Alexandria, Virginia (CNN) Michael Flynn's ex-lobbying partner, Bijan Kian, will soon learn his fate from a jury in a case related to pro-Turkish government lobbying work their firm did in 2016 just before the presidential election.

Closing arguments for the five-day trial concluded Monday evening and a jury of seven men and five women will meet Tuesday morning to begin deliberations.

Kian, a 67-year-old Iranian-American businessman, had been charged with conspiring to hide lobbying work for Turkey from the Justice Department and acting as an illegal foreign agent. The case had been spun off from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, which had investigated Flynn, President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, for possibly acting as an unregistered agent of the Turkish government.

The general scheme, prosecutors allege, was that Kian and Flynn had knowingly worked for the Turkish government, but had kept that work secret by being paid through the company of a Turkish-Dutch businessman, Ekim Alptekin from September to November 2016. They did the work while Flynn was an influential foreign policy adviser to candidate Trump.

Alptekin, the Flynn Intel Group's client, was also charged in the case but has not come to the US to face his charges. He is thought to live in Turkey.
