the Russian government to help sway the election for Trump Sr.

'This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin,' an email from British publicist Rob Goldstone to Don Jr read.

Aras is in reference to Agalarov, while Emin in his son - an Azerbaijani pop star who has appeared in music videos with Trump.

And now, The Intercept has revealed Agalarov was named in the dossier put together by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who had been hired by a 'strategic intelligence' firm that has a history of working with anti-Trump Republicans and some Democrats.

The report, according to the intercept, refers to illicit encounters Trump allegedly was involved in during previous trips to Russia.

The Intercept published a passage allegedly from the dossier, reading: 'Two knowledgeable St Petersburg sources claim Republican candidate TRUMP has paid bribes and engaged in sexual activities there but key witnesses silenced and evidence hard to obtain.

'Both believe Azeri business associate of TRUMP, Araz (sic) AGALAROV will know the details.'

It has now been revealed Agalarov was named in the dossier put together by a former British spy containing explosive allegations about Trump's allegedly sordid behavior during Russian visits

An excerpt of the report published by the Intercept also reads: 'The Kremlin’s cultivation operation on TRUMP also had comprised offering him various lucrative real estate development business deals in Russia, especially in relation to the ongoing 2018 World Cup soccer tournament.

'However, so far, for reasons unknown, TRUMP had not taken up any of these.'

Trump and his family have repeatedly denied having any business links to Russia, and earlier this year he said there were: 'no loans, no nothing'.

Despite his recent denials, Trump has done business in Russia in the past, including the 2013 Miss Universe pageant - which went to Moscow after Agalarov paid a hefty sum - and other products.

The Atlantic detailed some of Trump's previous dealings in Russia, including: an attempted vodka launch in 2007, and various other potential commercial deals.

In 2013, after the Miss Universe pageant, Trump himself tweeted at Agalarov: '@AgalarovAras I had a great weekend with you and your family. You have done a FANTASTIC job. TRUMP TOWER-MOSCOW is next. EMIN was WOW!'

President Vladimir Putin is known to be fond of Agalarov, and awarded him with the Order of Honor, one of Russia’s highest civilian awards, in 2013

Trump also tweeted about Aras Agalarov and his son, Emin, in the days after the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow

He also tweeted to Emin Agalarov: '@eminofficial Emin, your performance at Miss Universe was fantastic - you are a STAR!'

President Vladimir Putin is known to be fond of Agalarov, and awarded him with the Order of Honor, one of Russia’s highest civilian awards, just days before the Miss Universe Pageant in 2013.

A long-time Western diplomat also told DailyMail.com said the bootlegger turned-billionaire also seems to be the Russian leader's right-hand man when it comes to carrying out development projects and serving as the liaison between him and Trump.

Initially outside the Kremlin leader's charmed circle, Agalarov has delivered for the president in a way few other oligarchs have managed.

The tycoon reportedly had urged Putin to attend the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow to meet Trump (Pictured: Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo and Agalarov onstage)

Putin urgently needed a new university to be built in Vladivostok, a city on Russia's economically struggling Pacific coastline, and Agalarov's Crocus Group met the challenge.

The diplomat added: 'All the signs are that Donald Trump and Aras Agalarov are close, and enjoy each others' company, and this was manna to Putin.

'What's more, if there are skeletons in Trump's dealings with Russia, Aras is the man who will know where they are.

'And if he knows, you wouldn't bet on Putin not also knowing.'

In the wake of Don Jr's emails being released, Agalarov has attempted to distance himself from the controversy.

Putin and Trump met face to face at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, on July 7, 2017

Agalarov told Business FM: 'It is Emin who is acquainted with him (Trump Jr), I'm not.

'We held Miss Universe together and then there were these contacts. They are about the same age, so how do I know in which way they communicated? Well they did communicate about something, but I do not know (what).'

He was asked by the host: 'Have you seen the letter itself, the correspondence that Junior Trump posted?'

Aras replied: 'I think it's some kind of fiction.

'I do not know who is making this up. What does this have to do with Hillary Clinton? I don't know.'
