The relatives of Sergei were ready for such a turn of events. In March 2021, his son filed an application for the disappearance of Sergey back in 2000. The last time he was seen in Spain.
Alive or not Sergey Zimin is a really big question. Sources say that in the case of the Orekhovsky organized crime group, the members of which often visited Spain, there are indications about the murder of the “authority” of the Coptevsky organized crime group. He at the command of the leaders of Orekhovsky (in particular, Sergei Butorin, who was familiar with Sergey) was invited to ride a yacht. During the voyage, they strangled, and the body with a tied load was thrown into the sea. Due to the fact that everything happened in another state, there is no body, they did not work out this episode.
