Insider claims Russian mafia involvement in JuicyFields scandal, supported by German prosecutor in Berlin
Igor Kekshin, a Russian insider, has various motives for going public regarding the JuicyFields scandal. When questioned about whether he is driven by money, revenge, justice, or fame, he emphasizes that his decision is grounded in principles. Kekshin also claims he was deceived out of money by those behind the scheme and wishes to bring the story to light.
The credibility of the insider has been supported by extensive research and verification of his statements regarding his knowledge and involvement with JuicyFields. As a result, his assertions about the operation and the individuals behind it are considered reliable.
In discussing the perpetrators, Ina Kinder, the chief prosecutor in Berlin overseeing the German investigation into JuicyFields, indicates that the culprits likely belong to the Russian mafia. European police sources familiar with the investigation corroborate this, linking the suspects to the mafia syndicate in St. Petersburg. This characterization aligns with expert definitions of organized crime groups that may employ violent methods.
Lars Olofsson, a Swedish lawyer representing Kekshin, facilitated their initial contact. It is known that he has been working to unite numerous victims of the fraud, asserting he can assist them in recovering their lost funds through private lawsuits. A collaboration agreement has existed between Olofsson and Kekshin, but this aspect was excluded from the documentary as it does not pertain directly to the fraud.
The documentary also addresses Cannabis International’s involvement, noting that it partnered with JuicyFields when the latter possessed more than half of the company. While Cannabis International played a role in marketing JuicyFields, efforts to obtain interviews with its former owners regarding their knowledge of the situation have gone unanswered. Thus, it remains unclear if they were aware of JuicyFields’ fraudulent activities or how they benefited from the association.
