The path of the fixer. Part two

How the Bitayev clan, close to the leadership of the FSB of the Russian Federation, is organized



The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info continue to talk about the number one fixer at the FSB, Valery Bitayev, who is essentially openly trading the highest-ranking security officials, including the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation. Few can afford his services, for example, his main client, the oligarch Alisher Usmanov. The former military man (a graduate of the Frunze Academy, a participant in the war in Angola, was a fixer back under Serdyukov), official (headed the Volgograd Region representative office in Moscow) and businessman (holder of shares in the security forces) is preparing his replacement in the person of his son. And, despite the revelations, he remains at the center of corruption flows between people with money and people with power. Much has been said about Valery Bitayev's connections with the first deputy head of the FSB and at the same time the main contender for the post of director of the special service, Sergei Korolev. Including in the early posts of the VChK-OGPU. The "take-off" of the fixer coincided with the general's rise in service: after they met (different sources cite the period of Korolev's service in the Ministry of Defense), Bitayev acquired a mansion on the 2nd line of Serebryany Bor, where the neighbors are only billionaires, security officials and their relatives at the level of heads of federal departments. One of Bitayev's latest "projects" is the withdrawal from the criminal case of Viktor Lagvinets, a former friend and business partner of the former dollar billionaire and owner of the Yugra bank and a number of oil assets, including the Dulisma company, Alexei Khotin. According to a source of the VChK-OGPU, in addition to handing over assets and going under the "roof" of the FSB, the latter paid 11 billion (!) rubles to the treasury alone as compensation for damages. Among other things, the wife of the main "fixer" Galina Bitaeva became the owner of at least two more apartments in prestigious areas of Moscow. And most of the cars that were registered to her were insured in the name of a certain Alexey Linetsky. He is on the list of United Russia candidates for the State Duma from the Volgograd Region, which was headed at that time by Viktor Zubkov (according to colleagues from "Important Stories", Sergei Korolev owes his career to him).

As for the change in the field of solving problems, Valery Bitaev had two projects on this account: his own children Zalina Bitaeva and Valery Bitaev Jr.

The fixer's daughter had a successful career in the Arbitration Court of Moscow for a time. As "Important Stories" wrote, Zalina Bitaeva received the robe about twice as fast as other clerks (the appointment to the position was in 2012 by presidential decree), but since 2020 her name has disappeared from the court's website. The disappearance coincided with a criminal case involving the secretary of the Arbitration Court, who allegedly used the seal of Judge Bitaeva in the dark. However, it is difficult to say that the daughter of the main "fixer" went on the run or emigrated. In any case, that this happened immediately after the scandal in court. The leaks contain information that Zalina Bitaeva had regular GSM connections with her mother, dentist, security in Serebryany Bor and other subscribers until 2024. As for the son of the main "fixer", he grew up in "hothouse conditions" and did not grab the stars from the sky. Until his father put "cases" with the FSB on stream. The Internet has preserved profiles of Valery Bitaev Jr. from dating sites. He described himself as a man of average build with brown hair and tattoos. "Valera" wrote that he was looking for a girl from 18 to 27 years old for friendship and to start a family. In the photographs, he posed with a shot glass in his hands: the passions of youth, according to acquaintances, unfortunately, developed into problems with alcohol in adulthood. Until 2012, Valery Bitayev Jr. was listed in JSC "Resorts of the North Caucasus", and when his father's business went uphill, he headed "RT-MedIntegrator". The company was engaged in the purchase of Philips tomographs for Russian clinics. Thus, Valery Bitayev began to work with Rostec (the company had a direct relationship with the state corporation) and personally with Sergei Chemezov, through his protege Andrei Shepilov. Around this time, the son of the main fixer married Tatyana, née Berezhnaya. At that time, she was already older than Valery stated in his profile - 27 years old, but her age and background did not become an obstacle to marriage.

The woman worked in the supply department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then in the tax office. She was married to a certain Vasily Gorbunov, apparently a creative person. In different sources, he appears differently: sometimes as "Vasily Philharmonic", sometimes as "Vasily Producer", and in one place even as a courier for a popular delivery service. They have a daughter, but Valery Bitayev accepted Tatyana with her child from her first marriage as his own, and even gave both of them his last name.

Subsequently, Tatyana and Valery had children together, and the woman radically changed her lifestyle. She stopped working, formally got a job at the company "New Technologies", where her husband and all their entourage until recently received a salary, and Bitaeva's subscriptions were exclusively "plastic", "Bali" and "18+".

How much does a jet cost for the director of the FSB of the Russian Federation

Valery Bitayev is raising money for private jets for security officials and civil servants



As it became known to the telegram channel VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info, Alisher Usmanov has cooled towards his "fixer" Valery Bitayev (known as a person close to the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation Sergei Korolev) and speaks about him to his friends with a grin, calling him an obscene word starting with the letter p.... The oligarch is tired of Bitayev constantly pulling huge sums from him, allegedly for gifts to employees of the FSB of the Russian Federation and the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. Bitayev does not despair and has found himself several other "cash cows". From them, he takes huge sums for flights of the FSB leadership on private jets.



At various times, Bitayev was a fixer for billionaires Sergei Safonichev, Taimuraz Bolloyev, Dmitry Mazurov, etc. He positions himself as a person who is well acquainted with the leadership of the FSB of the Russian Federation and is capable of solving any problems with them for large sums, especially with the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation Sergei Korolev, whom, as Bitayev assures, he knows especially well and allegedly brought him out of "binges" more than once. Bitayev came to Usmanov after the story of the shootout on Rochdelskaya Street and the subsequent bribe to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the release of the "authority" Andrei Kochuykov (Italian), the "right hand" of the "thief in law" Zakhar Kalashov (Shakro). During the investigation, it was established that the sum of 500 thousand dollars for the bribe was allocated by the oligarch and State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Andrei Skoch, a partner of Alisher Usmanov. The latter is also mentioned in the wiretaps on the case as a person involved in the negotiations around this criminal story. Both Skoch and Usmanov, having bought out Italianets, wanted to please Shakro, whom they respected. In addition, Skoch personally knew Kochuykov; both started out together as part of the Solntsevskaya organized crime group.

As a result, clouds gathered over Skoch and he even left the Russian Federation for a while. However, after the intervention of fixer Bitaev, the FSB's interest in Skoch and Usmanov suddenly disappeared. Usmanov, impressed by Bitaev's capabilities, made him his personal fixer and even gave him a stake in the company Citatedl. Immediately after this, Citatedl bought the startup Bastion for several hundred million rubles, owned by 23-year-old student Boris Korolev, the son of Sergei Korolev.

However, such stories are extremely rare, and Bitaev, who leads the lifestyle of a billionaire, needs money constantly. You can't make the necessary money by organizing criminal cases on Usmanov's orders (against journalists, miners, etc.). And, as VChK-OGPU found out, Bitayev started using a scheme in Usmanov's case that he had previously tried on other billionaires. He started to pull money from Usmanov for gifts to high-ranking security officials and civil servants. We are talking about gifts allegedly worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars. The scheme worked successfully until Usmanov found out that most of these funds did not remain with Bitayev himself. Moreover, several cases "surfaced" when the "expensive" gifts turned out to be fakes.

As a result, according to a source of Rucriminal.info, Usmanov cooled towards Bitayev. The oligarch did not drive him away completely, but now treats him with mockery and does not give him much money.

But Bitayev does not despair and is looking for new ways to replenish his income. In particular, over the last couple of years, he has been actively "cultivating" smaller businessmen, especially an entrepreneur in the energy sector from Dagestan. The "milking" scheme is simple. Exactly two months after the start of the war, in April 2022, Bitayev created LETONA JET LLC, which helps rent private jets. And Bitayev tells his clients that only his jets are used by the entire leadership of the FSB of the Russian Federation (including Director Alexander Bortnikov and First Deputy Director Sergei Korolev), as well as other security officials and officials. And he asks businessmen, including an entrepreneur from Dagestan, to pay for the jets, promising loyalty from the special services in return. As a source of the VChK-OGPU previously reported, one of the largest Russian fixers, Valery Bitayev, who positions himself as a person close to the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation Sergei Korolev, officials of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, etc., confidentially informed his selected clients that the Kremlin and the FSB of the Russian Federation have begun to form a list of people who will be present at a “closed” meeting with Trump during his visit to Moscow. Bitayev tells clients that there are very few places, but he is able to facilitate their presence on the coveted list for $2 million. There are those who want to be on it. Everyone is interested in how Bitayev will get out of this, considering that he never returns the money.
