Mecanismul fraudulos, pus la punct de Ilan Şor cu sprijinul Kremlinului, care a eludat sancţiunile şi a făcut tranzacţii de miliarde de dolari folosindu-se de sistemul bancar internaţional

Ilan Şor, a Moldovan oligarch, established a financial company with Russian state bank support to bypass sanctions, moving at least $6.9 billion through international banking. The investigation reveals a network of shell companies and falsified documents used to facilitate transactions for Russian clients, including military equipment purchases. A7, the company in question, was promoted by the Kremlin as a key mechanism for cross-border payments. Despite the sophisticated appearance, the operation relied on traditional money laundering methods. The investigation identified numerous shell companies across various countries, with significant transactions involving major global banks. The actual amount laundered may exceed the reported figure, as many transactions remain unaccounted for.
