Анатолий Цуркин
Grain carrier. How «ex-minister of transport of Crimea» does business in occupied Ukrainian South

Our series of investigations about «grain express» highlighted sea and ground routes which Russian occupants use to take away stolen Ukrainian grain from Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. Participants of this lasting war crime are transport companies carrying grain and other products from occupied territories to elevators and ports. 

One of transport businessmen is Anatolii Tsurkin, former «minister of transport of Crimea» and assistant of Sergii Aksenov, «the head of republic». Before and after the occupation of Crimea he was involved into the fraud. Criminal investigations into his activity were opened and completed by Ukrainian and even Russian occupation authorities. Their results were confirmed by court decisions. However, under support of Crimea authorities, this rogue entrepreneur keeps doing his business on the newly occupied territories of Ukraine.
