“Putting cloth bags over their heads”

How a Forbes billionaire gets out of debt



The First Court of Appeal of General Jurisdiction upheld the verdict of the Moscow Regional Court in the case of the kidnapping of a prominent businessman Boris Minakhi and his bodyguard. This was reported by the telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU. Previously, two interesting characters were found completely guilty by the jury. The first is Batyr Bekmuradov, head of the security service of thief in law Zakhara Kalashov, nicknamed Shakro young. Batyr, along with his boss, was convicted of extortion, but now he has a new sentence - for kidnapping.

The second defendant in the case is David Mirzoev, a relative, former partner, and “right hand” of billionaire David Yakobashvili.



As a result, Bekmuradov received 12 years in prison, and Mirzoev - 10 years in prison.

Around this case, the “fight” was no less acute than around the case against the ex-investigator of the ICR Ruslan Miniakhmetov, and the characters in both stories are the same. Mirzoev, first through the solver Andrey Matus, and then directly communicated closely with the Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation, which, to put it mildly, was not interested in the investigation reaching the final and a guilty verdict. In turn, the investigation itself was carried out by the Investigative Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation, and it was within its framework that most of the materials on the receipt of bribes by Miniakhmetov were collected.

The essence of the story is this. The billionaire Yakobashvili had a longtime friend and partner, Boris Minakhi, with whom they had a quarrel over a large elevator and a number of other assets. Yakobashvili was then ill and most of his affairs were handled by David Mirzoev. He had an assistant in criminal cases, Batyr Bekmuradov, whom he sent as the head of the security service to his senior comrade thief in law Zakhar Kalashov. It was Bekmuradov's militants who, on Mirzoev's go-ahead, kidnapped a businessman, US citizen Boris Minakhi and his driver on the Rublevsky highway, and took them to one of the construction sites. Mirzoev and Bekmuradov arrived there with false mustaches, beards and wigs (so that they would not be identified). They began to demand that Minakhi rewrite the shares of a large grain elevator. Minakhi promised to fulfill everything, he was released.

At the disposal of Rucriminal.info was a copy of the verdict and we give interesting excerpts from it:

Bekmuradov B.I., agreeing to this proposal of Mirzoev D.R., agreed with the latter to kidnap Minakhi and then keep him, during which, with the use of violence against the latter and the threat of harm to the life and health of his family members, to force Minakhi to return of Yakobashvili's debt in the shortest possible time. At the same time, Bekmuradov B.I. developed a plan for the implementation of the plan, coordinated it with Mirzoev D.R. and agreed with him on its implementation by persons who are part of the B.I.

Carrying out leadership and coordinating the actions of unidentified members of an organized group, Bekmuradov B.I. instructed them to trace the routes of Minakhi's movement, including using technical means of observation and fixing his location, to find a convenient place for the attack and capture of Minakhi, as well as a room for his further retention; take conspiracy measures by changing the appearance and appearance.



Unidentified participants led by Bekmuradov B.I. group, the instructions given to them were carried out, about which he - Bekmuradov B.I. was notified.

At the same time, B.I. Bekmuradov, in order to create an artificial alibi for himself in order to conceal his involvement in the illegal actions being committed, left the territory of the Russian Federation.

Fulfilling the instructions of Bekmuradov B.I., developed by him and agreed with Mirzoev D.R. plan, acting in accordance with distributed roles, unidentified participants organized by Bekmuradov B.I. groups, on the road leading to Minakhi's dwelling., at a distance of 150 meters from the entrance to the cottage village, under the threat of using unidentified weapons, stopped the car with Minakhi and XX in it (driver of Minakhi - Rucriminal.info), and with using physical force, they pulled them out of the car, threw them to the ground, struck at least one blow with a baseball bat on their heads, and then, putting cloth bags over their heads and tying their hands with plastic ties, put them in an unidentified vehicle, on which moved in a pomacerepair of an unfinished garage.

How the authority blinded Rublyovka

Surveillance cameras turned off for kidnapping on government highway

The jury of the Moscow Regional Court announced their verdict in the case of the kidnapping of a prominent businessman, US citizen Boris Minakha and his bodyguard. As the first telegram-kana of the Cheka-OGPU reported, two interesting characters were found to be completely guilty and not entitled to leniency. The first is Batyr Bekmuradov, the head of the security service of the thief in law Zakhar Kalashov, nicknamed Young Shakro. Batyr, along with his boss, was convicted of extortion, but now a new sentence has been passed on him - for kidnapping.



The second defendant in the case is David Mirzoev, a relative, former partner, and "right hand" of billionaire David Yakobashvili. Mirzoyev was arrested right in the courtroom.

Around this case, the "fight" was no less acute than around the case against the former investigator of the TFR Ruslan Miniakhmetov, and the heroes in both stories are the same. Mirzoyev, first through the fixer Andrei Matus, and then directly closely communicated with the Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation, which, to put it mildly, was not interested in the investigation reaching the final and a guilty verdict. In turn, the investigation itself was conducted by the Investigative Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation, and it was within its framework that most of the materials about the receipt of bribes by the Miniakhmetovs were collected.



The essence of the story is as follows. Yakobashvili had a longtime friend and partner, Boris Minakhi, with whom they quarreled to the ground over a large grain elevator and a number of other assets. Yakobashvili was ill then and most of his affairs were dealt with by David Mirzoev. The latter had an assistant for criminal affairs, Batyr Bekmuradov, whom he sent as the head of the security service to his senior comrade "thief in law" Zakhar Kalashov. It was Bekmuradov's militants, on the go-ahead of Mirzoyev, who kidnapped a businessman, US citizen Boris Minakha and his driver on Rublevskoye Highway, and took them to one of the construction sites. Mirzoyev and Bekmuradov arrived there with false mustaches, beards and wigs (so that they would not be identified). They began to demand from Minakhi to rewrite the shares of a large grain elevator. Minakhi promised to do everything, he was released.

According to the Cheka-OGPU and Rucriminal.info, the investigative department of the FSB of the Russian Federation during the investigation of the kidnapping of Boris Minakha came across an interesting fact. The crime was committed in the area of ​​Rublevskoye Highway and near Gorki (where, among others, Dmitry Medvedev lives), but the criminals managed to agree that at the time of the abduction, all surveillance cameras (including those on the government highway) were turned off at the time of the abduction. How this was done became the subject of a separate work by the FSB of the Russian Federation. However, it was not possible to establish who organized the "dark section". The accused - businessman David Mirzoev and Batyr Bekmuradov (security guard of thief in law Zakhar Kalashov) - refuse to testify on this matter. And the work of the FSB officers is complicated by the fact that the materials about the abduction came to them only two years after the abduction. All this time, Mirzoev, through Orlov, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in Moscow, managed to agree that, according to Minakha's statements, waivers were issued.

It was within the framework of the investigation into the abduction of Minakha that materials were collected on the receipt of bribes by the investigator of the TFR Ruslan Miniakhmetov and the employee of the 6th Internal Security Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation Dmitry Ulyanov. The money was given to them by the fixer Andrey Matus, who also solved problems for Mirzoev. And he paid him gigantic sums from himself and from David Yakobashvili.

On the audio recording published by Rucriminal.info, Mirzoev is interested in how the solution of the problems for which hundreds of millions of rubles have been transferred is progressing. And at the same time he talks about the state of Yakobashvili, who was ill then.

At that moment, Matus was simultaneously solving various criminal cases and topics for which the security officials were owed more than 700 million rubles.



End the criminal prosecution of Matus' partner Valery Semenduev - 5 million euros (the case was investigated by Miniakhmetov).



Initiate a case and send to the pre-trial detention center all the entourage of businessman Boris Minakha, who was in conflict with Yakobashvili. For this, the oligarch David Yakobashvili and his "right hand" David Mirzoev promised a total of 200 million rubles (100 million rubles in advance).


Stop a large, billion-dollar business that harmed the interests of the oligarch Shalva Gibradze. For this, an amount of 200 million rubles was also designated.


It was also necessary to help in solving the problems of Yakobashvili and Mirzoev on smaller stories - $ 1 million.


Since all these topics were "moving" at the same time, the parties agreed that they would not share bribes on business. There is a total amount in the region of over 700 million rubles and it must be repaid in installments. As money arrives, the work will be carried out in stages. For example, the prosecution of Semenduev will end when a total of € 5 million comes in. On most of the costly issues, Miniakhmetov and his friend Dmitry Ulyanov acted as intermediaries, claiming that they would share the money with the "fathers-generals." It should be noted that a significant part of what was promised by the investigator and operatives was fulfilled.

$ 1 million from Tatler for generals and thief in law

The commander of group A of the FSB in the assistants of billionaires and mafiosi





The Moscow Regional Court today will host a decisive hearing on the kidnapping of a prominent businessman Boris Minakha and his bodyguard. Two interesting characters appeared before the servants of Themis. The first is Batyr Bekmuradov, the head of the security service of the thief in law Zakhar Kalashov, nicknamed Young Shakro. Batyr, along with his boss, was convicted of extortion, but now a new trial awaits him - on charges of kidnapping. The second defendant in the case is David Mirzoev, a relative of the billionaire David Yakobashvili, and the same Kalashov.



The essence of the story is as follows. Yakobashvili had a longtime friend and partner, Boris Minakhi, with whom they quarreled to the ground over a large grain elevator and a number of other assets. Yakobashvili was ill then and most of his affairs were dealt with by David Mirzoev. The latter had an assistant for criminal affairs, Batyr Bekmuradov, whom he sent as the head of the security service to his senior comrade "thief in law" Zakhar Kalashov. It was Bekmuradov's militants, on the go-ahead of Mirzoyev, who kidnapped a businessman, US citizen Boris Minakha and his driver on Rublevskoye Highway, and took them to one of the construction sites. Mirzoyev and Bekmuradov arrived there with false mustaches, beards and wigs (so that they would not be identified). They began to demand from Minakhi to rewrite the shares of a large grain elevator. Minakhi promised to do everything, he was released and he immediately went with a statement to the police.



The same amicable campaign is featured in another, never fully disclosed, case - about a bribe of $ 1 million for a group of leading ICR officers for the release of "authority" Andrei Kochuikov (Italian), who is Shakro's "right hand". The same campaign plus one person is one of the richest businessmen in the south of Russia, the owner of Novosstal and Novorosmetall, Shalva Yuzaevich Gibradze.



As Rucriminal.info told, events developed as follows. When, after the massacre at the Elements restaurant, the Italian found himself behind bars, it immediately became known that Shakro would be grateful to the one who would pull his friend out of the dungeons. And Kalashov's gratitude is worth a lot. Just to give money (and a lot), 10-15 top businessmen were ready. However, they still needed someone who actually knew who to give them to in order for the necessary to happen.



David Yakobashvili and David Mirzoev are not only friends with Shakro, but are his relatives. Gibradze is Yakobashvili's partner in a number of projects and is also a friend of Shakro. They decided together to look for ways out to the leading employees of the TFR capable of influencing the situation. Everyone was from the south of Russia and knew that a fixer from the Krasnodar Territory Dmitry Smychkovsky was extremely close to the TFR. But none of them personally knew him. And even a "nodding" acquaintance was not enough. Smychkovsky on such issues would not discuss anything even with respectable people.

We started looking for ways out, asked the fixer Andre Matus about it. He knew that Smychkovsky's closest friend at that time was Aleksandr Pakholchenko, the current head of the unit in the Krasnodar Territory (KK) of the Alpha group of the FSB of the Russian Federation. He is a close friend and godfather of the then head of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for KK Bugaenko and participated in many "topics". At the same time, Pakholchenko rendered such a service to businessmen, including reputable ones, as providing security with the forces of Alpha fighters. In 2018, he was fired from the FSB "due to a loss of confidence." It was found that Pakholchenko was living beyond his means. In particular, in order to be summoned to the service at the signal "Gathering", he indicated his place of residence in a luxurious mansion, registered with his mother. However, it was found that the real owner of the cottage is Pakholchenko himself.



Pakholchenko agreed to help in this delicate matter and discuss everything with Smychkovsky. The latter, under the guarantee of Pakholchenko and Matus, agreed to meet to discuss the topic with Mirzoev and Gibradze. The meeting took place in Moscow at the Tatler restaurant. It was decided there that the fee for the service would be $ 1 million ($ 500 thousand from Mirzoev and Yakobashvili and 500 thousand from Gibradze). Mirzoev and Gibradze took over all the financial component, and Smychkovsky had to deal with technical issues directly with Shakro.

The money went away as a result. The Italian was almost released, but at the door of the pre-trial detention center he was met by an officer of the FSB of the Russian Federation. They also soon detained a group of ICR officers, and then Shakro. Smychkovsky managed to leave Russia. On it, the thread leading to the one who paid $ 1 million was cut off.
