Cyprus linked to a terrorist attack in Moscow

Cyprus is being implicated in the investigations into a deadly terrorist attack in Moscow, with reports suggesting that a sum of money in the form of cryptocurrency ended up in the hands of perpetrators through a Russian businessman with ties to the island. The businessman, known as “Yulik London,” is wanted by Russian authorities for possible embezzlement. However, it is emphasized that there may be no direct link between the businessman and terrorist financing. The information was not published in major Russian media outlets and was uncovered during an investigation at a cryptocurrency exchange in Moscow. The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has requested assistance from the US, Germany, France, and Cyprus in connection with the terrorist incidents.
