Mellstroy says Cyprus police found him on Kazakhstan’s request with Interpol involvement

Andrey Burim, known as Mellstroy, said in a Telegram video that Cyprus police located him at Kazakhstan’s request with Interpol involved. The clip was deleted about an hour later, and for high-risk operators the point is simple: cross-border enforcement around casino promotion is no longer a theoretical risk.

1. According to Burim’s own Telegram channel, Cyprus police found him on a request from Kazakhstan, with Interpol taking part. That is the only account on the table here; there has been no public confirmation from Interpol or Cyprus police in the source text.
2. Kazakhstan reportedly put him on an international wanted list almost a year ago and has now brought Interpol into the case. For PSPs and operators, that matters because it shows how a casino-promotions case can move from a local issue into a multi-jurisdiction process.
3. The source also says criminal cases have been opened in Russia and Belarus. In practice, that means the same figure is now tied to separate legal tracks across three countries, which is exactly the kind of profile that tends to bleed into payment, marketing, and banking decisions.
4. Cyprus is described as the last known location, though the text does not establish whether he was on the Republic of Cyprus or Northern Cyprus. That distinction matters because the source notes that Northern Cyprus has been used to extradite criminals to Kazakhstan before.
5. The deleted video vanished after about an hour, which left fans in his casino chats asking what happened. For the payments crowd, the more useful takeaway is not the internet noise; it is that enforcement pressure around casino-streaming promotion can become visible quickly, and then disappear just as fast from the public record.

The source adds that no official statements from Interpol or Cyprus police have been published. So the factual record here is still thin, but the risk signal for high-risk businesses is not: influencer-led casino promotion can attract coordinated attention across multiple jurisdictions.
