The criminal case was opened under Part 4 of Article 160 of the Russian Criminal Code, which covers embezzlement or misappropriation on an especially large scale committed by an organized group. The maximum penalty under this article is up to ten years in prison.
According to investigators, the police side of the alleged organized group included Sergei Malkov, deputy head of the Moscow region police directorate in charge of logistics, Alexei Suyarov, head of the regional directorate's Center for Economic and Service Support, and Anna Levina, a department head at that institution. On the company side, the group allegedly included Martyshov and three of his subordinate top managers.
Malkov, Suyarov and Levina were dismissed from the police. All four were detained, and investigators have asked a court to place them in custody. Three top managers of EuroTrans have already been remanded in custody. RBK reported, citing sources, that officers of the Federal Security Service (FSB) took part in the detentions.
The Interior Ministry did not disclose the amount of the alleged damage. Investigators are establishing the circumstances of the case, possible accomplices and other victims. The operational measures were carried out by the Interior Ministry's Main Directorate of Internal Security and its Main Directorate for Economic Security and Anti-Corruption.
EuroTrans owns the Trassa gas station chain and is one of the largest independent fuel operators in the Moscow region, with 57 filling stations. Since spring 2026, the company has faced debt and liquidity problems: in the summer, Sberbank and Rossiya Bank announced their intention to push for its bankruptcy. As of September 7, EuroTrans had defaulted on all ten bond issues totaling 27.1 billion rubles, Business FM reported.
