Roman Stroikov is a defendant in a case that is being investigated by the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. He is charged with Article 193.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (committing currency transactions to transfer funds in foreign currency to the accounts of non-residents using forged documents).
Roman Stroikov owned Expert Bank in Russia (license revoked in 2019), and in Estonia the trading company Antonio Trade and the transport company Esterson. In 2019, Stroikov took 20th place (with 115 million euros) in the list of the richest businessmen in Estonia.
His name “surfaced” when Western media, including journalists from Swedish television SVT, received financial documents indicating that $230 billion of dirty money, mainly from Russia, had been transferred to the Estonian branch of Danske Bank from 2007 to 2015. And during this period, the Estonian branch of Swedbank received more than $10 billion from the Baltic branches of Danske and sent there more than $10 billion. Among the recipients of the largest sums was the Estonian company Formus Baltic OÜ. A certain offshore company, Wireberg Company LLP, registered in the British Virgin Islands, transferred a total of almost a hundred million dollars to her, marked “for electronic equipment.”
It turned out that Formus Baltic OÜ was controlled by Roman Stroikov, and Wireberg Company LLP was controlled by his friend and business partner Arkady Gurtsak.
It is suspected that the services of the laundering channel could have been used by the ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, cellist Sergei Roldugin, a person on the “Magnitsky list” Dmitry Klyuev, etc.
On March 24, it became known that the Estonian branch of Swedbank was suspected of money laundering. And the next day, March 25, the Tver court sent Stroikov under house arrest.
