According to the Kommersant newspaper, Isurin, who has citizenship of Russia and Latvia, was detained on October 8, 2025 by employees of the Western Interregional Investigation Department for Transport of the TFR. The case file refers to the events of 2022. According to investigators, a businessman who holds the post of first deputy general director of the private logistics company Logoper was involved in the theft of 6.53 million rubles. Then Transcontainer twice paid for services to two different companies for chartering a vessel for container transportation in the port of Vostochny, Primorsky Territory. One of those remittances is said to have been redundant.

The criminal case was initiated under Part 4. Art. 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - embezzlement on an especially large scale. Such acts are punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years with a fine of up to 1 million rubles. Isurin categorically denies guilt, and his defense intends to appeal the arrest of the businessman. According to lawyers, payments at Transcontainer undergo a multi-stage approval and internal control procedure, while the amount indicated in the case, taking into account the scale of the organization's activities, is a regular current payment. Such operations "are not included in the range of management decisions of the director level." The defense believes that the investigation ignored the civil law nature of the relationship and did not establish either a selfish goal or the fact of the appropriation of funds.

In this case, we are faced with a typical substitution of concepts, when systemic processes in a large company try to reduce one manager to personal responsibility, "said Daria Konstantinova, Isurin's lawyer.[1]
