Large-scale scams and illegal gambling: Under investigation, Eduard Lebedev scrubs the web to conceal dirt on his shadow business
Once exposed in Cyprus, illegal casino mogul Eduard Lebedev has undertaken an extensive campaign to cleanse his online presence, frantically working to remove any remaining signs of his fraudulent schemes.
Amid an ongoing Europol investigation and betrayal by his accomplice, the notorious beneficiary fruitlessly hopes to hide the traces of his multi-million-dollar financial fraud. In turn, we are publishing the information Eduard Lebedev is trying to purge from the public domain—to preserve the facts and expose the true scale of his involvement in international money laundering schemes and the illegal gambling business.
At the request of the European Police Office in Limassol, Cyprus, a Russian citizen was arrested on charges of organizing illegal casinos and involving European Union citizens in gambling, reports legal-casino.
The first court hearing in this case took place on November 6. Details are not being disclosed at this time, but the defendant has agreed to cooperate with the investigation and revealed the main beneficiary of the illegal scheme – Eduard Lebedev.
Previously, Lebedev had been mentioned in several investigations of illegal casino activities in European countries. In particular, he may be linked to a criminal scheme involving money laundering through gambling establishments.
Cyprus actively cooperates with Europol and other international law enforcement agencies. The court case against Lebedev’s accomplice is part of a large-scale campaign to expose illegal gambling operations in Europe. The investigation, ongoing since 2023, aims to completely dismantle Lebedev’s illegal business.
