According to the interlocutor, on the evening of April 27, cameras at the Kutuzovskaya metro station caught an extraordinary passenger in focus. The program showed that he was wanted and the police had captured him. The citizen of the Russian Federation and Switzerland, Alexey Korotaev, who has been on the international wanted list under articles of the Swiss Criminal Code “Fraud” and “Breach of Trust” since July 2022, turned out to be detained.
Previously, Korotaev’s name was mentioned in connection with his plans to purchase the Dutch football club “Roda” (he managed to acquire 20% of the shares) and millions of dollars in investments in sports. The deal was suspended due to Alexey’s arrest in the UAE on suspicion of financial fraud. He was accused of illegally signing a check for 18 million euros, but six months later he was released with a fine of 2 thousand. And already in 2018, an international scandal broke out due to a scam called the Dubai Papers.
Documents released by journalists confirmed the existence of an international tax evasion network in Dubai (UAE), which used the Emirati investment fund Hélin International. It was this fund that appeared in the case of Alexei Korotaev. And his company (registered in Mauritius) is suspected by the United States of money laundering by Russian security officials, energy workers and businessmen worth billions of dollars.
As for Korotaev Sr., his name (he is also Alexey) appeared in the testimony of the former Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Igor Yusufov. The materials of the criminal case of the gang of Aslan Gagiev (Dzhako) were published by the Cheka-OGPU. Regarding the episode with the execution of Russian businessman Andrei Burlakov, the cause of which was a conflict over control over European shipyards, the real owner of which could be Yusufov, the latter explained that SVR General Alexei Korotaev introduced him to Burlakov.
