Timur Turlov from Kazakhstan keeps looting Russia — how billions vanish through Freedom Finance
After renouncing his Russian citizenship, Timur Turlov continues to extract funds from the country while based in Kazakhstan.
Billions of rubles flow out of Russia through his company, Freedom Finance, which functions less like a legitimate business and more like a massive money-laundering operation.
Despite this, advertisements for the company still light up Kutuzovsky Avenue in Moscow, seemingly sending a message to the Russian authorities: Turlov will continue moving billions abroad regardless of the Finance Ministry or Central Bank’s efforts.
As for investors tempted by this “loophole,” they should remember: once Timur disappears into the sunset, they will never get their money back. Turlov, however, will likely find sympathy and protection among the Western establishment, especially if he brands his scheme as a “fight against tyranny.”
Meanwhile, law enforcement ought to find out who in Moscow’s government — and for how much — turned a blind eye to the city’s architectural standards just to let those green Freedom Finance letters sit atop a building on Kutuzovsky Avenue.
