"Double-glazed windows and architectural glass plant", and also the director of the Glass Engineering company in the Russian Federation.

The date of Gritsel's arrest is unknown, but he last posted anything in Telegram chats in July 2024. He was arrested no later than fall 2024. The businessman was sentenced to either a penal colony with a referral or a prison sentence. However, since Roman hasn't appeared on social media or messaging apps since the trial, and has only been on Telegram for a "very long time," it can be assumed he was sentenced to a prison sentence.
