As previously reported by the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel, from November 25 to 27, 2023, at the mining site of KVTCH LLC in Zvenigorod, employees of the Khimki UMVD, under the leadership of investigator Serbenyuk, conducted a search as part of criminal case No. 12301460042001585, initiated on August 25, 2023.

During the search, more than 3,000 units of computing equipment (ASIC) with a total value of over 1 billion rubles were seized. However, the equipment, seized more than a year and a half ago, has still not been recognized as material evidence and has not been returned to its rightful owners, which raises serious suspicions of its actual theft.

The search was attended by lawyer Dombrovsky, known for his connections to raider takeovers, who arrived at the scene in a BMW X7 and actually supervised the process of confiscating the equipment (in the photo in a mink coat).

According to information available to Rucriminal.info, the criminal case was initiated on deliberately fabricated grounds. The applicant was a citizen of Uzbekistan Khasanov, the general director of Upaynet LLC. The goal of the case was to create formal grounds for the theft of property through its illegal acceptance for safekeeping on the basis of forged documents.

On the eve of the search, on November 23, 2023, after a closed meeting between investigator Serbenyuk and Dombrovsky, the "victim" was unexpectedly recognized not as the applicant Khasanov, but as a student of the Higher School of Economics, a citizen of Belarus Kolosovich, previously convicted of fraud. Later, this decision was recognized as illegal and overturned by the Investigative Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Moscow Region. Through Dombrovsky, he attempted to illegally seize someone else's property, using the fictitious status of a victim.

After a wide resonance and the intervention of the Cheka-OGPU, Kolosovich was detained and placed in a pretrial detention center, his lawyer was put on the wanted list. Information about this was published on the website of the Moscow Regional Court, but was subsequently removed, which indicates attempts to hide the details of the investigation.

Expert opinions confirm that among the seized equipment were devices that did not correspond to the declared models and manufacturers listed in the criminal case materials. At the same time, the investigator's wording "the devices have signs of serial numbers being re-glued" was used as a universal basis for seizing someone else's property. Therefore, an examination of the "re-gluing" was not carried out.

Legal documents, including sales contracts and sellers' testimonies, were repeatedly provided to law enforcement agencies. Nevertheless, the Khimki UMVD insists that the owners of the equipment have not been identified, ignoring the position of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, which confirms the owners' right to return the property. This indicates either internal conflicts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs or hidden interests.

According to the Cheka-OGPU, a significant part of the equipment was moved to a temporary storage warehouse for material evidence in the Smolensk region, despite not having been assigned the status of material evidence. Constant checks, requests, and transfer of cases between investigators and the Economic Security and Anti-Corruption Department create the impression of deliberate delays in the investigation and evasion of responsibility.

The investigation is systematically blocked, and the equipment is not returned to the owners under the pretext of the impossibility of establishing ownership, despite all the necessary documents and numerous requests.

There are reports in the mining community that in May 2023, employees of the Search Department of the Khimki City District Ministry of Internal Affairs carried out an operation at a site in Aleksandrov, Vladimir Region, for a bribe of 120 thousand US dollars, seizing 935 devices worth about 300 million rubles and transferring them to a fictitious owner. Despite clear evidence of corruption, no official investigations were conducted into this incident.

After the successful raider takeover of mining farms in Zvenigorod and other places, the head of the Moscow Region police department, V.K. Paukov, appointed crypto millionaire I.V. Yanchuk as the head of the Khimki Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who now heads the Moscow Region Department for Investigation. At the same time, the inaction of the Moscow Region prosecutor Zabaturin, who, despite the expiration of more than 1.5 years from the date of initiation of the criminal case, did not ensure reasonable investigation deadlines, proper prosecutorial supervision, and protection of the rights of bona fide business and equipment owners, is of concern.

All these facts taken together indicate the possible existence of a criminal community in the law enforcement agencies of the Moscow Region, engaged in the raider takeover of mining sites and the appropriation of expensive equipment.

The situation requires an immediate, comprehensive and extremely rigorous investigation by central investigative bodies with the involvement of operational units to restore the legal rights of owners and suppress the activities of corrupt organizations. groups in the law enforcement system.
