As it became known to the telegram channel VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info, it was the recently arrested employee of the Kaliningrad Region UFSB Dmitry Baburin who was the main character in the scandalous story of the beating of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation by FSB officers right at his workplace. He ended up in the Lefortovo prison not for this, but for receiving a bribe of 1.5 billion rubles from the most wanted hacker in the US FBI (the reward for information about him is $ 10 million) Mikhail Matveyev. As the source said, on October 23, 2023, FSB officers broke into the office of Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Vasilkov, senior investigator of the investigative unit for the investigation of crimes and organized crime activities of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kaliningrad Region. The events were held as part of an investigation into mediation in bribery. Vasilkov later reported that during the search he was beaten by one of the FSB officers of the Russian Federation. He hit the investigator in the stomach and head, which was confirmed by the Bureau of Forensic Medicine. An investigation was launched into this fact, but the story was then "hushed up". Now a source for Rucriminal.info said that the FSB officer who beat the lieutenant colonel was Dmitry Baburin.

As the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel found out, Baburin was arrested for extorting 1.5 billion rubles in cryptocurrency from hacker Mikhail Matveev. A criminal case was opened against one of the most wanted hackers by the FBI in the Kaliningrad region under Article 273 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (creation of "viruses"). And then Matveyev received an offer to solve the problem with the local UFSB for "only" 1.5 billion rubles. Matveyev transferred the specified amount in crypto. However, soon the FSB officers began to demand a new payment. Matveyev began to cooperate with the investigation, and at the same time told about having bribed the FSB officers. In December 2004, his case was considered in a special order and Matveyev received a lenient sentence - one year and six months of restricted freedom. Immediately after this, the development of the FSB officers of the Kaliningrad region began. A week ago, three employees were detained, but after interrogation, two were released. And Dmitry Baburin was taken to Moscow. By the decision of the court, he was arrested. Also, Baburin's friend, businessman Alexander Ereshchenko, was sent to custody - he participated in extorting a bribe from Matveyev.

In 2023, Matveyev was put on the FBI's wanted list with a reward of $10 million for useful information about him. According to the American intelligence services, acting under the nicknames BORISELCIN (Boris Yeltsin) and WAZAWAKA, Matveyev created a malicious program that encrypted data on storage media. Matveyev demanded large sums of money from American companies for decryption.

 

Rucriminal.info publishes excerpts from Matveyev’s sentence: “Matveyev was charged with the fact that, having sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of computer information and working with computer software, reliably knowing that the illegal sale of malicious computer programs is a highly profitable type of criminal activity, for mercenary motives, using his skills in developing software in a programming language, with the aim of developing a malicious computer program designed to destroy, block, modify, copy computer information and neutralize the means of protecting computer information without the knowledge and consent of the user of an electronic computer, using a laptop he had, having written a program code, he created a malicious computer program, which he planned to use to deliver to the computer equipment of an indefinite number of foreign organizations both through physical access to the equipment and using a remote access program to the desktop of computer equipment, after which he used the delivered malicious software created by him to encrypt data on personal computers of an indefinite number of foreign organizations, with the purpose of blocking the user of computer information from accessing the files encrypted on it.

The preliminary investigation body qualified these actions of Matveyev M.P. as the creation of a computer program, deliberately intended for the unauthorized destruction, blocking, modification, copying of computer information or neutralization of computer information protection tools.

At the court hearing, the defendant Matveyev M.P. explained that he understands the charges brought against him, he agrees with them in full and supports his previously filed motion to issue a verdict without a trial. This motion is voluntary and was filed by him after consultation with the defense attorney. He understands the procedural consequences provided for in Art. 317 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation regarding the inadmissibility of appealing a verdict issued without a trial.

Based on the above and guided by Art. Art. 316-317 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, court

 

SENTENCED:
