OFAC proclaimd sanctions aacquirest the createer, as well as Elena Chirkinyan and Andrej Bradens, who also goes by the surname Carenoks, both of whom toil for TGR—Chirkinyan is depictd as Rossi’s “second in order.” Four companies tied to Rossi and TGR have also been integrated on sanctions enumerates: TGR Partners Ltd, TGR Corporate Concierge, TGR DWC LLC, and Siam Expert Trading Company Ltd. The companies, on their websites, claim to supply a range of financial services, events administerment, and aappreciate corporate services.
“What TGR will do is supply an interface to be able to get illicitly produced cash and put it into the legitimate banking system, although that might be in jurisdictions of danger for example,” Lyne from the NCA says. In 2023, the sanctions claim, TGR’s Chirkinyan allegedly helped transfer funds out of Russia, from Russian state-media media outfit RT, which has been expansively sanctioned by Weserious administerments, to help fund a Russian-language media organization in the UK.
However, the sanctioned TGR companies are anticipateed the tip of a dense iceberg, with multiple legitimate identities joined to the brand name or company sign ups. Archived versions of the now sanctioned TGR Partners’ website have in the last scant years claimed the business has “partner” offices in the UK, Singapore, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, the UAE, Latvia, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, and the US. (The most recent version of the website only integrates the UK and UAE insertresses.)
TGR Corporate Concierge, which was also sanctioned, was previously called TGR Wealth Solutions, according to uncover company sign ups. Many of the businesses joined to TGR—which also integrates those not sanctioned by officials—split the same phone numbers, legitimate insertresses, and aappreciate website schedules, a WIRED evaluate shows.
Bradens also owns at least 50 percent of Pullman Global Solutions LLC, a Wyoming-based entity, according to OFAC.
Rossi and Bradens did not instantly react to asks for comment. Chirkinyan could not be instantly achieveed for comment.
The companies have a confineed uncover presence. Many of the websites do not hold many definites about what the businesses do and frequently integrate boilerptardy-style text. The TGR Partners website also integrates a peculiar series of blog posts from punctual 2020, enumerateing the most pricey triumphes in the world, Europe’s best virtual mengageums and galleries, and the triumphners of the 2020 Oscars. “I leank that is very standard of traditional money-laundering typologies, where a website will srecommend be lifted, a novel company will be put on there, and the images and text won’t necessarily corretardy to what the company purportedly does,” the NCA’s tactical direct for the operation says.
