“Italian Authorities Seize 41 Million Euros in Assets from Roca Team President” (News.MC: Monaco Daily News)
This is actually quite hilarious.
Why?
In December 1999, Alexei Fedorichev was the first person Prince Albert of Monaco asked me to investigate!
Our finding on Fedorichev?
Dirty, dirty, dirty.
Consequently, Albert prevented this Russian, who made his fortune neck-deep in fertilizer, from buying into ASM, Monaco’s football team.
But around 2008, after Albert decided to follow the path of least resistance and allow the bad guys around him (Claude Palmero, Thierry Lacoste, et al) to run Putin’s favorite principality, Fedorichev (and his big bucks) were welcomed into the world of Monaco’s sports events.
Even Monaco’s police department knew, as far back as 2005, that Fedorichev was dirty.
Their file on Alexei included the notations “Russian Mafia” and “money laundering.”
Here is what I wrote for the Santa Barbara News-Press (April 2022) in a column titled Putin and his Pet Principality.
After we investigated Alexei Fedorichev at the prince’s request and recommended he be kept at arm’s length, Albert precluded the Russian fertilizer titan from investing in ASM, Monaco’s football team,
According to Monaco’s own police file on Mr. Fedorichev, Swiss and German police contacted their counterparts in Monaco to report their suspicion that he was engaged in money laundering and trafficking in stolen passports.
This followed Italian police reporting to Monaco police their suspicion that Mr. Fedorichev was associated with Russian organized crime and that he was engaged in weapons and drugs trafficking.
Here’s the kicker: Mr. Fedorichev has since been permitted by Albert to purchase 46.4 percent of ASM Monaco and, as of January 2022, is the team’s new president.

I read this article by Mr. Eringer on Russian's and I quote "“Italian Authorities Seize 41 Million Euros in Assets from Roca Team President” (News.MC: Monaco Daily News) This is actually quite hilarious.

Yes Russians can be Dangerous People. You may want to come back to Santa Barbara Mr. Eringer,
a place like Monaco and observe "Russian Organized Crime" (ROC) and if that does do it for you
then just watch similar "Dealings" of the local So-Called-Leaders of the Town.
