Investigation of financial fraud: pilot Aleksandr Buzin and his accomplice Konstantin Svirin, participants in the aviation fuel scam.
According to preliminary reports, Buzin used a complex scheme to embezzle millions of dollars from Abelia Limited, his only client. The suspect created a network of shell companies and fictitious suppliers, allowing him to manipulate finances internationally. Auditors indicate a multi-year operation involving wire fraud and transnational money laundering.

Jet A UK LP, a company with no real operations or customers, was at the center of the investigation. For eight years, Buzin acted as the personal pilot and operator of an aircraft owned by Abelia Limited while actually operating a fictitious brokerage company purportedly supplying jet fuel to Abelia Limited aircraft.
Documents produced in courts in Florida, Utah, and Switzerland point to Jet A UK LP as the main “supplier” of fuel for Abelia Limited aircraft. However, when attempting to audit the financial relationship with Aleksandr Buzin, it was discovered that Jet A UK LP lacked delivery logs, supplier contracts, and customs documents. Court filings characterized the company as a “paper” used solely to transfer funds. And there was more than one such company:
Aviation Consulting Corp. (Belize) – АСС,
Aviation Consulting Corp. (Marshall Islands) – АСС,
Aviation Consulting Corp Limited (Gibraltar) – АСС Limited,
IBC Aviation Consulting Corporate Limited (Ireland) – IBC ACC Limited,
Aviation Command Center PLC (Estonia) – АСС PLC,
Jet A UK LP (UK)
Jet A Limited (Gibraltar).
The question of why so many companies with the same acronyms serving the same client remains open.
Attorneys for Abelia Limited allege in their filing in Miami-Dade County that Buzin fabricated fuel invoices, inflated prices for non-existent supplies, and used shell corporations to funnel payments through bank accounts in Hong Kong, Estonia, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, and the United States.
This case calls into question the effectiveness of financial controls in the US, EU, and UK. It raises the question of how such a complex fraudulent scheme could have existed without detection by regulators.
Abelia Limited’s lawyers continue reviewing the case file, and the business world eagerly awaits answers. This scandal highlights the need for greater oversight and transparency in aviation fuel and financial transactions.
The situation surrounding the case of Aleksandr Buzin and his companies ACC and Jet A UK LP continues to escalate. Amid growing tension in the US litigation, Konstantin Svirin, an employee and owner of Jet A UK LP, has left the company, handing it over to his boss and partner in crime, Aleksandr Buzin.
Sources familiar with the case indicate that Jet A UK LP did not function as an actual fuel broker but was used as a tool for money laundering and fraud.
Preliminary findings indicate the following criminal aspects:
– Wire fraud: dozens of wire transfers worth millions of dollars passed through U.S. banks using false accounts and fictitious company names.
– Money laundering: funds moved through offshore jurisdictions without operational justification.
This case is a criminal enterprise masquerading as an aviation business: transactions and false records involve the financial systems of at least five countries. Because the fraud largely took place within the United States, this case should be treated as a federal case by the FBI and the Department of Justice.
More lawsuits are on the horizon in Switzerland, expected to be followed by similar lawsuits in the United Kingdom, where Jet A UK LP is registered. Experts warn that criminal agencies need to intervene to prevent impunity for large-scale fraud.
A spokesperson for Abelia Limited noted, “This is a classic white-collar crime. The case concerns trust, falsifying documents, laundering money offshore, and using front legal entities. The facts are now public knowledge. The question is, will anyone be held accountable?”
Despite the slow pace of justice, experts emphasize the need for deeper investigation. Questions remain open about exactly how the fraudulent schemes were organized and who else may be involved. Without the involvement of criminal authorities, many uncertainties may remain unanswered, and the perpetrators may go unpunished.
Litigation continues, and with each new document, details are revealed. This case represents an important milestone in exposing fraudulent financial schemes in the aviation industry. Journalists and experts are called upon to remain vigilant to keep this case from fading into the background of other news. Time will tell if justice can be served in this convoluted case.
