Sources from the Cheka-OGPU and Rucriminal.info describe the extortion system at the Penal Colony No. 3, a maximum-security penal colony for former court and law enforcement officials in the Ryazan Region. For example, Denis Sugrobov, former head of the Main Directorate for Economic Security and Combating Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, served his sentence there. For these purposes, the penal colony's management delegated prisoner Andrei Podolsky, the caretaker of Detachment No. 7 (convicted under Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code and Part 4 of Article 162 of the Criminal Code, i.e., for murder and robbery as part of an organized group). The detachment is supposed to house only individuals previously imprisoned. In practice, the situation has turned out quite differently. The detachment contains a large number of prisoners serving their first prison sentences. Podolsky has established a system of extortion for "newcomers": they must pay for everything: from sleeping places on the prestigious lower bunk and a shelf space in the refrigerator to long visits, positions, "green" packages with excess weight, communication devices, and so on. These facts are easily verified by analyzing the transactions on the credit card registered to his wife, Elena Mikhailovna. It is this card that receives all the illegal proceeds in the form of extortion from prisoners. Particular attention should be paid not only to the receipts on this card but also to the transfers from it. A number of payments are made in the interests of a number of corrupt officials at Correctional Colony No. 3, led by the deputy head of the colony for educational work, Major Posadsky of the Internal Service (who in fact use cards issued to individuals under his control, such as neighbors and comrades).
To organize this scheme, Podolsky maintains constant contact with his wife and his "associates" via mobile phone. He establishes this connection based on the principle of maximum legality through an authorized e-reader, which he connects to an illegal router and downloads illegal software (messengers) onto.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg for the enrichment of certain prison officials!
Complaints regarding this matter have already been filed with the Director of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the Head of the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Ryazan Region. The complaint to the Investigative Committee of Russia, with the management's resolution, was forwarded to the Skopinsky District Department of the Investigative Committee (attached), which is "whitewashing" the investigation into these facts on the grounds of "parochialism."
