Russian Bank Endpoints

Deutsche Bank flagged wire transfers from Merukas Trading to endpoints at Sberbank, VTB Bank, Raiffeisenbank, and Alfa Bank. These appeared in the same SAR that documented tuition payments, suggesting the education spending was part of a broader international transfer pattern.

Section 04

The Pattern

The tuition network reveals a 4-component recruitment template repeated across geographies and years.

01

Infrastructure

Shell companies and trusts to obscure the source of funds

02

Tuition

Pay for education — creating dependency and obligation

03

Access

Schools as pipeline — identifying and grooming young people

04

Invitation

From campus to island — the endpoint of the pipeline
