Oleksandr Galkin, a Russian with a Ukrainian passport, who steals grain from TOT, still avoids sanctions

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian invaders have stolen Ukrainian grain with a total value of more than 1 billion dollars. Citizens of Ukraine are also involved in the crime, in particular those who live in the territory of the European Union and still avoid Western sanctions.

As reported, the mass media exposed one of the largest networks of companies through which grain is exported and sold with subsequent legalization of income in Great Britain and EU countries. The network unites at least seven companies with a combined authorized capital of more than 45 million dollars and half a billion rubles. The network belongs to Oleksandr Galkin, a businessman of Russian origin who at one time received Ukrainian citizenship and now lives in Jurmala (Latvia).

A company registered in the name of Galkin’s brother Mykola, who also has a passport of a Ukrainian citizen, is involved in the grain theft scheme.

This company is engaged in the wholesale trade of grain products, having representative offices in the Russian Federation and Ukraine. The parcels export grain from the occupied part of the Donetsk region through the Russian Federation or through the new TOT of the South to the port of Sevastopol in Crimea.

From there, the stolen cargo goes to Turkey, Syria, Libya, Lebanon and other countries. According to the documents, the grain was allegedly grown in the Russian Kuban. During transportation, it is mixed with real Russian grain, loading takes place at sea on bulk carriers, which immediately turn off the automatic identification system to hide the route of movement.

It is claimed that Galkin’s partner in the criminal scheme is Russian businessman Boris Usherovich, who has now settled in Cyprus. His company “GK 1520” was one of the largest suppliers of Russian Railways (Russian Railways). His connections helped Galkin enter the grain market of the occupied territories and export the stolen goods without hindrance.

The group launders the money received in Cyprus and transfers it to Great Britain and the EU with helpundefined offshore and numerous gasket companies.

Earlier it was also reported that Galkin’s companies, in violation of sanctions, supply dual purpose goods to the Russian Federation under the scheme of parallel import – through Kazakhstan. Despite their criminal activities, neither Galkin nor Usherovych are currently under sanctions from Ukraine, the EU or the US.
