“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. Bekmuradov created by him. organized group, and acting under it- Bekmuradova B.I. leadership.

Having received an instruction from Mirzoev D.R., Bekmuradov B.I. brought the developed plan to unidentified persons (the case in respect of which was separated into a separate proceeding), who are participants in the B.I. organized group, distributed roles among them. 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. After that, Bekmuradov B.I., acting in accordance with what was achieved with Mirzoev D.R. agreement, instructed the unidentified participants created and led by him-Bekmuradov B.I. group, to carry out the kidnapping of Minakhi in order to force him to return the existing debt, in the amounts and terms established by Yakobashvili. 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. Having placed Minakhi and Kh Kh. in the indicated premises, and holding them, the unidentified participants in the organized by Bekmuradov B.I. groups, inflicted at least one blow to Minakhi's head with a hand, directed the barrel of an object resembling a pistol towards his head, fired in the immediate vicinity of Minakhi and X A.G. at least two arbitrary shots from an unidentified weapon, and also put forward a demand for repayment of the debt by Minakhi, expressing, in case of refusal to comply with the requirements, threats of physical violence against him and members of his family, and at the same time showing photographs depicting the places of his residence. As a result, Minakhi was forced to recognize the existence of obligations to repay the debt and fulfill them. After that, unidentified participants organized by Bekmuradov B.I. the groups left the unfinished garage, leaving Minakhi and X X.X in the garage with their hands tied and unable to move.

$ 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.

Who allocated $ 1 million for thief in law Shakro

How a billionaire sponsored a bribe to the security forces from the mafia



In the case of giving a bribe of $ 1 million to ICR employees for the release of the authority of Andrei Kochuikov (Ialyanets is the "right hand" of thief in law Zakhar Kalashov (Shakro), the main question remained unanswered - who allocated this gigantic amount to bribe law enforcement officers. The money was directly transferred by the "fixer" Dmitry Smychkovsky, but he was only an intermediary between the ICR employees and the person who allocated $ 1 million in the interests of Shakro.So who is this person? that this person was businessman Albert Khudoyan.

Sources of the VChK-OGPU telegram channel told under what circumstances this version appeared. When Khudoyan had a conflict with Ildar Samiev and Sergei Govyadin, they entered into secret negotiations with Smychkovsky, who was already on the wanted list. The essence of the deal he was offered was simple. Smychkovsky will testify that it was Khudoyan who gave the $ 1 million as a bribe to the ICR employees. The beef man organizes everything in such a way that Khudoyan will end up behind bars for a very long time. And Smychkovsky during this time will be able to seize all joint assets with Khudoyan, in particular the OZ Mall shopping center. Moreover, he will be able to return to the Russian Federation and he will not be jailed for bribery. Smychkovsky agreed, but made a reservation that he would give testimony only if he saw that the topic of "bribe from Khudoyan" by the FSB had started. Otherwise, it will turn out the other way around and Khudoyan can leave him without a share in the assets.

As a result, Samiev testified at the Investigation Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation that he was present during the conversation between Khudoyan and Smychkovsky, during which the former ordered the latter to “take out” $ 1 million from the profits from shopping centers and transfer it as a bribe to the ICR employees. Thus, Khudoyan allegedly wanted to make a gift to his acquaintance, the thief in law Shakro, who was very worried about the fate of the Italian's friend. Then Smychkovsky was supposed to speak with his testimony. It was discussed that he would send them in writing or, for example, give them by Skype. However, the Investigation Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation was extremely skeptical about Samiev's testimony. The support promised by Govyadin from the FSB operatives did not follow. And Smychkovsky, as they say, jumped off the testimony. Beef Maxim that he could squeeze out of the situation is to rinse the topic of “bribe from Khudoyan” in the media. After the generals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who were arrested for allegedly helping Khudoyan, were released, Smychkovsky is very worried whether he will find out about his "conspiracy" with Samiev and Govyadin Khudoyan. Otherwise, you can stay without income while on the run in England.

Smychkovsky is a close friend and partner of businessman Albert Khudoyan. Together they decided, together they invested fat in shopping centers in the Kuban, in particular, they own the OZ Mall in Krasnodar. The senior partner in this group was Khudoyan.

There were other testimonies in the case materials about who gave the $ 1 million. And the FSB of the Russian Federation gave them a go, carefully checked them.

According to the testimony of witnesses, the discussion and transfer of $ 1 million to fixer Dmitry Smychkovsky took place in one of the Moscow restaurants. The money was given by David Mirzoev, a relative of thief in law Shakro the Young. It was a sum from him and his business partner and relative David Yakobashvili, who also knew Shakro. Smychkovsky gave the money to the ICR staff. They began to work out the version and a lot converged. Indeed, at the indicated time there were negotiations in the appropriate restaurant. Moreover, Mirzoyev and Yakobashvili paid for Shakro's numerous guards and security services. Batyr Bekmuradov, who carried out the orders of the thief in law and was responsible for his safety, was the person of Mirzoev and Yakobashvili. Now Mirzoyev and Bekmuradov are being tried for the kidnapping of Boris Minakha, a former friend and business partner of Yakobashvili, with whom they could not share assets.

However, then, as the source told Rucriminal.info, Yakobashvili, who was sitting abroad, resolved his questions at a high level and the topic from $ 1 million was simply lowered to nothing. It was considered that it was not possible to collect a sufficient amount of evidence confirming the version that the money was given by Mirshchoev and Yakobashvili. As a result, the verdict says that $ 1 million was received “from an unidentified person from the circle of Z.K. Kalashov. through the mediation of DE Smychkovsky. "

Rcriminal.info publishes an excerpt from the case with this snippet.
