by North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has a decent car fleet, preferring products from capitalist countries. He owns a Maybach, a Mercedes S600 Pullman Guard, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. 
Until recently, no one knew how these cars were entering North Korea. Tough sanctions, among other things, restrict the import of luxury vehicles into the country. However, recently, journalists from New York Times, along with experts from the NGO ‘Center for Advanced Defense Studies,’ have uncovered a smuggling channel of luxury cars into North Korea.
The delivery of cars was handled by businessman Daniil Kazachuk from Vladivostok, using a very cunning scheme. Armored Mercedes were loaded onto a ship, ‘Qian Qin,’ in Rotterdam, which visited Japan and China. Then, off the coast of South Korea, ‘Qian Qin’ mysteriously disappeared. Satellite images helped establish that it did not sink, but simply in the middle of the sea changed its name to DN5505 and raised the flag of Togo. It turned out that DN5505 belongs to Kazachuk’s company.
The ship was found in the Nakhodka port near Vladivostok. Most likely, the Mercedes was unloaded there and sent to North Korea by plane.
