Criminal probes into the financing of terrorist activities in Russia and abroad have been launched against several private companies, the country's Investigative Committee announced on Tuesday. The list of suspects includes the Ukrainian industrial conglomerate Burisma Holdings, linked to a corruption scandal surrounding the Biden family that has been dragging on for years.
The criminal investigation stems from a complaint filed by a group of Russian MPs and public figures in the aftermath of the deadly Crocus City Hall attack outside Moscow last month. The original complaint identified the US and its allies as allegedly organizing a string of attacks on Russian soil.
Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said:
"So far, investigators have established that the funds, flowing through commercial organizations, including the oil and gas conglomerate Burisma Holdings, operating in Ukraine, have been used in recent years to carry out terrorist attacks in Russia. Terrorist activities have also reached beyond the country, aimed at the elimination of prominent political and public figures, as well as causing economic damage.
"Committee's specialists have been working in cooperation with other intelligence services and financial intelligence, checking sources of income and further movement of funds in the amount of several million US dollars, and examining the potential involvement of 'specific individuals' from among government officials, people with civic and commercial organizations of Western countries."
