🪓 United States🇺🇸: Russian national arrested on suspicion of money laundering

According to the FBI, Pavel Kulizhnikov allegedly played a key intermediary role in laundering drug cartel proceeds and evading sanctions against Russia.

💡 According to the indictment, Kulizhnikov, who lived in Miami, conducted financial transactions on behalf of criminal organizations, including the Sinaloa and Gulf cartels. He was a member of the Just World Pro Crypto Team, also known as Just Hollywood Stars. The group consisted of around 10 people who communicated via Telegram and coordinated regional courier teams around the world. The group and its affiliates allegedly laundered up to USD 50 million per day, charging fees of between 2% and 8% on each transaction.

💡 Kulizhnikov allegedly arranged for cash handlers and couriers to move large sums of money through banks and cryptocurrency channels. He also created Telegram group chats to coordinate money-laundering operations on behalf of clients. The group even had its own procedure for resolving disputes and allegations of theft.

💡 Authorities spent several hundred thousand dollars infiltrating the group using undercover agents. Kulizhnikov is now expected to stand trial on charges of participating in 11 money-laundering operations conducted under the supervision of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
