Talyanskaya was employed as in-house legal counsel at Terra since Apr 2018
Originally, the sole director of Terra was Pavel Ezubov, a cousin of Oleg Deripaska, who worked w/Manafort and Gates
Terra and Deripaska's EN+ Consult worked out of same address

"On 24th October 2018 an individual named Barry Searle was arrested for suspected money laundering after leaving the premises of Terra/EN+ and approximately £100,000 in cash, in two currencies, was seized from him. Later, he was released without charge."

On 26th October 2018 Sergio Fernandez, described as an employee of EN+ looked into licensing storage space for documents & to put it into his manager's name, saying in part:

Some of docs pertained to litigation involving Cyprus-registered Surf Horizons Ltd (associated with Deripaska) and Pericles Emerging Market Partners LP (beneficially owned by Manafort and Gates)
But vast majority of docs don't relate to Manafort or Gates

Then the judgement says:
"We understand the force of these points but they are limited. They presuppose that the only persons of interest to the Americans were Messrs Manafort and Gates."
Implying that there are others of interest to US investigators 🤔

Those are a few highlights, it will be interesting to learn what US investigators are looking at in docs from Deripaska-linked Terra Services raid, and who else besides Manafort & Gates may be of interest
