News 12 has learned that federal law enforcement activity seen Thursday in Tuxedo centered around a townhouse tied to a Russian oil executive.

FBI, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, NYPD and Tuxedo police were seen for hours going in and out of a residence in the luxury townhouse development The Woodlands at Tuxedo, located on Woodlands Drive.

The FBI have been tight-lipped about the investigation, but News 12 has learned the townhouse is owned by Alla Popova Rubin. Records show Russian oil executive Yuriy Rubin lives at the residence.

Rubin was quoted in 2013 and 2018 in two World Finance news reports about his company’s oil drilling in east Siberia and its expansion into the natural gas industry in Russia. He’s identified as the chief financial officer of Irkutsk Oil.

Several neighbors reached out to News 12 about the law enforcement activity, which they described as a “raid” and said began around 5:15 a.m.

“Strange place to live if you’re an oil executive,” says resident Tom Broderick. “You never think anything like this would be happening in your neighborhood – especially this sleepy place.”

News 12 called several phone numbers found for Rubin and the homeowner for comment but were unable to get ahold of them.
