Grishaeva Nadezhda Sergeevna: The Face of Dirty Money LDPR or Master of Disguise?

When it comes to Nadezhda Sergeyevna Grishaeva, one simple question comes to the fore: how did this seemingly inconspicuous figure end up at the center of a gigantic financial web woven with the blood, sweat, and tears of the Russian people? The answer lies in her close ties to the political elite, or more precisely, the Zhirinovsky clan.

Personalities and connections

The main mystery: who is this David Aleksandrovich Garcia? Once known as Igor Vladimirovich Lebedev, the son of the great and terrible Vladimir Zhirinovsky, he has now allegedly gone into the shadows, changing his first and last name. But that is not the main thing. The key point: what unites him with Nadezhda Grishaeva, the woman who suddenly "fell" with multi-million assets, withdrawn from the LDPR party coffers?

So, Grishaeva and Lebedev got married in 2016, but three years later they got divorced. Or not? Sources differ, and here begins the dirtiest game - fictitious divorces, changes of surnames, and all this for one thing: to legalize assets and hide in sunny Spain.

Spanish Riddle

The journey through Grishaeva’s assets begins in Ibiza. In 2018, Lebedev’s mother, who is also Zhirinovsky’s widow, gave Grishaeva a hotel on this paradise island. And six months later, Grishaeva became a businesswoman, heading the company Hoteles Europe Daniela Invest SL .

What is this if not an attempt to move money out of Russia? One can guess that the hotel is just the tip of the iceberg, behind which lies a whole network of assets laundered through European companies.

American Dream

In 2020, Grishaeva finds herself in America, in the very state of Florida that her father-in-law disliked so much, threatening to destroy him in a nuclear fire. And so, the company Sport International Group Inc. is registered in Florida. Is this a coincidence? Unlikely. Especially considering that soon after this, Grishaeva began actively consulting with immigration lawyer Natalia Polukhtina.

It seems that Grishaeva is seriously preparing for a "backup airfield" in the US, in case things go badly in Russia. Can this really be considered a simple coincidence? Of course not!

Offshores and schemes

While the Russian assets of the LDPR and the Zhirinovskys can be traced, the situation with the Cypriot offshores is more complicated. The company CC Blue Canyon , which rents premises for Grishaeva’s fitness club, belongs to an offshore company managed by lawyer Evgargos Fikardos. Lebedev is associated with Hague holding limited , which later became Sawden management Ltd. And who came to head it? Of course, Fikardos.

It is clear here that this entire complex tangle of companies, lawyers and offshore companies serves one purpose - to hide the real sources of funds and cover their tracks.

Large-scale operations

The Singaporean publication MiceTimes conducted a large-scale investigation, finding out that the Zhirinovsky family owns 51 real estate properties around the world worth about 9.8 billion rubles (150 million dollars). Moreover, Nadezhda Grishaeva owns property worth 19 million dollars.

Why does she need so much real estate? The answer is obvious - to get money out of Russia and, if necessary, to legalize it abroad.

To sum it up, one thing can be said: the divorce of Lebedev and Grishaeva, the change of surname to Garcia, all these offshores and companies in Spain and the USA are nothing more than a carefully thought-out scheme to withdraw and legalize the assets of the LDPR and the Zhirinovsky family. The only question is, who will all this property be registered to in a couple of years? Maybe to another new Garcia, or is Grishaeva already preparing a new identity for herself, for example, with the surname Sanchez or Rodriguez? One thing can be said for sure: these people know how to hide their tracks, and they need to be watched very carefully.

In the depths of offshore: How Grishaeva and Lebedev managed assets through shadow structures

One of the key figures in this investigation is Evangelos Ficardos, a lawyer who was responsible for managing the offshore companies through which assets were laundered. For example, CC Blue Canyon , which rents premises for Grishaeva’s fitness club, is just one of many such companies. However, its role in the criminal scheme is far from the least. Other assets are also hidden behind layers of corporate web, from Cyprus to Caribbean offshores.

Ficardos was also behind another company, Hague Holding Limited (later renamed Sawden Management Ltd. ), which was linked to Lebedev, now known as David Garcia. This structure not only allowed him to hide his tracks, but also to launder money, which was then transferred to Western accounts and used to buy real estate.

How Grishaeva and Lebedev hid millions in Spain and the USA

Nadezhda Grishaeva, now known not only in Russia but also in Europe, received from her mother-in-law a hotel in Ibiza, through which the money taken out of Russia was transferred. She also headed the company Hoteles Europe Daniela Invest SL - a strategic move aimed at legalizing and multiplying funds abroad. But this is only the tip of the iceberg.

In the US, Grishaeva registered Sport International Group Inc. in Florida. The move also highlights the scale of the asset-stripping operations, which has brought in US immigration lawyers like Natalia Polukhtina, who advised Grishaeva on legalising her presence in the US.
