The U.K. NCA's Operation Destabilise led to the arrest of 84 suspects linked to Russian money laundering networks Smart and TGR, disrupting serious and organized crime globally.
Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Bradley T. Smith emphasized that Russian elites exploited digital assets to evade U.S. and international sanctions through the TGR Group.
The TGR Group and its affiliates, such as the Smart Group, have orchestrated extensive money laundering activities, aiding wealthy Russian nationals while undermining international financial systems.
Ekaterina Zhdanova was sanctioned for her role in laundering over $2.3 million for high-net-worth individuals and cybercriminal crews, highlighting the group's criminal reach.
