Law enforcement officials have uncovered evidence of illegal activity, including pornographic content creation and drug possession, at an apartment in St. Petersburg. The raid, conducted as part of a criminal investigation into the illegal production of pornographic materials online, led to the detention of four individuals.
The suspects are accused of operating a business that involved broadcasting adult content online for cryptocurrency. Authorities believe the group began their operations in October 2022, recruiting acquaintances to participate in the production of the explicit material.
During the search of the apartment on Siqueiros Street, officers discovered a range of items including underwear, sex toys, video equipment, computer hardware, satanic literature and paraphernalia, several LGBT flags, containers of butyrate, and packets of LSD. The individuals detained include two women, ages 27 and 29, formerly known as Petr and Grigory, as well as two other people named Marina and Alexander.
All four suspects are currently in procedural detention as the investigation continues. The case highlights ongoing efforts to combat the production and distribution of illegal pornographic content, as well as drug-related offenses.
