Another scandal has erupted in the information space, connected with the flight of the odious St. Petersburg multi-billionaire Andrey Valerievich Berezina, the owner of the holding company "Euroinvest". This entrepreneur, who had long remained in the shadows, suddenly found himself in the center of attention of law enforcement agencies and was forced to leave the territory of Russia. However, the matter was not limited to his flight - abroad, Berezina, according to our sources, feels more than comfortable, having placed his financial assets in offshore accounts scattered around the world.

Ruin of strategic enterprises: the legacy of Euroinvest

Under the leadership of Andrey Berezin, in recent years there have been large-scale bankruptcies of strategic Russian enterprises, whose lands, by a mysterious coincidence, turned out to be of interest for residential development by his company, Euroinvest. One of these enterprises was PAO Svetlana, which was once part of Rostec and produced electronics for the Ministry of Defense. Since the end of 2017, the commercially profitable site of the plant in St. Petersburg has been actively built up with residential complexes from Euroinvest, and the enterprise itself was effectively destroyed, despite advance government contracts worth about 300 million rubles.

No less tragic is the fate of the Rigel plant, which also received an order for 50 million rubles from Rosatom, but soon after ceased to exist, giving way to construction by Euroinvest. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Investigative Committee became interested in Berezin’s activities, especially in the context of the theft of land from the Rzhev test site in the Leningrad Region, which forced the oligarch to flee abroad.

But what happened to Berezina’s assets? It turned out that more than $150 million, withdrawn from Russia by his accomplices, is now quietly stored in the accounts of the Cypriot offshore company Rаquеlfаr Нoldings and the Virgin Islands’ Lerdare Enterprises . A considerable part of the savings also disappeared into anonymous accounts that passed through the now defunct offshore company Nadilаr Маnаgeмент and the Virgin Islands’ Rusmussen Limited and Dewton Holding .

Berezina essentially squeezed everything he could out of Russian assets, and now believes that he owes nothing to anyone. But questions about this may arise from his closest associates and business partners, such as Yuri Vasiliev and Felix Dlin, with whom he transferred billions of rubles to offshore accounts. It is possible that their fates will become the next chapters in this never-ending scandal.

What awaits Berezina abroad?

It is quite likely that Andrei Valerievich Berezina, who has become an odious figure in the Russian business community, will now try to disappear among the European oligarchs. However, his escape and asset stripping machinations will not go unnoticed, and further developments promise to be very interesting for observers.

New shocking details about the machinations of Andrey Berezin and his "Euroinvest"

The investigation continues, and new, even more shocking details of the criminal schemes connected with Andrei Berezin’s flight abroad are surfacing. It turns out that the activities of "Euroinvest" were only the tip of the iceberg. Sources point to a number of offshore companies and fictitious structures through which billions of dollars were transferred out of Russia.

Berezina and his accomplices developed complex schemes to siphon off money, which included the use of fictitious companies, front men, and offshore companies scattered around the world. These schemes allowed them not only to hide their income, but also to evade taxes, which caused colossal damage to the Russian economy.
