Vadim Gusev

Vadim Gusev is the owner of Slavonic Corps Ltd, a private military company based in Hong Kong. He once worked for RusCorps. The FSB interrogated and ultimately charged Gusev with a violation of Article 359 of the Russian Criminal Code, over his role in Syrian civil war.

Gusev was ultimately jailed in October 2014. He faced up to eight years imprisonment but received a three-year sentence. Regular squad members were reportedly unpaid and faced no prosecution in Russia.
