As it became known to the VChK-OGPU telegram channel and Rucriminal.info, the ICR completed the investigation of the criminal case against the deputy head of the department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Olga Pokidysheva, ex-head of the department Olga Kolotilova, a member of the executive committee of the Russian Olympic Committee, president of the Synchronized Swimming, Water Polo and Jumping Federations water of Aleksey Vlasenko and a number of businessmen. They are already getting acquainted with the materials of the case. In total, they are accused of embezzling budget money in the supply of drugs.
The criminal case was initiated by the TFR back in October 2020. The FSB of the Russian Federation conducts operational support on it. According to the investigation, the Zubkov family, which controlled a number of pharmaceutical companies, through intermediaries managed to agree that the Ministry of Industry and Trade would conclude several government contracts with the structures controlled by the brothers for the purchase of medicines. During the execution of government contracts, more than 500 million rubles were stolen. In reality, no medicines were supplied for such an amount. In November 2020, there was Vladimir Zubkov, his wife, V.V. Novakovsky, A.A. Vashurov.
At first, Zubkov denied his guilt, but then he began to cooperate with the investigation. He said that government contracts were obtained as a result of corrupt actions of senior officials of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. We managed to obtain the state control orders with the help of intermediaries who had connections in the department. The main mediator was Alexey Vlasenko, who had a lot of acquaintances in the Ministry of Industry and Trade. In March, Vlasenko was arrested. And in May, it was the turn of the executors from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, those who organized government contracts for the Zubkovs' structures. Pokidysheva and Kolotilova went into custody.
In the summer of 2021, Zubkov, who made a deal with the investigation, died in a pre-trial detention center. His wife was not allowed to attend the funeral.
The first that the arrests of the deputy head of the department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Olga Pokidysheva, the ex-head of the department Olga Kolotilova and the president of the Russian Federation of the Water Floor Alexei Vlasenko, a close friend of Minister Denis Manturov, are connected and are episodes of one high-profile case leading to the minister, - said the Cheka-OGPU ...
The most interesting figure in this group is undoubtedly Vlasenko. “Chief fixer of the Ministry of Industry and Trade; chief pimp under the government; a close friend and "decided" under Manturov and Mazepin, "- this is how Rucriminal.info sources characterize him. Actually, they took Vlasenko because the paths from him led directly to Denis Manturov's office. “The employees of the SEB FSB RF have a full invoice, including all the correspondence, how much went to the very top for the decision on drugs. How much to the rest, ”the source said. Vlasenko himself refused to cooperate and give evidence against Mayeturov's friend. According to sources, he has guarantees from high-ranking friends that he will not stay in prison for too long.
Then, with Zubkov, who was also aware of who was paid and how much, they began to actively work in the pre-trial detention center. He concluded a pre-trial agreement, but for the time being he was silent about the recipients of the money. And when he was "ripe", he suddenly died in a pre-trial detention center.
It is worth noting that Zubkov's wife, who is in custody, is an Israeli citizen, which gives the investigation reason to put forward a version of her possible leaving the country if she were free.
The woman's lawyers insist that she was not involved in the crime and was the nominal owner of the company (involved with schemes for the supply of drugs for the funds of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which was registered with her at the insistence of her husband. She had no intention of committing a crime, she only signed documents, which her husband gave her, while she trusted the latter and did not doubt the legality of his actions.
Zubkov's partner Vladimir Novakovsky has fully admitted guilt, gives confessions, a pre-trial cooperation agreement has been concluded with him. Despite this, he continues to remain in custody. The ICR explains this by the fact that Novakovsky actively involved other persons in criminal activities, taking measures to conceal facts and evidence, and, being at large, he can hide from the investigation and the court, put pressure on the participants in criminal proceedings, get in touch with unidentified accomplices , destroy evidence, hide property obtained as a result of a crime, otherwise interfere with the proceedings.
