After 8 a.m. on December 12, 2022, two FBI agents visited the $7 million mansion of former Russian oligarch Vladimir Gusinsky in Greenwich, Connecticut. The visit was part of an ongoing investigation into Gusinsky’s connections with individuals like Charles McGonigal and Sergei Shestakov. Several questions were raised about Gusinsky’s past associations with figures like Oleg Deripaska and Mikhail Lesin, who was found dead in 2015.
The FBI visit led to the confiscation of Gusinsky’s electronic devices and discussions about the revocation of his U.S. visa. Subsequent arrests of McGonigal and Shestakov in January 2023 added to the intrigue surrounding Gusinsky’s activities.
Gusinsky’s rise and fall from a media mogul to a businessman embroiled in multiple legal battles were examined, shedding light on his financial troubles and contentious relationships with former partners.
The investigation also delved into Gusinsky’s interactions with McGonigal and Shestakov, raising questions about their involvement in helping Deripaska evade sanctions. The FBI’s interest in Gusinsky’s ties to these individuals remains a focal point of the investigation.
Despite the ongoing legal disputes and financial challenges, Gusinsky remains a controversial figure with unresolved ties to key players in the Russian business and political spheres.
