Searches were conducted in Spain at the home of pro-Russian blogger Anatoliy Shariy, who is under investigation for failure to pay taxes in the amount of €10,7 million, money laundering, document forgery, and working for the Russian security services. Spanish police seized €800 thousand in cryptocurrency, watches, jewelry, and artworks worth €400 thousand, a Porsche Cayenne, a Glock pistol 19, and gold bars. Spanish police also found Shariy’s accounts in Russia and Lithuania and P2P transfers from Russia and Kazakhstan.
In 2011 Shariy shot a man in the back with a traumatic (non-lethal) pistol, fled to Lithuania where he received political refugee status from the Yanukovych regime, was accused of pedophilia by his own sister, moved to Spain, became a pro-Russian blogger, and took an active role in promoting the crypto pyramid Grimace and the Sundae scam.
In Ukraine Shariy has been sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment for treason. The verdict is classified. At the same time, because of some of Shariy’s content he has repeatedly been suspected of ties to the SBU and the Office of the President, which partly explains the classified status of his sentence. In addition, in 2025 someone lured the former boyfriend of Shariy’s current wife, Olha Bondarenko — political scientist Kyrylo Molchanov — to Poland. There he was detained and extradited to Ukraine.
