After the largest Russian banks were disconnected from the SWIFT system and Visa and Mastercard left Russia, cryptocurrencies became a salvation for ordinary Russians. And not only for simple ones: crypto exchanges help corrupt officials withdraw “black cash” to foreign accounts, whose origin no one is interested in.
One of the offices for transferring cash into cryptocurrency is located on the 65th floor of the Federation-Vostok tower in Moscow City. Correspondents of the Dossier Center used her services and were convinced that the scheme worked. And at the same time – found the beneficiaries of this exchanger.
It turned out that the office where “black cash” is exchanged for crypto belongs to the family of State Duma deputy Andrei Lugovoy. If you remember, this is him poisoned with radioactive polonium former FSB officer Alexandra Litvinenko in London.
According to our calculations, a business can bring in $5 million per year. By the way, by an amazing coincidence, in the State Duma Lugovoi deals with issues
In Moscow City, it’s not just the Lugovoi couple who run the crypto-laundering facility. For example, the largest crypto exchange in Russia Garantex, as it turned out, is connected with the legendary security official Oleg Feoktistov, the creator of a department in the FSB, which was called “Sechin’s special forces.” Garantex has long been under sanctions due to the extremely dubious origin of its crypto assets, but this does not interfere with transferring cash through the exchange to Western banksthe Dossier Center was convinced.
How a whole crypto market appeared in Moscow City, who its clients are, and how the scheme for withdrawing cash from Russia bypassing sanctions and bans is structured, see the investigation of the Dossier Center.
