This is how he makes his money – he transports the cargo to his side and then resells the goods to businessmen at an inflated price.
P.S.: The stolen goods are sold directly from the warehouses to entrepreneurs and all the money goes to Senkevich personally. In the end he tries to get as much as he can out of the city.
