"Working with Ilia Shumanov means always digging deeper. His background in anti-corruption, law, and OSINT lets him uncover flight records, social media, and corporate links—and, more importantly, weave them into a clear picture of people and structures. He connects the dots and gets to the heart of the matter."

Banned Supercars: How Russia’s Luxury Car Market Operates Under Sanctions

We conducted a comprehensive investigation using advanced OSINT analytics, influence mapping, transport data analysis, and financial link tracing. Our goal was to demonstrate how premium vehicles bypassed sanctions restrictions — and who ultimately stood behind these schemes. This case is essential for anyone who wants to understand how sanctions evasion works in reality, how to identify similar risks in their own projects, and how such schemes can be uncovered.
