This move<\/a><\/strong>, coordinated with the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates, aims to disrupt the network\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

The sanctioned individuals and groups are linked to the TGR Group, allegedly run by Ukrainian national George Rossi. The group is said to have provided services like cash-to-crypto exchanges, prepaid card solutions, and support for Russian nationals looking to purchase property in the UK. OFAC has targeted five individuals and four entities connected to these illicit activities.<\/p>\n

One key component of the network\u2019s operations was Garantex OU, a Russian crypto exchange already sanctioned by OFAC. Garantex was accused of processing USDT<\/a> <\/strong>transactions, including those related to Hydra, a notorious online criminal marketplace. Additionally, TGR Group\u2019s operations extended to Wyoming, where Pullman Global Solutions LLC, partly owned by Latvian national Andrejs Bradens, was reportedly involved. Bradens is connected to other entities affiliated with TGR, such as TGR Corporate Concierge LTD in the UK.<\/p>\n
