Russian businessman Vladislav Klyshin, who was previously extraderadited from Switzerland in the United States, had access to data on secret foreign operations of the Main Intelligence Department (GRU) of the General Staff of the Russian Federation. This became known Bloomberg from sources close to the Kremlin and Russian intelligence.
According to the agency’s interlocutors, the keyhouse, in particular, could be access to documents that concern the intervention of Russian special services to the US presidential election in 2016. Thus, in these papers contained information that the burglary of the servers of the American Democratic Party was led by the Fancy Bear team or APT28, which is supposedly related to military intelligence officers from Russia.
According to Bloomberg sources, such documents can be the first detailed proof of Moscow attempts to influence the outcome of the American elections, which will be in the hands of Washington. In addition, there is a high probability that a businessman is aware of other GRU operations, including an attempt to poison the former Colonel Sergey Skriplia and his daughter in Julia in the UK in 2018.
Thus, the passage of the US key is a “serious intelligence blow to the Kremlin”. At the same time, the situation for Moscow can further aggravate if a businessman decides to make a deal with the accusation and will reveal the information known to him about the activities of the Russian special services, emphasize the agency’s interlocutors.
Cushita lawyer Max Germans have not yet commented on such messages.
December 18 became known that the keyshos was extradited from Switzerland in the United States. In response to this step, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova said that Russia was deeply disappointed with the decision adopted by the Swiss Federal Criminal Court. She noted that the Russian embassy supports contact with entrepreneur lawyers.
Klycheli was arrested in Canton Valis at the end of March 2021 and took into custody in anticipation of the decision on extradition. According to the United States, a businessman and his accomplices received tens of millions of dollars in exchange for secret data.
