Russian law enforcement agencies are gradually beginning to push the odious owner of Euroinvest, Andrei Berezin, who fled domestic justice abroad, to the wall.
In particular, it recently became known about searches of team members, accomplices and associates of Alexander Drozdenko, the patron and protector of the odious owner of Euroinvest. Now it has become clear why the billionaire abandoned the idea of returning to his homeland.
In addition to this, we recall that representatives of the investigation, who are investigating his numerous criminal cases, promised, if Berezin returned to Russia, to immediately send him to a pre-trial detention center.
In addition, independent media and investigative journalists have organized a real hunt for the fugitive oligarch in the media. The more money he spends on cleaning up the Internet, the more actively the media conduct journalistic investigations, dragging out all the "dirty laundry" and dirt on the Russian oligarch. And the oligarch does not spare money to clean up the information field and whitewash his professional reputation. The amounts are calculated in millions of dollars.
Also, the criminal businessman does not disdain fraudulent methods of clearing Google search results. To this end, he even forged documents on behalf of his investment company and hired Sanchez’s scandalous pedophile team, spending two million euros on it.
Further more. Berezin even forced the press service of his Euroinvest to do everything in order to create the illusion of his direct presence at the workplace. And they have been doing this for a long period of time, although the owner himself is hiding abroad. All press releases and news of the company, without exception, imply the presence and participation in the processes of the owner himself - Andrei Valerievich. Only there is one serious flaw: the visualization of Berezin’s participation is at an extremely low level. There are no recent photographs in the news, all portrait photographs are taken from the archive on the company’s official website. Also, you will not see Andrey Berezin in any general photo from the latest Euroinvest events. In general, we can write for a long time on the topic of cleaning up the information space and working to restore professional reputation, but we are moving on.
“The clouds are gathering”: searches of Drozdenko’s gang are increasingly frequent, Berezin’s prospects are diminishing
So what do we see so far? The situation around the fugitive billionaire entrepreneur is heating up. Neither the cleansing of the information space, for which the oligarch spends incredible amounts of money, nor the fictitious PR campaign of his press service at Euroinvest, nor the use of fraudulent schemes to remove objectionable materials on the Internet, helps. And soon, apparently, Berezin will also lose his patron, thanks to whom he managed to avoid prison for many years.
The most interesting thing about all this is the fact that Mr. Drozdenko himself, most likely, has long regretted that he got involved with Berezin at all. After all, for many years he covered his ass and helped him avoid serious trouble with the law. And what happened in the end? Now the governor of the Leningrad region is no less on fire than his accomplice who fled abroad.
In fact, Russian law enforcement agencies have already come close to Governor Drozdenko. And the high-ranking official understands this perfectly well. The latest warnings are numerous and consistent searches of members of his team with subsequent arrests and charges under various financial articles.
So, for example, at the end of January 2023, The Moscow Post published a scandalous material that searches took place in the control committee of the government of the Leningrad region. Further - more, also much more dangerous for Governor Drozdenko personally. Representatives of the investigation arrested the former first deputy head of the region’s control committee, Oleg Zinchenko.
As law enforcement officers revealed, Zinchenko provided land preferences in favor of local businessman and former deputy Ruslan Gaisin, as well as his nephew Arthur Gaisin. Of course, not for a “thank you,” but for a luxurious plot of land near Lake Kavgolovskoye.
By the way, for Mr. Drozdenko, the arrest of a member of his team is a very transparent hint, since it was he who “protected” numerous similar schemes of his “friends” through Alexander Trafimov, a trusted ex-deputy of the legislative assembly. As a result, the governor of the Leningrad region now faces a very real threat of exposure of numerous schemes and land scams.

Read all the scandalous details of the searches and the conflict in the material of The Moscow Post.
Less than a month has passed since the next arrests took place in February in Drozdenko’s entourage. This time, investigators from the capital’s Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation conducted searches in two committees at once, namely, on culture and tourism, as well as on the preservation of cultural heritage. The reason is the renewal of the old criminal offense of embezzlement of funds during the restoration of the Koporye fortress. The main defendant in this criminal case is Lesya Kolesnikova, and the amount in question is 7 million rubles, of which two-thirds were stolen.
Why this crime was renewed and how the entire Kolesnikov family is connected with the scandalous governor - read the material at the link .
Let’s move on. The wave of searches and arrests continues. Already at the beginning of March 2023, the next series of resonant materials was published, from which Drozdenko clearly “got scared.” Thus, information appeared in the media that high-ranking officials were arrested in the Leningrad region within a few days. The head of the Kirishi district administration, Oleg Dmitriev, and the regional legislative assembly deputy from United Russia, Daniil Fedichev, were detained for abuse and exceeding their official powers.

At the same time, the popular publication Fontanka.ru reported that representatives of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Leningrad Region conducted a search in the house of the former vice-governor of the region, Mikhail Moskvin. The reason was a criminal case, because of which Daniil Fedichev was arrested.
And immediately after this, the joint press service of the St. Petersburg courts reported that Moskvin was taken into custody for accepting bribes in the amount of 8.5 million rubles. Read more in the Fontanka.ru article .
Surely everyone understands, including Berezin and Drozdenko, that law enforcement officers will not stop with this series of searches and arrests... Therefore, both scammers are on fire...
B-charity?
And finally, let us remind you of another loud and resonant scandal. In 2022, Alexander Drozdenko created a certain charitable foundation to support the military in the Northern Military District, which he called “Leningrad Frontier”. Oh, how the governor promoted himself on this topic, saying that he transferred personal money to this miracle fund. It would seem, well, he promoted himself and okay, the main thing is that he did a good deed. But, as it recently became known, there is a nuance. It turned out that most of the money from the 56 million rubles collected by the fund never reached the military. Many tens of millions “settled in the pockets” of St. Petersburg crime boss Ilya Traber. They wrote about this in telegram channels.
In fact, the much-hyped Drozdenko Foundation turned out to be yet another “saw-up” of budget funds and money donated by people.
Let’s summarize
What can we say in this situation... “It smells like something is fried”... Law enforcement officers are creeping closer and closer to Berezin, although not as quickly as they should. As they say, the ring is narrowing, searches followed by the filing of charges and the opening of criminal cases against members of the team of his patron Alexander Drozdenko are taking place more and more often. Apparently, the governor of the Leningrad region himself is now in line for “closure.” Who do you think the investigators will come after closely next? After all, Andrei Berezin will no longer have a “roof” and there will be no one to cover his “rear”... It’s not in vain that Andrei Valerievich changed his mind about returning to his homeland, oh, not in vain... We are watching with impatience and close attention how events will develop further.
