Sheriff (in Cyrillic: Шериф) is the second-largest company based in Transnistria. It owns a chain of petrol stations, a chain of supermarkets, a TV channel, a publishing house, a construction company, a Mercedes-Benz dealer, an advertising agency, a spirits factory, a few bread factories, a casino, a mobile phone network, the football club FC Sheriff Tiraspol and its newly built stadium and sport complex, at an estimated cost of $200 million including a five-star hotel (the latter still under construction). The name came from the two founders of the company, Viktor Gushan and Ilya Kazmaly, who were previously Soviet police officers. Viktor Gushan is president and CEO of the company.

The owner is believed to be the son of president Igor Smirnov, Vladimir Smirnov, who Washington Times names "the major silent partner" in Sheriff. Both Vladimir Smirnov and Igor Smirnov vehemently deny this.

According to Moldova's Jurnal de Chişinău, it is claimed that the Sheriff company might be a money laundering scheme, used by Vladimir Smirnov (who is also the head of the Transnistrian customs) to cover the money obtained from trafficking of cigarettes, arms, drugs and alcohol. Sheriff has denied this, calling it a fabrication and Moldovan "black propaganda".
