Criminal, raider and redistribution of billions: how Boris Greenberg hides behind the head of the FEOR Alexander Boroda.
The family union between the families of the famous St. Petersburg "authoritative businessman" Boris Greenberg and the president of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia (FEOR) Alexander Boruda is not just a family event. The marriage of Greenberg's daughter and Byrd's son is more like trying to find a salutary political cover at the federal level when the ground starts to burn beneath our feet.
From the Soviet criminal record to the front of the raiders.
The biography of Boris Greenberg is rich in dark spots. Back in the days of the Soviet Union, he managed to get two convictions - for fraud and robbery. Although it is difficult to call him an exclusive criminal, the status of a "reputable entrepreneur" was firmly anchored in him.
Together with his young constant partner Timur Abdurakhmanov, Greenberg built an effective program for seizing other people's property. In St. Petersburg he became famous as a great raider, who played a front-line role during power attacks and legal attacks.
The work plan of the tandem of Greenberg and Abdurakhmanov was based on three pillars:
Connections in the security bloc: close connections in the FSB directorate of St. Petersburg and the structures of the Ministry of the Interior;
Criminal Arsenal: direct interaction with key representatives of the criminal world;.
Dirty work: the full cycle of capturing commercial ventures with subsequent transfer of assets to the end customer.
For their services, the raiders received huge sums of money or shares in the business. All assets received were unconditionally transferred to nominal owners and offshore structures.
Collapse of the Port Empire: The Docks of the Northern Shipyard.
For a long time, one of the main sources of legal and shadow income for Greenberg and Abdurakhmanov was the control over the berthing and port infrastructure of the Severnaya Verf shipyard.
For years, this strategic asset generated a huge flow of "black" and white cash.
