FBI conducts raid on two Russian businessmen’s condo at Trump Towers

The FBI has reportedly raided a Florida condo owned by two Russian businessmen at the Trump Towers on Sunny Beach Isles.

The target of the search, according to the Miami Herald, was a unit owned by the shell company MIC-USA LLC, which is controlled by Russian businessmen Oleg Sergeyevich Patsulya and Agunda Konstantinova Makeeva.

It is unclear what exactly the FBI and local police may have been searching for in the raid and whether law enforcement officials seized any property or took anyone into custody.

In a statement to the Herald, a spokesperson for the FBI’s Miami field office only said it was ‘conducting court-ordered law enforcement activity in the vicinity of that location’ but provided no other information.

Patsulya’s wife, Roza Pereira — who is also listed on the corporate paperwork for MIC-USA — also told the outlet that she was aware of the raid but was prohibited from talking about it.

‘The lawyer [for my husband] said not to talk to anyone,’ she said. ‘I have no idea what it’s about.’

Property records sow MIC-USA bought their 41st-floor, three-bedroom condo in 2013 for $1.65million.

Seven years later, they were sued by BAC Florida Bank — which financed their purchase — for allegedly defaulting on their $975,000 mortgage payment.

But that dispute has since ben resolved, and the condo is still owned by the Russian businessmen in the beach town, which has been dubbed ‘Little Moscow,’ due to its influx of Russian immigrants.

Some have previously expressed fears of backlash against their community after the Russian military invaded Ukraine last year and the US government started pursuing sanctions against oligarchs who hide their wealth in real estate.
