Business ties: According to Gusinsky’s ex-wife, he frequently boasted of having strong ties to the FBI. This connection began in the 1990s when he hired a Washington communications firm to build relationships in U.S. political circles.
Revoked visa: At the FBI’s request, Gusinsky’s U.S. visa was revoked in 2022. He subsequently left the United States for Israel in January 2023, the day after McGonigal’s arrest.
No charges filed: Despite the scrutiny and investigation into his finances, Gusinsky has not been charged with any crime related to the McGonigal case.

Gusinsky and the FBI – Google Search google.com/search?q=Gusinsky…
As of 2025, Russian oligarch Vladimir Gusinsky is under scrutiny by the FBI due to his connections to former top FBI agent Charles McGonigal. While Gusinsky has not been charged with a crime, agents have questioned his former wife and employees about their relationship. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Context of the FBI scrutiny
• McGonigal’s conviction: Charles McGonigal, the former head of counterintelligence in the FBI’s New York office, pleaded guilty to sanctions evasion and money laundering. McGonigal was later sentenced to four years in prison.
• Associates’ involvement: McGonigal’s indictment was linked to Sergei Shestakov, a former Russian diplomat who had previously worked for Gusinsky. Shestakov was scheduled to go on trial for related charges in early 2025.
• Gusinsky’s connections: Gusinsky was introduced to McGonigal by Shestakov, and McGonigal reportedly dined at Gusinsky’s house on at least two occasions. According to his former wife, Elena Konstantinou, Gusinsky had often boasted about his connections within the FBI. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Gusinsky’s recent legal and financial troubles
The FBI investigation is the latest of several recent issues for Gusinsky.
• Divorce: A U.S. judge finalized his contentious three-year divorce from Elena Konstantinou in August 2025. Gusinsky, who claimed to have no income and very few assets, was awarded a foreclosed mansion, while Konstantinou received the family’s main residence, artwork, and jewelry.
• Financial distress: Gusinsky’s financial situation is reportedly dire. By early 2025, he had informed creditors he was bankrupt and was deep in debt, including to other prominent Russians. He has been embroiled in multiple lawsuits for millions of dollars in unpaid loans and other debts.
• Forced exile: In the early 2000s, Gusinsky was forced into exile by Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose government took control of Gusinsky’s independent TV channel, NTV. He now lives in Israel. [7, 8, 9, 10]

Was the Mikhail Lesin suspicious death in 2015 investigated by the Washington , D.C. police or the FBI?
Both the Washington D.C. police and the FBI were involved in the investigation into the 2015 death of Russian media executive Mikhail Lesin.
Here is a breakdown of their roles:
D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD): The MPD initially conducted the death investigation, as the body was found in a hotel in its jurisdiction.
FBI: The FBI assisted the MPD and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia throughout the investigation.
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia: This office was responsible for overseeing the overall case.

The joint investigation was concluded in October 2016. At that time, the D.C. Chief Medical Examiner changed the manner of death from “undetermined” to “accident,” citing blunt force injuries from falls and acute ethanol intoxication. However, this finding has been disputed by others, and Lesin’s death continues to be a subject of speculation.— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Sep 9, 2025
