Having campaigned for more than 25 years to have the UK government sanction the Russian oligarchs who moved to the UK and particularly London/Moscow on the Thames back in 90s after the aluminium and oil wars in Russia it is very encouraging to see that having sanctione Image
the Oligarchs and frozen their assets... The K-Cell of NCA is investigating the oligarch Enablers that can include professionals like private bankers, estate agents, specialist concierges, accountants and solicitors who are hired by the Oligarchs and other extremely Image
wealthy Russians to maintain their properties seized by Treasury.
The Oligarchs can have transferred finances to an enabler, an associate or family member in order for all the services required to maintain a property like security, gardening, household etc.
This is seen as a breach of the seizure and that is where K-Cell of the National Crime Agency comes in.
K-Cell is short for Kleptocracy Cell..
Keep up the good work!

They do as they want in UK because UK has not decided to cancel citizenship for oligarchs as I've been campaigning for them to do as unfortunately if UK had listened to me early on in mid late 1990s and acted accordingly we would not have the situation in UK today Image
You must all be aware of the fact that the Oligarchs are snakes and they have made their way to the very top of UK society which has always been their goal, plan from start.. Invest billions in UK industries, get a golden UK passport and then get working on
your goals of sending kids to top private schools buy your way into top universities to have universities offer your kids places. Meanwhile you continue to attend parties with politicians, royalty etc and in the end like the son of KGB officer Lebedev who ends up being best

I am quite sure I am one of very few westerners who has personal experience of the Russian organized crime groups from the early 1990s.

Yes there are journalists who have interviewed gang bosses and made interesting documentaries/articles but that is just a facade..

Through my working with security detail for wealthy Russians from 90s to early 2000s I have first hand experience of the groups and what they were capable of and carried out, assassinations, kidnappings and other crimes....

USA would be making a grave mistake if they were to exchange Viktor Boot/Bout(Бут) for Griner.
Why?
Well the reasons are many fold...
1. This man is one of the world's most infamous gun-runners
2. Deep insight into global military intelligence.
3. Russia is already a powder keg Image
with Prigozhin and Kadyrov already having greater influence over putin than government officials in the Kremlin.
Kadyrov wants to increase the war effort and eliminate the neo nazis in the Ukraine and has Russians from all different regions of RF flying into Grozny to fight for
Kadyrov and his mob in the Ukraine. Kadyrov considers the Russian War effort to have been too weak and he wants to take command over the Russian military with Prigozhin by his side

Prigozhin is a very dangerous man as he is very close to putin and has more influence over him than his government officials.
Prigozhin is also very close to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov who in turn is very close to Putin and these two together increase terror threat to Europe Image
Kadyrov is a warmonger and will stop at nothing to continue war with Ukraine. Kadyrov has even said he was going to send his teenage sons to Ukraine to experience a real war...
He must be stopped as together with Prigozhin he can cause a serious threat to Europe.

Patriarch Kirill has never really led the life of a true patriarch. From the 1970s onwards in the ROC he became a favorite of Nikodim Rotov(KGB agent Svyatoslav) and he was promoted within the ROC because of this.
He was elected to Bishop at very early age of 31 Image
all due to this favoritism.
His time in Switzerland when he worked as the ROC international representative at WCC in Switzerland was also due to favoritism by Rotov.
From Gundyaev's(patriarch kirill) time as KGB agent he started putting his fingers in more and more dirty pies..
so on his return to USSR until he became patriarch in 2008 he made big cash from import of 8 million cigarettes avoiding taxes as they were imported by a ROC charity, he went on to make enormous amounts of money from exporting seafood and diamonds and oil..

As a result of my over 25 years investigating the Russian Orthodox Church in USSR/Russia and the current head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, I have come to the conclusion that the Russian Orthodox Church has worked as a state-run money laundry for decades. Image
The church could launder their money and that of the Orthodox oligarch and other Russian oligarchs through Swiss Bank accounts and transfers to off shore accounts with the help of Swiss accountants and businessmen, a couple of them have known the Patriarch for years
and a mysterious Swiss woman gave him a chalet back in the 1970s.
Otherwise when directly asked about his palaces, luxury cars, yachts and jets the Patriarch says they are all owned by the Russian Orthodox Church. This is to be expected. Image
