The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info have learned of cases where law enforcement officers blackmail defendants in cases by sending them to the SVO. In exchange for such "merit", they demand the necessary testimony. This is exactly what happened to a former employee of the Economic Security and Anti-Corruption Department of the Leningrad Region Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on water transport of the Central Federal District Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. While under arrest, he filed a petition to send him to the SVO zone, but the investigator issued a refusal. In exchange, Bulavin was required to testify against his former - the head of the Economic Security and Anti-Corruption Department Sergei Yakovlev. But even this was not enough for the law enforcement officers. In exchange for approval of sending him to war, Bulavin was made a "decoy".
So, in the pre-trial detention center, he testified against two of his cellmates (former employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), allegedly he learned the information for the investigator from a private conversation. After that, the deputy head of the 2nd department for the investigation of especially important cases of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Moscow, Golovnev, signed the approval for sending him to the SVO. Now about the essence of this case and why they wanted to get testimony against Yakovlev from Bulavin. In the period from 03/15 to 04/15/2024, Sergei Yakovlev held the position of Acting Head of the Economic Security and Anti-Corruption Department of the Leningrad Region Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Water Transport of the Central Federal District Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. In December 2023, Yakovlev received information from his authorized representative that there is an individual entrepreneur, A.V. Mikheeva, who carries out the transportation of passengers by small-sized water transport, registered with the State Inspectorate for Small Vessels, without having a license for passenger transportation. Based on this information, Yakovlev begins an investigation into the entrepreneurial activity of Mikheev A.V., since his actions contain signs of a crime under Article 171 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This information was duly filed and was in an operational file marked secret. Yakovlev reported on all activities and investigations in this case to the head of the LO Karavaev, the chief of police Kem, to the UT MVD of Russia for the Central Federal District at operational meetings, and the supervisory prosecutor's office also familiarized itself with this material.
IP Mikheev carried out his activities through a website, which, in turn, is supervised by the management of the Admiral yacht club, in particular Mr. Polyakov.
As follows from the materials of the criminal case, which the VChK-OGPU familiarized itself with, Mikheev, after receiving a request from Yakovlev to provide information on commercial activities, as well as the need to comment on the movement of funds in the accounts, turns to the employees of the GUSB, not just any, but directly to the "C" department. Although the "C" department works mainly with the employees of the central office.
The statement is received by the senior detective of the OVD of the 14th department of the C department, police lieutenant colonel Khamidullin R.A.
In the statement, Mr. Mikheev asks to bring to criminal responsibility the employees of the LO UT for the Central Federal District - Kema D.A., Bulavin V.S., Yakovlev S.Yu. and a civilian - Chikin D.A., for extorting a bribe from him in the amount of three million rubles. After this statement, Mr. Mikheev voluntarily becomes a participant in the investigative experiment.
As it later turned out from the materials of the criminal case, the acting chief of police Bulavin V.S., according to Mikheev A.V., promised to settle the issue with Yakovlev for 3 million rubles (showing three fingers on his hand, in connection with which the victim concluded that this means 3 million rubles), but did not give any guarantees. The interrogation of Mikheev, the materials of the operational search and operational search activities in relation to Bulavin V.S., as well as the interrogation of Yakovlev S.Yu. are contained in the materials of the criminal case.
Bulavin was detained by the Main Directorate of Internal Security with cash that was thrown to him on the back seat of the car by Mikheev A.V. in the village of Pestovo Life.
At that time, Yakovlev S.Yu. was at home, which is confirmed by the Safe City cameras, as well as the tracker of the anti-theft system installed on Yakovlev's car.
No requests to terminate the investigation into the activities of "IP Mikheev D.A." from Bulavin V.S. were received by Yakovlev S.Yu.
In the temporary detention facility in Mytishchi, a personal conversation took place between Yakovlev S.Yu. and the senior investigator of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee I.S. Nikolaev, during which the senior investigator the investigator explained that Yakovlev should have been warned several times to stop the investigation of IP Mikheev and everything connected with the Admiral yacht club, as well as the Royal yacht club. Since Yakovlev S. Yu. continued the investigation, and also in view of his appointment to the post of the head of the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the LO MVD of Russia on water transport of the UT MVD of Russia for the Central Federal District (the order came on April 12, the day of the arrest), the task was received to "close" as an accused under Article 290, Part 6. \
Then the case is transferred to the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Moscow Region in the 2nd District Department of Internal Affairs. The deputy head of the 2nd District Department of Internal Affairs, Igor Evgenievich Golovlev, was appointed investigator in the case. The investigation materials regarding IP Mikheev are seized from the LO UT for the Central Federal District, employees of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs (the same senior operative officer of the OVD of the 14th department of the Central Department, Police Lieutenant Colonel R. A. Khamidullin). It is unknown where the investigation materials are currently located.
After the case was transferred to the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Moscow Region, The 2nd ROVD begins a series of visits by GUSB officers to the pretrial detention center and temporary detention facility to Yakovlev S. Yu. and Bulavin V. S.
According to Rucriminal.info, there were quite harsh conversations, where Yakovlev was forced to give a confession, threatening the well-being of his family members, showing photographs. Six months later, Vyacheslav Bulavin enters into a pre-trial cooperation agreement, during which he exposes himself as an intermediary in the transfer of funds, and also gives incriminating testimony against Yakovlev and Chikin.
The case against Bulavin was separated into a separate proceeding and suspended. At the moment, Bulavin is in the special military unit.
Bulavin's testimony given by him within the framework of the concluded pre-trial agreement is refuted by video recordings received by Yakovlev's defense attorney and the electronic media was sent to the preliminary investigation agency. However, the investigation does not draw any conclusions about the falsity of Bulavin's testimony.
As of today, the case is at the stage of consideration of the case "on the merits" in the Mytishchi City Court.
During the interrogation of prosecution witnesses, Mikheyev explained under the court record that it was indeed only Bulavin who extorted money from him, and the senior detective of the Department of Internal Affairs of the 14th Department of the Central Directorate, Police Lieutenant Colonel Khamidullin, asked him to enter the names of Yakovlev and Chikin, as well as the amount of three million rubles. Since Bulavin did not name any amounts to him. During the preparation of the statement and further interrogations, Mikheyev signed only those documents that were printed for him by the GUSB employees.
Also, during the trial, the defense presented the court with gross violations of the conducted operational search and operational search by Police Lieutenant Colonel Khamidullin R.A.
