For years, fans and conspiracy theorists have debated the exact circumstances of his death. The official narrative from the Professor’s team claimed Moscow died from a gunshot wound sustained during a firefight with police, sacrificing himself to allow Denver and the others to escape through the mint’s underground tunnels.

The mention of Moscow has raised eyebrows. Analysts suggest the Professor is hinting that the location of the leak—a hotel in the Russian capital—is no accident. It is believed that a former member of the gang, possibly Palermo or a Marseille contact, is now selling secrets to Eastern European collectors. Moscow’s body was never recovered from the mint’s rubble. Spanish authorities declared the site a sealed crime scene, then a historical landmark, and finally a tourist attraction. But cadaver dogs brought back to the site in a 2023 documentary reportedly refused to enter the main tunnel.

One thing is certain: In the world of the Money Heist, death is rarely the end. It’s just the beginning of the next escape plan.

Berlin, known for his aristocratic cruelty, allegedly responds: “Then you lead the way, miner. Show us how brave you are when the earth does our job for us.”
