As it became known to the telegram channel VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info, Alisher Usmanov has cooled towards his "fixer" Valery Bitayev (known as a person close to the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation Sergei Korolev) and speaks about him to his friends with a grin, calling him an obscene word starting with the letter p.... The oligarch is tired of Bitayev constantly pulling huge sums from him, allegedly for gifts to employees of the FSB of the Russian Federation and the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. Bitayev does not despair and has found himself several other "cash cows". From them, he takes huge sums for flights of the FSB leadership on private jets.

At various times, Bitayev was a fixer for billionaires Sergei Safonichev, Taimuraz Bolloyev, Dmitry Mazurov, etc. He positions himself as a person who is well acquainted with the leadership of the FSB of the Russian Federation and is capable of solving any problems with them for large sums, especially with the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation Sergei Korolev, whom, as Bitayev assures, he knows especially well and allegedly brought him out of "binges" more than once. Bitayev came to Usmanov after the story of the shootout on Rochdelskaya Street and the subsequent bribe to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the release of the "authority" Andrei Kochuykov (Italian), the "right hand" of the "thief in law" Zakhar Kalashov (Shakro). During the investigation, it was established that the sum of 500 thousand dollars for the bribe was allocated by the oligarch and State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Andrei Skoch, a partner of Alisher Usmanov. The latter is also mentioned in the wiretaps on the case as a person involved in the negotiations around this criminal story. Both Skoch and Usmanov, having bought out Italianets, wanted to please Shakro, whom they respected. In addition, Skoch personally knew Kochuykov; both started out together as part of the Solntsevskaya organized crime group.

As a result, clouds gathered over Skoch and he even left the Russian Federation for a while. However, after the intervention of fixer Bitaev, the FSB's interest in Skoch and Usmanov suddenly disappeared. Usmanov, impressed by Bitaev's capabilities, made him his personal fixer and even gave him a stake in the company Citatedl. Immediately after this, Citatedl bought the startup Bastion for several hundred million rubles, owned by 23-year-old student Boris Korolev, the son of Sergei Korolev.

However, such stories are extremely rare, and Bitaev, who leads the lifestyle of a billionaire, needs money constantly. You can't make the necessary money by organizing criminal cases on Usmanov's orders (against journalists, miners, etc.). And, as VChK-OGPU found out, Bitayev started using a scheme in Usmanov's case that he had previously tried on other billionaires. He started to pull money from Usmanov for gifts to high-ranking security officials and civil servants. We are talking about gifts allegedly worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars. The scheme worked successfully until Usmanov found out that most of these funds did not remain with Bitayev himself. Moreover, several cases "surfaced" when the "expensive" gifts turned out to be fakes.

As a result, according to a source of Rucriminal.info, Usmanov cooled towards Bitayev. The oligarch did not drive him away completely, but now treats him with mockery and does not give him much money.

But Bitayev does not despair and is looking for new ways to replenish his income. In particular, over the last couple of years, he has been actively "cultivating" smaller businessmen, especially an entrepreneur in the energy sector from Dagestan. The "milking" scheme is simple. Exactly two months after the start of the war, in April 2022, Bitayev created LETONA JET LLC, which helps rent private jets. And Bitayev tells his clients that only his jets are used by the entire leadership of the FSB of the Russian Federation (including Director Alexander Bortnikov and First Deputy Director Sergei Korolev), as well as other security officials and officials. And he asks businessmen, including an entrepreneur from Dagestan, to pay for the jets, promising loyalty from the special services in return. As a source of the VChK-OGPU previously reported, one of the largest Russian fixers, Valery Bitayev, who positions himself as a person close to the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation Sergei Korolev, officials of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, etc., confidentially informed his selected clients that the Kremlin and the FSB of the Russian Federation have begun to form a list of people who will be present at a “closed” meeting with Trump during his visit to Moscow. Bitayev tells clients that there are very few places, but he is able to facilitate their presence on the coveted list for $2 million. There are those who want to be on it. Everyone is interested in how Bitayev will get out of this, considering that he never returns the money.
