Trustee — "Koshelek.ru"
This section is based on government documents. The first was published by the Information and Security Service of Moldova in December 2024, the second was adopted by the Polish Ministry of Interior and Administration 21 May 2026. Together they form a chain that leads from Vadim Grusha's company to the Russian Federation.
Link one, Chișinău. In the SIS public report on interference in the presidential election and referendum 2024 it is stated that the service obtained data: Russian special services, through individuals close to Ilan Shor's group, use the TRUSTEE app (Trustee Plus, UAB Trustee Global, Lithuania) as a financing mechanism.
Shor is under sanctions from the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU, Ukraine, and Switzerland; his party in Moldova has been declared unconstitutional.
☑️ 13 March 2026 the head of the Internal Security Agency ABW sent request R-Z-1467/2026. The MSWiA decision quotes his conclusion: Trustee Global "is business-related to the Russian Federation," and an analysis of open-source materials indicates that the company "was used by Russian special services." The CEO and co-founder are named in the document as Vadim Grusha, with Ksenia Zhytomirska as technical director. Sanctions include asset freezes, a ban on providing funds, and exclusion from public procurement. The decision is executed immediately; a classified document was added to ABW's request.
According to the decision, under a contract dated 1 August 2023 Trustee Global worked with Quicko sp. z o.o., which issued co-branded payment cards for it. ABW separately determined that Quicko, within this cooperation, processed payments in territories where it did not have authorization. Quicko informed the supervisory authority of the contract termination only on 6 November 2025, effective 28 February 2026.
On the same day the Russian LLC "Kviko" was sanctioned, OGRN 1137746383851, in which Polish Quicko owns 90%. The ministry checked this share in the Russian EGRUL registry. Nearby in the registry is LLC "Koshelek.ru", OGRN 1107847012547, which controls the crypto exchange koshelek ru: the Russian-language version of quickowallet com showed Quicko's data. ABW called this "a deliberate construction of a financial bridge between Western countries and the Russian Federation." Among other Quicko partners the decision names companies of the Mercuryo brand, linked to Russia by capital and people.
Recoveris analysts, cited by Bankier.pl, traced the exchange integration in Trustee Wallet with the Kassa.cc service. According to their report, this service allows instant conversion of cryptocurrency to rubles with transfers to Sberbank, PSB and Bank Avangard. Two exchanges integrated with Trustee, Recoveris reports, received funds from the sanctioned Russian Garantex, one of them a year after OFAC sanctions. Analysts also claim that Quicko BIN numbers issued cards to Russian wallet users that appeared as Polish in Mastercard and Visa systems.
Company position. In a statement dated 21 May signed by Grusha it is said that the apps are not available in Russia, the company does not operate in the Russian market or with sanctioned banks, and Trustee Wallet never integrated with Quicko. Nevertheless, the decision was made and is in force.
Bottom line. The Moldovan intelligence service linked the app to Russian financing of Shor's structures. The Polish counterintelligence agency called the operator business-related to the Russian Federation. The operator's card partner owns 90 percent of the Moscow LLC. And the exchanger in the wallet, according to analysts, routed rubles to sanctioned banks. This is the content of government decisions and professional expertise.
