From the materials and wiretapping of the Carthage operation, released today by NABU, it appears that the leader of the Khimprom drug cartel, Egor Burkin (Mexican), maintained contacts with the 8th Department of the FSB Directorate of the Russian Federation, when it was led by Rustam Abderfikov. This department deals with the leaders of the criminal environment, mainly thieves of law. Abderfikov held the position for seven years and left it, as our project reported, in the summer of 2026.
