Andrei Sharashidze, who organized the transportation of explosives from Odessa, previously ran a business in Russia. He headed Palatin LLC (registered in 2014), which, in particular, was engaged in retail trade, production of juices, tea, and coffee.

Five years later, the tax authorities closed the company due to inaccurate data in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. On his pages on social networks, he writes that he has been in business since 2010 and “knows exactly how to manage strong teams.”
