Én még valamit bogarászok. Az Eural TG üzletet Knopp András hozta össze Szevaval. A cég tulajdonosai papiron három szegény kolozsvári román. Őket egy magyarországi ügyvéd, Karl Ferenc bérelte fel. Knopp Németországban és és az egyik német cigeratta cég alelnöke (Reemtsma). Knopp folyamodott Szevának a magyar állampolgárságért. A német cégről gyanítják, hogy a cigaetta csempészés forrása. Mudura is Németországban kezdett. De ő kindertojásban utazott. The respected publication Jane's Intelligence Digest was the first to blow the whistle on the company's relationship to Mogilevich.
In January, the magazine said that it had "uncovered links" between Eural TG and Mogilevich, pointing out that Eural TG and a company tied to Mogilevich and headquartered in Cyprus called Highrock Properties share the same Budapest address.
"Highrock Properties' address in Israel is reportedly the same as the address of one of Eural TG's four owners, the Israeli Zeev Gordon, who, according to a copy of company filings with the Hungarian Registration Chamber, is registered as living at Tel Aviv, 35 Shaul Hamelech Street, America House."
None of these allegations could be confirmed independently, but a copy of a letter written to Interpol by Russian Interior Ministry Major General A. P. Mordovets links the head of Eural TG, former Hungarian Education Minister Andras Knopp, to Mogilevich. Mordovets told Interpol in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Moscow Times, that Knopp helped Mogilevich create a cigarette smuggling ring in the 1990s.
The letter, which was written in 1998 when Knopp was a vice president at major German cigarette maker Reemtsma, says Knopp supported Mogilevich's appeal for Hungarian citizenship. It says Mogilevich introduced Knopp to members of the Russian government responsible for the cigarette business. It alleges Mogilevich "threatened to kill" an individual who was disrupting their smuggling operation.
German investigators began looking into Reemstma's possible involvement in cigarette smuggling in 2000, but no charges were ever filed.
"Knopp's assistant said he could not be reached for comment, but in an interview with the Kyiv Post earlier this year, Knopp confirmed Eural TG did business with Mogilevich-linked Highrock Properties. He denied, however, any ties with Mogilevich himself."
"I have never seen or heard Mogilevich on the premises of Eural TG, though he is obviously always with us because unsubstantiated news reports make the claims regularly," he told the Ukrainian newspaper. "We are not hiding from anyone. We are absolutely legal, available and ready to answer questions."
