A twisted story in the style of the action movie "Sliding" about the lawlessness of drug police from the Saratov region became known to Rucriminal.info and the Cheka-OGPU.
Part 1
In the provincial town of Balakovo, a couple of young people, Maxim and Elizabeth, will be sentenced from day to day. The guy is engaged in music and worked as a driving instructor before his arrest. The girl is a primary school teacher.
Objectively, they are not sinless - shortly before the fall of Hydra (once the largest platform on the Darknet, where illegal goods are traded), the guys, according to them, were related to drug trafficking. From July to December of last year, they agreed on the Web with an anonymous person to take bookmarks with drugs, pack the substances and leave them for the pawnbrokers. The fact that they tied up with a dirty business in time is confirmed by screenshots from their account and correspondence with the employer.
January 27, the day before the arrest, Maxim and the girl spent actively. We were in the hospital, bought groceries, visited a dog shelter, and in the evening we went to a bar. We drove home at night, and when Maxim got out of the taxi, an unknown person approached him. The man threw the duty “give me a smoke” and splashed from a gas bolon in his face. Further, according to the guy, they beat him, climbed into his pockets, and took him to the OKON department. In the office where he was taken, there were five employees headed by Deputy Chief Dmitry Klimov. He named Maxim the store with which he collaborated, and his colleagues (Ulitin, Bastanov), in the classics, to the cries of a cohabitant coming from a neighboring office, put forward an ultimatum: frankly or specific methods of interrogation to the lady, and to him a “cock hut” in a pre-trial detention center. When the detainee tried to say that he was no longer involved in drugs, he was told that he would have to answer for old cases. In the morning, witnesses from the district were invited, previously convicted on drug charges, now drunken alcoholics. It is not difficult to guess that the employees took out of their pockets 7 bundles in black electrical tape, stuffed with synthetics. The young lady was found with 5 bundles of hashish. With such gifts, according to investigators, the couple rode around the city all day, and returned home in the morning. By the way, a medical examination of the detainees was not even carried out, the employees probably knew that the tests would be clean.
As the interlocutors of Rucriminal.info told, the examination of the dwelling (namely, the examination, not the search) was carried out by the same persons. In the apartment at the entrance, 2 coils of electrical tape and 5 bundles with "salt" were found in a drawer. Maxim insists that they could not control the movement of the police around the house, and the keys to the apartment were in the hands of OKONshchikov from the moment of the search. The whole procedure lasted 45 minutes, during which time the “three-ruble note” was examined.
Until the evening of the next day, Maxim was taken out several times to talk. Conversations with operas boiled down to the fact that one of the couple “needs to boot up” so that he thinks about the girl, relatives. And in the end, he confessed. The investigator asked the court for house arrest for both detainees - this is due to logistics, the pre-trial detention center is located in another city and the delivery of persons under investigation would complicate the work of employees.
In his native walls, Maxim contacted an CSS officer. And from that moment on, the plot, trivial by today's standards, turned into a real detective story.
Part 2
If not for this and the next part of their own investigation, then Rucriminal.info and the Cheka-OGPU would not have paid attention to Maxim's case.
Police Captain Gennady Klemeshin, an employee of the Internal Security Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Saratov Region, listened to the accused and said that this was not the first signal from the Balakovo drug control department. According to him, he enlisted the support of his superiors to carry out the ORM, and his agent from OKON confirmed to him that drugs were planted on young people.
At the same time, he offered to participate in operational activities, saying that the operatives are corrupt and will definitely appear in Maxim's life with a proposal. In this case, the "special officer" left the ward a portable voice recorder in the form of a flash drive. The employee assured that if he managed to catch the drug police on a bribe, he would be able to spin them up for a toss. In the meantime, Maxim has only words and any statement will look like an attempt to excuse himself. From that moment on, Klemeshin controlled all the actions and thought through the dialogues.
Two weeks later, an intermediary really came to Maxim - a man with a reputation in the city "exactly between cops and bandits" Arkady. The guest paid several visits, told the details of the case, they say, he is aware of the trouble and wants to help. According to him, operatives Bastanov and Metelnikov are his friends. Then the employees themselves came to visit. In the end, one night in the spring, Arkady called Maxim and said that he would talk to his father. A meeting was scheduled, to which the parent took the very “flash drive”. Father Maxim was waiting in the car for Arkady and Bastanov. They rolled it around the city for a long time and "charged" 2.5 million rubles for reducing the term by 2 years.
Employee SB recommended to bring down the price, and when the amount fell to 1.8 million, he promised ... to transfer the money on the appointed date. But on X-day, neither side got in touch with Maxim's father.
On April 9, Klemeshin got in touch and said that thanks to local guys from the OSB and the FSB, he managed to arrange a split in the drug control department. According to him, the operative Ulitin had a grudge against his colleagues, since he had to do "dirty work", and from the corruption obshchak they did not share it with him. The "special officer" took the flash drive from the ward and went with it to a meeting with the faltering opera. According to him, the interlocutor asked for immunity in exchange for recognition, and handed over colleagues with giblets on record. The audience was held on the same day at 22.00. Ulitin told Klemeshin about the episode with Maxim, naming the author of the idea of the chief Klimov, the performer of the opera Metelnikov, and Pronin executed the operation on paper. Moreover, according to operational data, none other than drug fighters could manage the store on the Darknet.
All correspondence about this, personal conversations with the sbshnik were recorded and saved by Maxim.
It might seem that the matter is in the bag, but after Klemeshin reported on the victory, everything did not go according to plan. Some time later, an CSS officer wrote to Maxim that the key audio recording had been classified. And disappeared. And the policemen from OKON, like ten blacks, left their department one by one. Ulitin wrote a report and transferred to the duty unit of a neighboring village. Employee Pron was caught drunk driving. Closer to summer, Bastanov resigned from the police department. And Metelnikov was demoted to the precinct.
Part 3
In May and June, Maxim submitted his first applications to the CSS and IC.
During this time, the defendant changed his testimony. The girl tried to commit suicide and was put in a psychiatric hospital. In addition to the first case, she is charged with two more episodes - photos with coordinates were found on her phone, where “bookmarks” were found. She categorically denies any relation to these cases. And, if you look at it, then the additional accusations look like a consolidation of the implementation, and, moreover, hastily assembled.
The case materials did not contain the addresses and telephone numbers of witnesses. One of them, Dmitry Nuriev, earns his living by running corporate parties and holidays. The second - Alexander Stenshin works as an GIMS inspector and moonlights as a DJ at events. The bookmarks that were hung on the girl were dug up on Saturday, February 5th. It is logical that fellow witnesses could work on this day of the week. And the assumption was confirmed. The day before, Nureyev's wife celebrated her birthday and the company rented a house in the village, far from the coordinates with drugs. One of the guests confirmed that on February 5, both witnesses were with him at the dacha and did not go anywhere. Judging by the photographs sent to them, an operative by the name of Pron, already known to us, walked with them in the company.
Now the process is coming to an end. Witnesses, according to the words, left, are in other regions and the court decided not to interrogate them. True, under the pretext of an order for the leading representative of Maxim, he managed to meet with him in his hometown.
Other attesting witnesses, who were allegedly present when the drugs were seized from the guy, gave unexpected testimony in court. One of them frankly said that he was forced to participate in investigative actions. The man at that time was on a drinking binge, and he was told that either he would be "packed" for a day of administrative arrest, or he would be witnesses. In the department, he did not even look at the documents and blindly signed them. Also, in court, they confirmed that one of them was familiar with the operative Bastanov, since the latter, while still an employee of the PPSP, had detained him earlier.
After that, Maxim was summoned to the Investigative Committee, where he told his story and handed over all the materials. They assured that they were already in touch with Klemeshin, and they were exchanging information, however, so far no one was giving a move to the matter.
