Found an American contact Ilya Sachkov

Fugitive ex-owner of Otkrytie Vadim Belyaev turned out to be the secret co-owner of Group-IB





The founder of Group-IB, Ilya Sachkov, who is in Lefortovo on charges of treason, actually admitted that he was arrested for turning over Russian hackers to the American special services. He explains his act as "intolerance to cybercrime."



According to the telegram channel VChK-OGPU, the letter that Sachkov wrote in the pre-trial detention center and which was voiced by his lawyers says that what happened to him was "the result of open intolerance" to cybercrime. According to him, he was often "categorical and cruel" in the fight against cybercrime. “It all started and is developing in Russia, and all this time I stayed in Russia. Because I sincerely love my Motherland ... People who do not respect the country in which we live cause the same intolerance in me. That is why the article imputed to me seems so insulting and absurd, ”Sachkov writes.

Sources of Rucriminal.info spoke about Sachkov's strong American connection. It turned out that the shadow co-owner of Group-IB and the teacher of Ilya Sachkov lives in the United States. This is the founder of the financial group "Otkrytie" Vadim Belyaev, who is put on the international wanted list by Russia. Moreover, three sources note that one of the reasons for the arrest of the hacker could be, among other things, the close ties of Ilya Sachkov with Vadim Belyaev, who is currently hiding in the United States.



Who is Vadim Belyaev?



The fugitive Moscow banker Vadim Belyaev settled in the United States and is a very, very rich man. After all, Bank "Otkrytie" under Belyaev

The astronomical sum of 500 billion rubles was missed.

In 2017, the bank came under the control of the Central Bank, as the regulator began the process of its reorganization. In December 2018, troubled debts and non-core assets of Otkritie for 438 billion rubles. were transferred to the bank "Trust". Through the structure, before the reorganization, the bank was owned by Vadim Belyaev. After the reorganization, Trust is trying to collect debts from Belyaev and Otkritie Holding.

In total, Otkritie Holding owes 570 billion rubles to creditors. - five times more than the book value of its assets and nine times more than the market value, according to the bankruptcy statement of the holding.

Belyaev himself left for the United States.



Last year, Otkritie and Trust banks filed hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuits against the banker - the case is being considered by the New York State Supreme Court. The plaintiffs accused Belyaev of stripping assets from Otkritie using a scheme involving dozens of offshore companies. He allegedly used them to hide the origin of the withdrawn funds. Belyaev denied all charges.

One of the firms that Belyaev later used to design his American real estate was Wooster holding.



According to Rucriminal.info, this company, for example, has a banker's four-story apartment in the most expensive area of ​​New York - Soho. He bought a home in 2011 for $ 7,400,000. Now the house is already estimated at $ 10 million. Buyer - a company with a name at the house address - 74 Wooster holding. Experts say that in the United States it is a normal practice to create a new company for each sale and purchase of real estate in order to hide the real data of the owner of the house. However, sources claim that the banker himself has not lived in this house for a long time. It is home to Belyaev's ex-wife - actress Amalia Mordvinova with children.

"My mentor is Vadim Belyaev"

In an interview on the "People of Business" YouTube channel 4 years ago, Ilya Sachkov said: "Also my mentor, Vadim Belyaev, is the founder of the Otkritie corporation. The person who taught me to say no. In one situation, he told me "no" himself. Many thanks to him for that. " Further, the head of Group-IB says that due to the age of his father, he does not devote him to the nuances of work, however, two mentors in life - Vadim Belyaev and Andrei Romanenko replaced his father, says Sachkov.

It is important to note that another top manager of Otkrytie is also called another co-owner of Group-IB. According to sources, this is the ex-director of information security of the bank, Konstantin Chigirev.

According to the Rucriminal.info source, it was the communication of Ilya Sachkov with Belyaev and Chigirev that could become one of the reasons for the arrest of the founder of Group-IB for treason.

Group-IB is an international cybercrime and fraud prevention and investigation company. The headquarters is located in Singapore.

Rucriminal.info and VChK-OGPU managed to get an extract from two company accounts - according to it, there are just over 230 Singapore dollars on one account, 160 on the second. (The rate for December 16 is 0.73 US dollars).
