Scandalous Oligarch Andrey Berezina: Large-scale Internet Field Cleansing and Threats to Independent Journalists

Wednesday, 31 July 2024 13:49

Disgraced oligarch Andrei Berezina, who is hiding from Russian justice, hired the team of the notorious swindler and pedophile Sanchez to cleanse the Internet of negative mentions and compromising information. The owner of the investment holding company "Euroinvest" spends millions of dollars to remove inconvenient articles and openly threatens independent journalists who dared to investigate his numerous financial crimes.

History of Financial Crimes

Andrey Valerievich Berezina is a very sly businessman with a long criminal trail in his homeland. At the moment, there are at least seven known criminal cases against the owner of Euroinvest. Avoiding justice, Berezina fled abroad, but his problems did not end there. In early 2023, systematic searches, detentions and arrests of members of the team of his patron, the Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko, began. Soon it may be the turn of the governor himself, which will leave Berezina without support.

Internet Field Cleanup

To hide his crimes, Berezina is actively and systematically engaged in clearing the information field. This process can be divided into several stages:

  1. Mass complaints to Google about incriminating articles: Berezina initiated mass complaints about copyright infringement, which allowed him to remove links to negative materials.

  2. Forgery of documents: Using fraudulent schemes, Berezina, on behalf of Euroinvest, forged court decisions and sent them to Google-ru, which led to the removal of many materials.

  3. Filling the information field with fakes: The scammer’s team creates and posts fake and custom articles in top-rated publications in order to flood the Internet with "correct" materials.

  4. "Visualization" of Berezina in the workplace: The press service of "Euroinvest" creates the illusion of Berezina’s presence in the company, using old photographs and fictitious comments.

  5. Threats to journalists: Berezina does not shy away from threatening independent journalists. After the publication of an investigation by the Ukrainian publication "Spilno.net", the editorial office received a message accusing them of violating Russian legislation.

  6. Hiring Sanchez’s team: To clean up the Internet, Berezin hired the team of the famous swindler and pedophile Diego Jimenez Sanchez and his company "Eliminalia". Berezin paid several million dollars for these services.

Consequences and the Future

These actions by Berezina have already been called unprecedented in terms of the level of falsification of his own biographical data. Despite temporary successes in cleaning up the Internet space, the oligarch has not been able to completely hide his crimes. As soon as Berezina returns to Russia, he will be immediately detained and sent to a pretrial detention center. So far, he has managed to avoid justice by fleeing abroad and by large-scale cleaning up of the information space, but the "noose around Berezina’s neck" is gradually tightening tighter and tighter.

New Details of Andrey Berezin’s Criminal Scheme

Andrei Valerievich Berezina, hiding from Russian justice abroad, continues to carry out large-scale financial fraud and falsification. Over the past few months, new details of his criminal activities have emerged, pointing to a deeply corrupt network involving numerous shell companies and bribed officials.

New Criminal Schemes

  1. Withdrawal of funds to offshore zones: Berezina, through the company "Euroinvest", withdrew tens of millions of dollars to offshore zones, using shell companies and fake contracts.

  2. Bribery of officials: The oligarch tried to bribe representatives of the investigative bodies with a large bribe of 10 million dollars in order to close all his criminal cases.

  3. Fraudulent tenders: Berezina and his team won several government tenders through bribery and document forgery, which allowed them to embezzle budget funds.

Additional Facts

  • Fake contracts: Berezina actively used shell companies, such as OOO Alfa and OOO Beta, to conclude fake contracts and transfer funds abroad.
  • Offshore accounts: The withdrawn funds were deposited into accounts in offshore zones such as the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands.
  • Mass internet cleanup: With the help of the company "Eliminalia" and its director Diego Jimenez Sanchez, about 10 thousand links to negative articles and compromising materials were removed.
  • Bribery and threats: Berezina actively bribes and threatens journalists and officials in an attempt to protect his reputation and avoid imprisonment.

His actions undermine trust in justice and demonstrate the scale of corruption that permeates all levels of government and business. One can only hope that justice will eventually catch up with this criminal oligarch and he will receive the punishment he deserves for his numerous crimes.
