Few people know, but at the dawn of the 2000s, the Russian authorities contributed to the development of green energy, into which solid money was poured at that time. The locomotive of solar energy was the Hevel Group of Companies (later the Unigreen Energy Group of Companies), the main owner of which was Viktor Vekselberg (yes, that same owner of Renova). As the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info found out, under sanctions, the directors of these organizations built a simple scheme for withdrawing money from the company. Let's take it in order.   Zagorodniy Evgeny Nikolaevich from 2009-2012, resting in the director's chair at the Hevel company, very closely gets to know the future bigwig of all affairs - economist Shakhrai Igor Stepanovich, who was sent to the solar business from Renova to restore order. The ever-promising Shakhrai will be destined to head all the gray schemes. But as they say, if you think about it, then for three, and even better with the female sex. Just then, Zagorodniy's mistress - Bodnarchuk Elena Aleksandrovna, who gave birth to a child for Evgeny and settled across the street from him, began to show ambitions. Elena is placed under Shakhrai's wing, to manage purchases, a plant under construction in Novocheboksarsk. <img alt="" src="https://rucriminal.info/files/VEKSEL/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B5%20%D0%B2%20%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D1%8E.jpg" style="height:600px; width:450px" /> The scheme looked like this: as part of the competitive procedures for the construction of the plant, equipment pre-determined by Bodnarchuk (mainly Chinese and European production) was purchased, Shakhrai approved all transactions. Consulting contracts were secretly concluded with the companies that produced this equipment at 3-5%, essentially kickbacks. The trio was afraid to transfer funds to Russia, Bodnarchuk had to urgently get a residence permit in Spain. These same people will also arrange for receiving money into shell accounts in European banks. The plant in Novocheboksarsk was built, Zagorodny went into the shadows to the engineering company SSI Engineering and will come in handy later, Shakhrai was promoted to CEO, Bodnarchuk became his deputy. The trio did a great job of improving their financial situation, apartments, cottages in elite areas, villas in Spain, expensive cars.   But already in 2021, Shakhrai's chair began to wobble, and then he came up with the "construction project of the century for 18 billion rubles" - as part of the localization of components, to build two more plants (with a total capacity 6 times greater than the previous one). In order to implement such a large-scale project, Shakhrai had to butter up the nominal Mikhail Sergeyevich Sivoldayev, leave him the director's chair, as to how they eventually agreed, history is silent, but Sivoldayev, who did not believe in the project, suddenly willingly began to lobby for the construction in Renova, even when the budget doubled.   In order not to attract the attention of the internal audit, the most difficult region was chosen - Kaliningrad. Zagorodny's company was chosen as a construction control for construction work, the approval of inflated volumes of materials and work became problem-free. To select "their" equipment suppliers, closed purchases were created (in violation of current regulations), the list of correct suppliers was approved only by Bodnarchuk. Shakhrai, who had previously shown no interest in purchases, made himself the chairman of the tender committee and in every possible way suppressed dissent in choosing the wrong suppliers. Money again flowed like a river into the hands of our trio. But the question arose of how to discreetly accumulate such amounts in the accounts. The money was supposed to come (or came earlier) from suppliers (Linton Crystal, S.C.NewEnergy, BWT, Fesko, AntaiSolar, Fragmit, Longi, TopraySolar, etc.). It became dangerous to make large kickback payments to European bank accounts, and it was necessary to spread the transactions over time and into smaller amounts. To do this, Bodnarchuk organized controlled chaos in purchases, with a huge staff turnover and purchases dragging on for months. Because of this, the company missed the chance to pay the main payments for imported equipment in the summer of 2022, when the dollar exchange rate was 55-60 rubles. And they mainly paid in mid-2023 at an exchange rate of 90 rubles.   There is another person who made it all happen. The chief auditor, Natalya Borisovna Belykh, who was chronically susceptible to illness, was supposed to be retired and an experienced, tenacious auditor was sent to oversee the construction of the plant. But this did not fit into Shakhrai's plans and he agreed to keep her position, and promised her that he would turn a blind eye to her constant absence from work due to illness, in exchange for asking for assistance in matters of plant construction. As a result, Shakhrai received Belykh's vote in addition to Bodnarchuk's vote on the competition committee. A positive vote "on crooked purchases" from the chief auditor removed possible questions from other hesitant members of the competition committee.   Arseniy Dronov   To be continued

"A large number of FCS employees are involved in the channel" https://rucriminal.info/en/material/v-rabote-kanala-zadeystvovano-bolshoe-kolichestvo-sotrudnikov-fts https://rucriminal.info/en/material/v-rabote-kanala-zadeystvovano-bolshoe-kolichestvo-sotrudnikov-fts We publish a "fresh" price list on gray import Thu, 13 Mar 2025 21:03:20 +0000 article

The telegram channel of the VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info learned that since 2002, the FCS and the Ministry of Finance has been conducting an “experiment” to underestimate customs value and inaccurate declaration. The existing large -scale channel of "Gray Import" was created under the pretext of returning to the customs territory of the Russian Federation those volumes of imports that were issued in the countries of Central Asia and were already imported into the Russian Federation, as goods of the EAEU, and therefore huge amounts of customs payments were not received by the Russian budget. <img alt="" src="https://rucriminal.info/files/fts/%D0%9F%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%20%D0%B2%20%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D1%8E.jpg" style="height:254px; width:450px" /> As a result, a new “grid” appears, a jargon designation in the language of smuggling scheme for evasion of customs payments, when, depending on the type of goods, the underestimation of customs value and inaccurate declaration, there is a price list to pay the above scheme, which goes directly into the pockets of the shadow owners of this channel of smuggling. Only according to the most approximate calculations as a result of this “experiment”, no less than trillion rubles have already amounted to the budget of the Russian Federation by the budget of the Russian Federation. The main beneficiary of this scam at the state level is Sarmant-South LLC, which pursues an aggressive policy to force participants in foreign economic activity (both from the "gray" and conscientious ones) to work in this format. As the Cheka-OGPU found out, a large number of employees of customs authorities at various levels are involved in the functioning of this channel, starting from customs posts and ending with the deputy heads of the FCS. As a consequence of this, the new head of the FCS does not receive true reports on the “experiment”. All importers who agreed to work within the framework of this channel automatically fall into full depending on the conditions put forward and constantly changing in terms of changes in the price list for participating in the so-called "grid". As an example, Rucriminal.info quotes the next claim recently received by the participants in this smuggling channel, to increase the “gray” payment, where it is specifically and openly scheduled how much and for what kind of customs payment schemes they should make:   "Good afternoon!       From February 20, 2025, conditions for the commercial part are changing in relation to the design of goods by an operator of the third type (in relation to the goods of the “experiment”), namely: Clothing - 5500 US dollars Clothing brand (up to 50% of the loading volume) or re -sorting (up to 50% of the loading volume) - 7,500 US dollars Shoes - 4,500 US dollars Shoes brand (up to 50% of the loading volume) or re -sort (up to 50% of the loading volume) - 5,500 US dollars Household goods -4,500 US dollars Household goods brand (up to 50% of the loading volume) or re -sorting (up to 50% of the loading volume) - 5,500 US dollars Auto parts - 4,500 US dollars Auto parts brand (up to 50% of the loading volume) or re -sorting (up to 50% of the loading volume) - 5,500 US dollars Monotars (blankets, towels, pillowcases, bedding, furniture, electrical goods, electronics, toys, goods for the New Year, outdoor goods, etc.) - 4,500 US dollars Mono-goods brand (up to 50% of the loading volume) or re-sorting (up to 50% of the loading volume)- (blankets, towels, pillowcases, bedding, furniture, electrical goods, electronics, toys, products for outdoor activities, etc.)- 5,500 US dollars Socks - 4,500 US dollars Socks brand (up to 50% of the loading volume) or re -sort (up to 50% of the loading volume) - 5,500 US dollars Bags and suitcases - 4,500 US dollars Bags and suitcases (up to 50% of the loading volume) or re -sorting (up to 50% of the loading volume) - 5,500 US dollars Fabric - 3000 US dollars The penalty for the revealed inaccurate statement of the product nomenclature (an unheated brand or re -sorting) is 50,000 US dollars.   The calculation of the current commercial part will be carried out on February 19 inclusive (according to issued statements or issued DT). The prison and DT issued from February 20 will be calculated according to the new commercial part. The commercial part in respect of the design of goods by the first type by operator remains not treason. "   Arseny Dronov To be continued

Billionaire Galitsky turned out to be a scammer https://rucriminal.info/en/material/milliarder-galickiy-okazalsya-kidaloy https://rucriminal.info/en/material/milliarder-galickiy-okazalsya-kidaloy He even decided to get plants for his Japanese garden "for free" Tue, 11 Mar 2025 19:42:16 +0000 article

The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info found out how the company that owns the Krasnodar stadium and Galitsky Park, with the support of the courts, is implementing a scheme for illegal VAT refunds. <img alt="" src="https://rucriminal.info/files/sgalitsky/%D0%AF%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9%20%D1%81%20%D0%B0%D0%B4%20%D0%B2%20%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D1%8E.jpg" style="height:252px; width:450px" /> The Krasnodar stadium and Krasnodar Park of billionaire Sergei Galitsky are a place of attraction for residents and guests of the Kuban capital. Thousands of people daily visit the park, shops, cafes and restaurants adjacent to the home arena of one of the leaders of Russian football. The stadium and park belong to Investstroy LLC, the owner of 100% of the shares of which is the former owner of the Magnit retail chain Sergei Galitsky. In 2021-2022, Investstroy LLC acted as a buyer of planting material (large trees and shrubs) for the sixth stage of the park - the Japanese Garden. The project curator was the vice-president of FC Krasnodar, Aslan Shkhachemukov, known for his connections in the judicial community of Kuban. The supply of plants for the Japanese Garden on 430 Euro trucks was carried out by Status LLC, known for its successful work at Olympic venues, the Sochi themed Park and the Formula 1 track in Sochi. As a result of the supply, Investstroy LLC owed Status LLC about 420 thousand euros according to the latest specification of the contract. Investstroy LLC evaded pre-trial settlement. For this reason, Status LLC applied to the Arbitration Court of the Krasnodar Territory in January 2023. Judge Levchenko O.S. was appointed to resolve the dispute. In court, Investstroy LLC admitted that it had paid an advance payment of 80% of the cost of the last specification (the same amount as for the previous specifications), received and planted 71,001 units of planting material of proper quality on the territory of Krasnodar Park, and received shipping documents for it. At the same time, in justification of its evasion of payment of the debt, Investstroy LLC tells the court completely fantastic stories that it did not order the planting material; Status LLC delivered it without permission, without the consent of the buyer; does not admit the fact of signing the last specification; does not agree with the price of the delivered planting material. The fact of planting plants on the territory of the Japanese Garden, the price of which it does not agree with, is explained by the alleged saving of plants from death. Investstroy LLC does not explain why it needs to save the plants, because plants with a closed root system are perfectly stored before being sold in garden centers for months, and sometimes years. In connection with the insinuations of S. Galitsky's subordinates, every visitor to the Japanese Garden in the Krasnodar Park - the largest Japanese garden outside of Japan - should know that the plants in the garden were placed there treacherously, against the will of the owner who was proud of the garden, and were not planted according to the design of Japanese architects, but only with the aim of saving them from destruction. In court, Investstroy LLC filed a counterclaim against Status LLC for the recovery of 399 thousand euros, which it substantiated with an independently made calculation of the cost of the plants. The court, which treats Investstroy LLC with emphasized piety, represented by Judge Levchenko O.S., decided to appoint a forensic examination of the market value of the plants delivered according to the latest specification. The court-appointed expert appraiser from BSK Audit LLC, Olga Kot, apparently also delighted with the beauty of the Krasnodar Park, ignoring the requirements of Federal Law No. 135-FZ "On appraisal activities in the Russian Federation" and the instructions of the Federal appraisal standards, based on falsified and inadmissible evidence, incidentally also provided by Investstroy LLC, simply rewriting the calculation they had made themselves into the examination, without using any public market data in the report, estimates the market value of the plants at 170 million rubles instead of 289 million rubles indicated in the shipping documents, reducing it by more than 40%. The editorial board has a confirmation letter from the customs authority stating that only the cost of the goods from the latest specification, transportation costs to the border of the EAEU, customs duties, import duty, VAT paid upon import of goods into the customs territory amounted to more than 251 million rubles. Consequently, the sales price of 289 million rubles indicated in the shipping documents of Status LLC is adequate, and the price calculated by Kot O.S. is frankly extortionate. The Arbitration Court of Krasnodar Krai, having rejected all petitions, ignoring the review of the expert opinion of Kot O.S., which revealed multiple violations of the law during the examination, provided in the case materials; the appraisal report and notarial examination, confirming the value of the plants declared by Status LLC, based on the conclusions of the expert Kot O.S., makes a decision to recover more than 30 million rubles from Status LLC. The 15th Arbitration Court of Appeal (judge-reporter Mashtakova E.A.) left the decision unchanged without examining it. In connection with the entry into force of the decision of the Arbitration Court of Krasnodar Krai, Status LLC must adjust the invoices for goods from the latest specification, indicating the proceeds from sales instead of 289 million rubles - the proceeds determined by the expert Kot O.S. at 171 million rubles, and submit an amended VAT tax return with the amount to be reimbursed from the Russian Federation budget in the amount of 20 million rubles, calculated as the difference between the VAT accrued according to the declarations (48 million rubles) and the VAT according to the expert's calculations (28 million rubles). Consequently, 30 million rubles were collected from Status LLC in favor of Investstroy LLC, of which 20 million rubles were from the federal budget. Thus, not wanting to pay the bills, Investstroy LLC, led by Aslan Shkhachemukov, came up with and implemented a scheme according to which, with the help of the false conclusion of the expert Kot O.S., with the support of the courts, it acted as a beneficiary of an illegal reimbursement from the budget of value added tax in an especially large amount. Law enforcement agencies are conducting an investigation into the facts.   A cassation court hearing is scheduled for April 1, 2025, so the intrigue remains as to whether Krasnodar Themis will continue to indulge Aslan Shkhachemukov's commercial interests or will sort things out and make a decision based on the law.   Yuri Prokov To be continued

"Godfather" of the security mafia https://rucriminal.info/en/material/krestnyy-papa-silovoy-mafii https://rucriminal.info/en/material/krestnyy-papa-silovoy-mafii How the modest prosecutor Chistyakov made Lipetsk Sicily Mon, 10 Mar 2025 21:02:51 +0000 article

The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info continue to publish investigations into the corrupt nexus between the top leadership of the Lipetsk region and local security officials. The Lipetsk region prosecutor's office has never seen such corruption scandals. The reason is the extreme corruption of the former head of the anti-corruption department of the Lipetsk region prosecutor's office Dmitry Chistyakov, and the regional prosecutor himself Gennady Anisimov. <img alt="" src="https://rucriminal.info/files/gen.anisimov/%D0%90%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B2%20%D0%B2%20%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D1%8E.jpg" style="height:480px; width:450px" /> After taking office, Chistyakov positioned himself as Anisimov's right hand and friend, and immediately began creating corruption schemes to make money. He became close to the head of the regional UBEP, Vladimir Mrichko, whose department specializes in protecting illegal mining farms, cash-out operators, and counterfeit goods manufacturers, which are popping up in the Lipetsk region like mushrooms after rain. Instead of stopping such things as part of his official duties, Chistyakov began to receive his share of the protection of illegal businesses, covering for Mrichko and helping him. Mrichko made indicators of his work in this direction on those who refused to "cooperate" with him and on visiting performers. According to the VChK-OGPU, having acquired the necessary connections in the regional FSB department, Chistyakov became one of the main decision-makers in the security bloc. But, in general, being an extremely greedy person, he took on everything where he could earn money, got people jobs in the prosecutor's office and other structures for bribes, solved migration issues on the flow, pushed through the initiation of custom-made criminal cases, through the head of the regional social policy department Andreeva pushed through state purchases from his business partners, solved issues with MREO, etc., etc. According to the recollections of the interlocutor of Rucriminal.info, Chistyakov also took everything, but not greyhound puppies. He did not disdain food products, they came to his table from the territories in abundance and on a systematic basis, and not only for holidays. But there are still mysteries here, the employees of the prosecutor's office of the Dobrovsky district still do not understand what Chistyakov did with water and drinks from their local producer, which were brought to Chistyakov in Lipetsk in boxes every week. The construction of two houses, which Chistyakov organized and supervised on his behalf by the prosecutors of the Dobrovsky district Maslov, Sazonov was financed, among other things, by commercial structures, for example, by the owner of the recreation center "Golubaya Dal". Recreation centers are generally a special weakness of Chistyakov, he traveled to all of them in the region and rested in them for free almost every weekend. In the parks "Oleniy", Agromach-Palna, Skornyakovo, at the recreation centers "Golubaya Dal", "Khvoya", Chistyakov and his friends were not only accommodated for free, but also generously fed and watered for free. To expand the possibilities of corruption, Chistyakov pushed his people into positions in law enforcement agencies, together with Anisimov squeezed out intractable employees from the system. For this, Olga Kashirina was appointed to the position of head of the personnel department of the prosecutor's office, whom the prosecutors, not without reason, consider part-time to be Anisimov's lover. "Chistyakov was also a fan of office romances. During his tenure, he persuaded young assistants of the prosecutors of the Levoberezhny, Pravoberezhny and Sovetsky districts of Lipetsk to enter into intimate relationships with him. One of the employees dared to refuse Chistyakov, for which he began to harass her at work, and the girl was forced to transfer to the prosecutor's office of the Novgorod region," a source told Rucriminal.info.   Chistyakov's closest associate in his corruption cases was the former prosecutor of the Yeletsky district Stanislav Zhivalov. Zhivalov has a reputation as the most illiterate, unprincipled and corrupt prosecutor of the Lipetsk region. He was also caught on the protection of brothels with prostitutes, illegal mining, pushing through custom criminal cases, resolving issues with law enforcement agencies, land brokers. Moreover, he succeeded so much in this that they were forced to carry out his urgent "evacuation" and transfer him to work in Lipetsk.   According to the VChK-OGPU, Anisimov is now pretending to be a gullible leader who did not know what his inner circle was doing. But in reality, this is not the case. Anisimov is very closely connected with Chistyakov and is afraid that the latter might turn him in, which is why he allows Chistyakov, who was fired back in September 2024, to continue to illegally live in the service apartment at his own risk, while he evicted his deputy Ruslan Strelnikov from the service apartment just a few days after his dismissal. But in general, confusing the state pocket with his personal one is normal for Anisimov. In fact, Anisimov assigned one of the prosecutor's office service cars, along with the driver, to his wife Galina. She was driven to and from work in the Tambov Region court in the official prosecutor's Camry every day until her dismissal. And so that the car would not be seen, the state number on it, the prosecutor's series R-RR, was replaced with a regular one. and for writing off gasoline they wrote out fake waybills. And this is already a pure criminal offense, abuse of office, misappropriation of gasoline and official forgery of documents for the purpose of concealing theft, committed using official position, and for such tricks the prosecutor's office itself brings the embezzling officials to criminal responsibility. Will Anisimov get away with this, as well as free operations for his wife and her friend? Timofey Grishin To be continued.

How Shilin became a millionaire https://rucriminal.info/en/material/kak-shilin-stal-millionerom https://rucriminal.info/en/material/kak-shilin-stal-millionerom "I came to see the vice-governor as if he were the leader of an organized crime group, but was politely sent away" Sun, 09 Mar 2025 18:53:26 +0000 article

The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info found out the story of one of the richest people in the Volgograd region, former vice-governor Alexander Shilin, who tries to pretend to be a righteous member of society, but is himself the organizer of a criminal community that was actively operating in Volgograd and had security cover. When he was appointed vice-governor of the Volgograd region, the owner of a large regional oil company "VIPoil" Alexander Shilin thought about how he could make money using the instruments of power that had appeared. At that time, a fashion for creating large shopping centers for renting out premises appeared throughout the country, and a significant thing was the method of constructing these objects on the most desirable sites, where ordinary people usually lived in private homes. And here begins the story of how a successful businessman turns into the leader of an organized criminal group, for whom no means will be enough to achieve the set goal. Alexander Shilin, realizing that he himself, as an official, cannot get his hands dirty, decided to act through the hands of his henchman, Andrey Sredny, who was ready to fulfill any will of his boss. Everything happened on the territory of the private sector, a small village, opposite the DK "Khimik" in the Krasnoarmeysky district of Volgograd. At that time, there were over 30 households in the village and several generations of people lived there with their families, they would have continued to live there if Shilin had not set his sights on their lands and sent Sredny to resolve the issue at any cost. Having arrived on the territory, Sredny began to look for antisocial elements among the residents of the village, hoping in this way to get part of the households for free, but, to his chagrin, it was a village of decent families. As Rucriminal.info found out, then Shilin's henchman began to introduce himself as a major investor, director of Retail Development Group LLC, and offer to buy houses for a rather symbolic fee, for which it was impossible to buy even a one-room apartment in Volgograd at that time. Having heard another refusal and having passed on information about the difficulties in the negotiation process to Shilin, this criminal-official tandem decided to move on to a forceful solution to the problem. At that time, not having his own group, he turned to the criminal elements of the area so that they would turn the lives of the village residents into hell.   At that time, all the authoritative elements of Volgograd, one way or another, called themselves Kadintsy (authoritative businessman Vladimir Kadin was shot in 2011), even if they were not. Therefore, we will call the formed group Shilin's group. The group began by intimidating people, saying that they would be in trouble if they refused, that they would be very ill, and other threats. The most spineless, frightened, decided to take any money, just to stay alive and healthy. The horrors of the 90s were still fresh in people's memories and no one wanted it to happen to them, especially considering the contingent that, together with Sredniy, came to people to force them to sell their property. Despite the threats, most of the village still refused to leave, and then Shilin gave Sredniy the order to act as harshly and even cruelly as possible. Sredniy unquestioningly agreed to fulfill the boss's will. Realizing that it was impossible to intimidate these people with words, Sredniy gave the order to start setting fire to the village. At that time, Muzraev's terrorist style (Muzraev is a former shadow governor of the Volgograd region, a former head of the regional Investigative Committee, currently serving a sentence for terrorism) of intimidation was not yet a well-known fact, but criminal groups actively used this method of creating an atmosphere of terror and intimidation of people. As the VChK-OGPU found out, at the first stage, the members of the group began to burn already bought houses, in which no one lived, so that the glow of the fire would scare the residents, and they would understand that today they were burning empty houses, and tomorrow they would come for them. For each arson, firefighters arrived, the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived, everyone recorded the fact of arson, but then in an informal setting they told the locals that they could not investigate anything, they were too small people, and the whole vice-governor Shilin was behind it all. If they took even a step in his direction, then they themselves would be fired at best, but they could find a reason not just to fire them, but also to imprison them.   A significant story happened when Andrey Sredny drove up to one of the bought houses, in which homeless people were already living and everyone knew about it, in his black jeep. Without thinking twice, he took a canister out of the trunk and began to pour gasoline on the house. The homeless people, knowing that Sredniy always carried a gun, were very afraid to leave the house; he already had a reputation as a man who would shoot without batting an eye. After dousing the house with gasoline and throwing a lit match in its direction, Sredniy calmly got into his jeep and drove away from the crime scene. The homeless people seemed to have managed to run out and escape, but it is likely that not all of them. That episode showed the residents settlement, that each of them could be next. Each step Shilin took was tougher and tougher, he acted like an organized crime group from the wild 90s. He was getting closer to his goal of seizing the tasty plot of land. Every day the number of those resisting was decreasing, the people living there were simple, without such serious connections as Shilin. And yet there were those among the residents who fought to the end. One of these residents lived in a house for two owners, and when Sredny bought half of the house, he decided to get rid of his neighbor, he began to settle in the second half either a gypsy camp or homeless people, to whom he himself brought boxes of vodka for a stronger effect, they broke through the roof so that every rain in the house there would be a flood. But the man continued to fight. In his naivety, he made an appointment with Vice Governor Shilin, hoping to get through to the boss of this group, but was politely sent away, with the words that he was an ordinary official and had nothing to do with what was happening. When there were very few houses left, Sredny, maddened by impunity, decided to burn them down, so in the middle of the night, on his command, a wooden garage near a wooden house was set on fire. Only by a miracle did people manage to run out of the house, call the fire department and stay alive. The criminal case is still being investigated. Despite the testimony of residents, Sredny did not face any consequences for this, and there is no talk at all about the boss of the group, Shilin. After that, there was a hodgepodge of changes in the region's leaders, and Shilin was kicked out of his post. Having lost his administrative resource, he had to return to business without finishing the story of the total seizure of territory for subsequent development. Today, two houses stand, the residents of which the once all-powerful official, and now just a respected businessman, could not survive. This is a reminder to us of how capital was formed in our country. Yaroslav Mukhtarov To be continued

So I have a question: are you "in your right mind", uncle, or is there something wrong with your head?   - By the way, I, and not only I, have an example of you before my eyes. He could have disappeared too, not reported to readers the "horror stories" from the world of football, and prepared quite neutral reports from the matches. But you keep "digging and digging". Are you crazy, or what? After all, you really were almost   killed...   - Well, sports journalism and the direct work in football of those same referees are still different professions. Here you should not compare. Although the risk, yes, is quite comparable. If you are a normal, honest person.   Became a "persona non grata"   - I kept wanting to ask: you, however, ended your career as a football referee too early. You could have worked in your beloved football for at least a couple more seasons. Why did you "run away"? Were you scared? Not in the sense of condemnation, I would simply like to know and understand the reasons for   the "voluntary" resignation...   - Why, why... One of the officials of the football union called the Moscow college of referees. Then, and even now, this is a common   phenomenon, "telephone law" has not been cancelled. The caller did not simply   request, but insisted not to include Khusainov in the list of referees for the season.   That's all.   - Did they give any reason, why, for what? After all, they were "removing" one of the best referees   from the profession.   - It's clear anyway. They were taking revenge for an independent position. I   later tried to make my colleagues independent from the influence of businessmen, of whom there are apparently countless in big Russian football.   So, after finishing my career, as the head of the All-Russian Collegium   of Referees (VKS), I introduced a computer draw for appointing referees for championship   matches. Is that bad? Well, literally all the   "shadow players" who had long been accustomed to football-related relations turned against me!   - What exactly did you propose that was so revolutionary?   - Well, what do you mean, what? Thus, we, the judges, and I, as the leader, rejected the attempts of all sorts of "bugs" who were, and still are, behind many teams to "twist" us as they pleased. They really, really did not like our innovations. First of all, all sorts of crooks from big football.   - Can you be more specific? What, in your opinion, was the innovation in the work of football referees?   - For example, - and this is one of the main conditions, - we managed to find sponsors for the salaries of my colleagues, football referees. We no longer depended on the whims of the football union. For example, the referees received their salaries at their place of work, in our college, and ceased to depend on the whims of various "bugs" around football, all sorts of bigwigs in big football. But soon my opponents managed to return the situation to normal, to the near-sports channel. And referees, my colleagues, began to be paid money in the accounting department of the team hosting this or that opponent. There is nothing like this anywhere in the world! You could say that they have ruined domestic football at the root. All our innovations to clean up football have gone "down the drain".   - From the outside, to a simple fan, it is not clear where the frankly weak referees come from? Are they raised in special "nurseries", or what? And what kind of "nurseries" are these, in your opinion?   - But I have already partly told you. I will explain a little, if someone is still unclear. According to my many years of observation, a novice referee brings a bribe to the regional authorities, they send part of the money to the center. Already at the meeting of the executive committee of the Russian Football Union (RFU), the interests of the new referee are lobbied. Then my young colleague butters up his superiors, who promoted him on a "very thorny" path... - Excuse me, but do you think you never paid anyone anything, never "buttered up" anyone with money to work as a referee at football matches? - It would be better to ask my colleagues, who worked with me in one way or another. In any case, there is no information in nature about me "merging" teams, "killing" anyone with unfair, biased refereeing. To put it mildly, I was terribly disliked by all sorts of people around football, who, for example, organized the attack with bats that I remember. I didn't owe anyone anything: neither Spartak nor CSKA, nor Lokomotiv nor Dynamo...

The Defense Ministry General was punished for sitting in the FSB chair https://rucriminal.info/en/material/generala-mo-nakazali-za-to-chto-sel-v-kreslo-fsb https://rucriminal.info/en/material/generala-mo-nakazali-za-to-chto-sel-v-kreslo-fsb The head of the 1st service of the DVKR, Rear Admiral Utkin, personally shouted: "You will not serve!" Fri, 07 Mar 2025 20:40:46 +0000 article

The Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation does not know what to do with the criminal case of General Yuri Kuznetsov, the head of the Main Personnel Directorate of the Ministry of Defense. The case was opened by investigator Yuri Lavretsky in May 2024 in one day based on information from the 1st service of the Department of Military Counterintelligence of the FSB of Russia. Given the fact that even in the certificates of this service, submitted to the Investigative Committee, there is no information about the crime. Nevertheless, as the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info found out, at dawn the next day the general was harshly detained with the use of physical force against him and his family members, he was immediately charged with bribery and taken into custody. In this case, the principle of jurisdiction was violated - only a military investigative body had the right to initiate and investigate a criminal case against a serviceman. <img alt="" src="https://rucriminal.info/files/minoboron/%D0%9A%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%BE%D0%B2%20%D0%B2%20%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D1%8E.jpg" style="height:379px; width:450px" /> The bribe was mentioned for the first time in the investigator's report on the discovery of signs of a crime. What this statement is based on can only be guessed at. According to the prosecution, in 2021-2022, the general, being the head of the 8th department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, helped his neighbor on the land plot - Lev Martirosyan, win two auctions for concluding contracts for the accommodation of military personnel seconded to the Krasnodar Higher Military School in hotels and hotels in Krasnodar. For which, allegedly, he received a bribe in real estate - a land plot neighboring Martirosyan, on which the "bribe giver" was simultaneously building two houses - for himself and the general. It is curious that in the first case, only Martirosyan and his wife took part in the auction, and in the second, Martirosyan was the only participant in the auction, without competitors. According to a source of Rucriminal.info, by claiming that the general facilitated the husband's victory over his own wife at the auction (they were not divorced, the alleged bribe-giver lived with her and ran a common household), the investigation gave birth to a joke. In the auctions, the winner was determined by a commission, the composition of which was updated both times. The investigators have not yet invented a mechanism for the general's "facilitation" of Martirosyan's victory at the auctions after nine months of investigation. There is also no witness testimony that the general ever gave anyone instructions to "assist" Martirosyan at the auctions. In addition, any trade and procurement activities of the Krasnodar Military School were not and could not be included in either the official powers or the sphere of influence of General Kuznetsov, who held the position of head of the 8th Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (for the protection of state secrets) during the incriminated period. But the defense presented: certificates of income, expenses and other property obligations, annually submitted to the Office of the President of the Russian Federation for Civil Service, Personnel and Anti-Corruption, which reflected the acquisition of land plots, which the general's family bought in parts over a long period of time, the start of construction of the house and its commissioning, and its interests in relations with the sellers were represented by Martirosyan, acting under notarized powers of attorney, contracts for the sale and purchase of plots, copies of receipts issued by Martirosyan for the receipt of funds for the purchase of plots and the construction of a house, payment orders for bank transfers from the spouse of the "bribe taker" to the "bribe giver" (and not vice versa!) 6 million rubles for the same purposes. The original manuscripts will be presented only to the court, since two similar bills of exchange, seized among other business papers during the search, disappeared without a trace in the depths of the Main Investigative Directorate. "The bottom line is that there is no evidence of either bribery or bribery in the case, only the investigator's imagination. And the defense has all the necessary documents confirming the legality of both the acquisition of the incriminated property and the cash and valuables found and seized from the general's home. "The bribe-giver" Martirosyan is tired of repeating that he did not have money equal to the value of the property, similar to which he purchased a plot of land and built a house for his own family in order to give the general such a "gift" (and it is not clear for what?). As a result, the investigation has reached a dead end," the Rucriminal.info source believes. And Martirosyan continues to be pressured by the operational department of the Matrosskaya Tishina pretrial detention center, forcing him to incriminate himself and Kuznetsov. After the general's arrest, his wife was immediately fired from her job, all movable and immovable property was seized, even the salary cards of his daughters, effectively depriving the family of their livelihood. And when the Basmanny Court ruled to unblock the salary card (since her salary was paid by the state, not her father), VTB Bank refused to comply with the court decision and demands that the investigator send a ruling that he does not object to the execution of the court decision! After the arrest and seizure of property, the general stated that there are documents confirming the legality of their origin for all the seized monetary assets. The defense has been petitioning for several months to include these documents in the case materials and in the answer receives unmotivated refusals. So why are General Kuznetsov and his family being persecuted as enemies of the state? The story of sophisticated revenge began in May 2023, when the general, after three refusals, agreed to take the position of head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, which had been vacant for more than a year. An FSB employee was always appointed to this position, and Kuznetsov did not want to take "someone else's" chair, understanding the possible negative consequences. But after a personal meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, he was appointed to this position.   After some time, his deputy Vladimir Konstantinov, who transferred to this position from the state security department, had a conflict with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and Kuznetsov was ordered to reduce the position, and the deputy was fired. The general helped Konstantinov resign while maintaining all possible payments and the maximum pension. But this did not suit either the dismissed man or his superiors - Nikolai Yuryev, the head of the Far Eastern Defense Forces of the FSB of Russia, and Vitaly Utkin, the head of the 1st service of the Far Eastern Defense Forces. Rear Admiral Utkin, personally appearing in Kuznetsov's office, demanded that Konstantinov be left in his position and not be cut, no matter what! But Kuznetsov had no right to disobey the order of the leadership, which he reported to the rear admiral. And in response he heard: "In that case, you will not serve!" Rear Admiral Utkin kept his word. Since there was no dirt on General Kuznetsov, they came up with a "crime" for him. And the position of the head of the Main Directorate of Criminal Investigations is vacant again. And apparently, it will be occupied by officials according to the old "scheme". Arseniy Dronov
