“Thinner and unusually restrained Zakharchenko”

What scared the colonel-billionaire from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Fede

On August 3rd, the Moscow City Court finished considering the sensational appeal in the case of ex-colonel-billionaire Dmitry Zakharchenko. The process started on November 15 last year, then was postponed several times due to Zakharchenko's protests, as well as the severe progressive illness of businessman Valery Markelov (pancreatic cancer in the terminal stage), due to which he could not participate in the process.



The July 13 meeting was adjourned due to Markelov's death. The verdict to the businessman did not come into force, he did not admit his guilt, and due to bureaucratic delays and the position of the ex-judge of the Presnensky Court, Sergei Artemov, he was unable to start treatment in a timely manner. It is significant that after the verdict in the case of Zakharchenko, Artemov went for a promotion to the Moscow City Court.

On August 3, Valery Markelov's death certificate was presented to the Moscow City Court by his defense. Zakharchenko, who had lost a lot of weight and was unusually restrained, was brought to the meeting room in person, and his alleged accomplices Viktor Belevtsov and Vasily Kritinin were connected via videoconferencing. Markelov's brother Mikhail acted as the legal representative of Markelov, who declared Valery Markelov's innocence and asked to cancel the verdict.

Kritinin's defense immediately issued a statement about the death of his client's father, as well as the illness of his child. After that, the court proceeded to announce the appeals against the verdict, which the defenders called "inadmissible, unfounded, up to typos copied from the indictment", asking him to cancel and issue an acquittal.

After that, Zakharchenko took the floor. He emotionally spoke about the fact that he was never allowed to get acquainted with the evidence in the case, primarily with the "Platform", where, according to the prosecution, all the "black" cash transactions were reflected, and also questioned the qualifications and impartiality of those who spoke in the Presnensky court witnesses. In the end, he asked to acquit all the accused "due to the absence of a crime event."



State prosecutor Milana Digaeva predictably began to object, noting that no one prevented the defenders and the accused from studying the evidence, calling them exhaustive, sufficient and consistent, and also examined in court to the extent necessary.

She asked that the sentences of Zakharchenko, Belevtsov and Kritinin be left in force, and that the criminal case against Markelov be dropped in view of his death.

The cornerstone requirement of the defenders - the study of the laptop with the "Platform" was rejected by the court, citing the absence of such a need and supporting the corresponding petition of the state prosecution.

Zakharchenko, who started the debate, had to be stopped and, at the request of the presiding judge, “to explain to him the essence of the judicial debate.” “Your honor,” the ex-colonel said after a short break, “following your instructions, I will reduce my 118 arguments to a minimum.” After that, he talked for another half an hour about the fact that he paid for his vacation in Sochi himself, did not receive any bribes, and no one provided evidence to the contrary.

Lawyer Alexander Gofshtein in his speech pointed out that, in accordance with all legislative norms, Markelov's sentence should be canceled, and after that the criminal case against him should be dismissed. Separately, Gofshtein noted the unsubstantiated accusations, their stereotyped, inconsistent, groundless and "absurdity."

In a surprisingly short last word, Zakharchenko asked for "law and justice." To the amazement of those present, who expected that this would not happen until Friday, the judges went into the deliberation room to make a decision.



The troika of the Moscow City Court, chaired by Inna Tardzhumanyan, determined that the criminal case against Markelov should be terminated, the sentence canceled, and the seizure of property removed. The verdict against Dmitry Zakharchenko, Vasily Kritinin and Viktor Belevtsov was upheld.

Billionaire from the Ministry of Internal Affairs Zakharchenko attacking fans

Revelations at the trial of the richest colonel





On March 23, the Presnensky District Court of Moscow continued to consider the case of "billionaire" Colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko. According to the investigation, he received billions in bribes for patronage from the largest contractors of Russian Railways. In January 2022, the court began a detailed examination of the evidence of Zakharchenko's defenders and his alleged bribe givers. Among these evidences, numerous inconsistencies in the documents of the investigation and the testimony of his witnesses should be noted (The telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU wrote in detail about this), which were analyzed in detail by the defenders. The defense also presented its own witnesses, from whose testimony it followed that in the notorious "Platform" (or eb2), where, according to the investigation, illegal financial transactions against Zakharchenko were reflected, there is no direct evidence fixing the facts of the transfer and even the passage of money. In addition, from numerous testimonies, it turned out that people who, according to the investigation, were closely related to each other, in fact, barely knew each other. The “second case of Zakharchenko” has been considered in the Presnensky Court since January 2021, and its participants expect that the verdict could be handed down by the May holidays. Details in the report of the correspondent of the Cheka-OGPU and Rucriminal.info.



The meeting, which began with an hour and a half delay, was not held in the hall that had already become familiar to the participants in the process, but was moved to another, more spacious room: the state prosecutor Milana Digaeva decided to present the testimony of Yevgeny Selyakov (a good friend of Zakharchenko, Viktor Belevtsov and Vasily Kritinin, who are on dock in the present case). Selyakov spoke for a long time about the details of the personal lives of his acquaintances (however, they were of little relevance to the case), all the time emphasizing that the relationship between them was “friendly”, and “I did not have to carry out any orders from them.” A couple of times in the testimony of Selyakov, the names of Motorin and Stankevich surfaced: according to him, he heard about them from one of his comrades. Once he happened to cross paths with Markelov: Selyakov, who was engaged in construction, offered him his services as a contractor, "however, he received a negative answer: we did not meet again."



The meeting was then followed by a break. It was connected with the fact that one of the defendants in the case, the ex-co-owner of the 1520 Group of Companies, Valery Markelov, feels worse every day, which is noticeable even in his appearance: over the past three months he has lost a lot of weight and is obviously weakened. During the meeting, his lawyer asked the judge to give an opportunity to examine the defendant to the doctors of a private ambulance right in the courthouse. The court gave permission for this, provided that an ordinary ambulance was also involved, but the convoy allowed only state doctors to Markelov, referring to the instructions.

After a short break, during which Zakharchenko amused the audience with a story that numerous admirers write letters to him and even propose marriage (a certain Ms. Chichulina, who, as it turned out, wrote about Zakharchenko even to judge Sergei Artemov, was especially persistent), the defense invited Alexey Savitsky (Associate Professor of Moscow State Law Academy, member of the Department of Forensic Examinations). Based on the results of studying the documents of the case (primarily “Platka”), the expert showed that they clearly lack details and documents that would unambiguously prove the fact that money was spent in favor of Zakharchenko or other persons, therefore it cannot be argued that the movement of funds in principle took place . “Even taking into account the fact that we are talking about rough accounting, not a single fact of posting can be established, and the very conclusion of a specialist who studied the database has no scientific or even economic justification,” Savitsky summed up. Then his conclusions were illustrated with various examples from The Playground. Based on this speech, lawyer Zakharchenko asked the judge for a new examination of the financial calculations given in the case (and on the "Platform"). Judge Artemov did not make a decision right away, since the state prosecution represented by Milana Digaeva was not ready for such a turn, promising to express her attitude to the petition next time.



At the end of the five-hour session, the court, to everyone's satisfaction, began interrogating Zakharchenko, whose speech during the entire process was distinguished by figurativeness, not always appropriate length and numerous irrelevant reflections that caused a smile and stable interest of those present. The ex-colonel spoke about his friendship with Avsholum Yunaev (the head of Gazprom Avtomatizatsiya, which, according to the prosecution, paid for Zakharchenko’s vacation in Sochi), saying that he did not receive any bribes from him, did not discuss work issues, and money for a ticket to Sochi during the New Year holidays 2015-2016 returned. In his speech, Zakharchenko called the bankers Chuvilin and Gorbuntsov “duty applicants” and “scammers that cause a negative reaction in any normal person”, suggesting that the court disregard their testimony as mosh ennicheskimi. Markelov, Stankevich and Motorin Zakharchenko called "normal men with whom normal, but not close and not business relations have developed." I, given my opportunities and the industries with which I was professionally connected, simply could not be of interest to these people from a business point of view. According to him, Zakharchenko learned about the existence of the eb2 base only from the case materials, “and the stupid nicknames attributed to me like Cherry or Zakhar the Cunning generally offend me.”

The next hearing was scheduled for April 6. VChK-OGPU will follow the course of events.

The kings of the state order turned out to be the kings of microloans

How "sawed" GK-1520, which was "roofed" by Dmitry Zakharchenko



Two favorite topics of the VChK-OGPU telegram channel and Rucriminal.info have united in one investigation at once. The owners of GK 1520 - the largest contractor of Russian Railways, who worked under the "roof" of Dmitry Zakharchenko - as it turned out, is related to the very dubious structure for issuing microloans "VIVA Money", which all over Russia makes hundreds of people indebted, who in reality did not take from them never microloans. We are talking about the co-owners of GK 1520 Valery Markelov (formally former), Boris Usherovich and Alexei Krapivin.



Residents of Russian regions massively complain that microcredits are issued for them without their knowledge. So, writes 74.Ru, a resident of Chelyabinsk faced such a situation. Without her knowledge, they took out a microloan from VIVA Money.

Similar cases occurred in the Novosibirsk region, where this company also appeared. As one of the victims told the NGS, someone took 5,000 rubles on her behalf. at 358% per annum in VIVA Money. And the Siberian is not alone.

There are quite a few victims of VIVA Money. The Banki.ru website, according to the agency, describes several stories that occurred from May to December 2021. All of them are similar: a person accidentally finds out that a microcredit has been issued to him. At the same time, different amounts are mentioned: from 3,000 to 11,000 rubles.

The microfinance company Center for Financial Support (CFS) operates under the VIVA Money brand.

The owner of the CFP is the Cypriot offshore Guinford Management Ltd., the largest share (48%) in which belongs to businessman Roman Mironchik, he also heads the board of directors of JSC IFC CFP (VIVA Money). The remaining share is distributed among seven individuals and two more offshore companies.

Roman Mironchik owns a large number of properties in Moscow (including the Bakhrushin House complex) together with Alexei Krapivin

In addition to Mironchik, a significant share of the Cypriot offshore, where the ultimate owners of VIVA Dengi are hiding, is owned by Roden Capital Management Ltd (13.3%). It, in turn, belongs to Roman Pivovar and Denis Uchaev (each with 49%).

Pivovar and Uchaev also have 20% each in Sima Farm LLC (Yuryev-Polsky district of the Vladimir region), where 20% belong to Dmitry Maistrenko, a friend and business partner of the same Alexei Krapivin. Of the small co-owners of the offshore, Alexey Pugachev, a friend and business partner of Boris Usherovich and Valery Markelov, is of interest.



Some of the offshore co-owners and top managers of CFP are related to another microfinance company, Finpoint.

There is an opinion on the market that it is Krapivin, Usherovich and Markelov who are the full-fledged co-owners of this microfinance empire. RZD money is not enough.

Dmitry Zakharchenko began his career as an underground billionaire by serving in his position at the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation the interests of a group of bankers, including the owners of Industrial Credit Bank. (At that time, Dmitry Motorin, a companion of Usherovich and Markelov, held the position of deputy chairman of the board in it). Zakharchenko's task was to protect credit institutions from the interest of law enforcement and fiscal departments.

At the same time, all these banks "laundered" gigantic sums for structures that receive billions in contracts from Russian Railways. We are talking about dozens of companies that later became the 1520 Group of Companies. The owners of this structure were Andrei Krapivin, adviser to the head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin (after his death, his son Alexei became the director), Valery Markelov and Boris Usherovich. Later, bankers, including Dmitry Motorin, actually became one with 1520. And the functions of Zakharchenko have expanded significantly. From now on, he began to monitor security and protected not only banks, but also structures included in "1520" from law enforcement officers and tax authorities.

It is clear that the functions of the "roof" for this entire business, based on the theft of billions of rubles received from Russian Railways, were performed not only by Zakharchenko, there were other "siloviki".

With the active assistance of the management of the Russian Railways of the times of Yakunin, "1520" acquired the service enterprises of the railways, suppliers of products that simply could not be removed from the "chain" of the normal functioning of the Russian Railways. And the number of such enterprises "1520" was constantly growing, and with them the amount of contracts was growing. Moreover, these were such amounts that annually allowed tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of rubles to be transferred into pockets. It was Colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko who covered the embezzlement through the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

In the fall of 2018, all the co-owners of 1520 fled from Russia, except for Markelov and Krapivin. Markelov was arrested as part of the case against ex-employee of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Dmitry Zakharchenko. As part of the same case, information about the theft of 300 billion rubles was checked. That is how much the founders of one of the main contractors of the state monopoly GK 1520 - Boris Usherovich, Valery Markelov, Alexei Krapivin and their business partners Dmitry Motorin and Ivan Stankevich borrowed from Russian Railways. All of them (except for Krapivin) are accused of giving in Zakharchenko for general patronage. Boris Usherovich even “shipped” about 15 billion rubles of Russian Railways funds to his friend of his youth and accomplice in the theft from an apartment. In 1988, Usherovich was sentenced by the Perovsky Court of Moscow to one year of probation for several thefts. His accomplice was Vitaly Makarevich. Now Makarevich is the founder of two companies - Setstroyenergo and KPSS - which received contracts for 15 billion rubles from Russian Railways



Rucriminal.info will tell you more about how events unfolded. In early October 2018, the co-owner of 1520 Valery Markelov was arrested for giving bribes to an employee of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Zakharchenko. Another co-owner, Boris Usherovich, managed to escape. He was put on the federal wanted list. The third co-owner, Aleksey Krapivin, did not have time to escape. He was at the time of Markelov's arrest in Sochi, and hid there. He was put on the so-called operational wanted list.

As a source told Rucriminal.info, being in an underground position in Sochi, Alexei Krapivin contacted Igor Rotenberg, whom he had previously known. I was looking for protection for myself and for my business. Igor discussed the topic with older family members. Consultations were held with the head of Russian Railways, Oleg Belozerov, who is considered a creature of the Rotenbergs. He said that he was ready to keep all contracts from 1520 worth tens of billions of rubles and increase this flow of money. As a result, Igor Rotenberg expressed his readiness to purchase a new asset. After that, Krapivin voluntarily appeared in the ICR, gave evidence and remained in the case only as a witness. Since November 2018, he has been known on the market as a consultant to Igor Rotenberg. And Igor Rotenberg himself, as the manager and not the official owner of 1520. It is with him that all issues are resolved.

There were also bonuses for Valery Markelov. Dmitry Zakharchenko testified in his favor. And the banker Vladimir Antonov refused to testify against Markelov. The main thing is that it took a very long time to resolve the issue of the arrest of Markelov's assets, and he managed to withdraw everything from the Russian Federation, with the exception of an apartment, a cottage and an old limousine. His proceeds for a share in 1520 also went abroad.

The property of the third co-owner Boris Usherovich was also decided to be arrested when he was almost gone in the Russian Federation. All managed to get out. With a noticeable delay, Usherovich was put on the international wanted list and arrested in absentia. Now he is trying to resolve issues with the case, since he has a lot of money. Only in London, controlled by him and other ex-co-owners of 1520, the fund manages $ 2 billion.

"Is the advisor to the head of Russian Railways satisfied with the murder?"

The bankers were eliminated one by one. The customers are known.





Telegram-Channel VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info found out why in the case of Aslan Gagiev (Dzhako), whose organized crime group committed dozens of contract killings, the customers themselves are absent. Some of these customers were called "right hand" and financier Dzhako Arkady Berkovich. At least those who "ordered" the murders of a number of bankers, committed by Gagiev's killers. These testimonies completely coincide with the testimonies given by the killers of Jaco, who, however, did not know the names of the "customers". But Berkovich knew. The testimony was fully confirmed in the course of the confrontations that had begun. And then all work on the testimony of Berkovich was abruptly stopped, and Berkovich himself, after spending 1.5 years in a pre-trial detention center on charges of murder, was released and enjoys life on Rublevka in exchange for further silence. After all this, a whole group of security officials became very rich people, and the customers named by Berkovich were able to “breathe out”.



From the part of Berkovich's testimony published today, it unambiguously follows that Andrei Krapivin, an assistant and “right hand” of Vladimir Yakunin, who was the head of Russian Railways, “ordered” the removal from Dzhako. His son Alexei now manages the largest Russian Railways contractor GK 1520 (created by Andrey Krapivin) in the interests of Igor Rotenberg. Berkovich also talks about Boris Usherovich. He is wanted in the "Zakharchenko case", but continues to be a co-owner of GK 1520. At the time mentioned in the testimony of Berkovich, Krapivin, Usherovich and their partner Valery Markelov were very close to Yakuninau, owned GK 1520 and a number of other companies mastering almost all contractual money of Russian Railways. It was about tens of billions of rubles. A significant part of this money was plundered and withdrawn from Russia. Before the withdrawal, the money was laundered through a whole group of banks. And then the owners of these banks quarreled.

A large sum of money from the mafia, Russian Railways, was suspended in Kredittrust Alexander Slesarev, intended to be withdrawn from Russia. Slesarev, in return, offered to give good loans, which should have been given to the bank. Everyone agreed, except for the shadow banker Sergei Karakovsky (Sergei Student, Ship). He wanted to get his share of the money directly from Slesarev.

The owner of the National Capital bank Dmitry Plytnik was involved in the re-registration of good loans. On this topic he sang with Slesarev and also organized the withdrawal of a large amount from Credittrust from Russia. Plytnik rewrote the loans to the National Capital, and then had to re-register them to the structures of Krapivin, Usherovich, Markelov. But he refused to do it. Then Slesarev, Krapivin, Usherovich, Markelov and the owner of the bank Kutuzovsky Oleg Novoselsky ordered Plytnik Jaco. The goal was to squeeze out the National Capital along with seven of its money. Dzhako's militants kidnapped Plytnik, tortured him for a long time, forced him to sign a lot of documents, and then killed him. It was not possible to get the National Capital, but the attackers learned access to the funds withdrawn from Russia. Later, they managed to get close to the money of the National Capital, the co-owner and head of the bank, Filipp Dyagterev, frightened to death, agreed to carry out any orders of Jaco and began to pump money out of the bank to the indicated accounts.

Karakovsky, as planned, began to demand his share from Slearev. Then he ordered his murder. On June 6, 2005, the ship along with the guards was shot at the exit from the village of Petrovo-Dalnee near Moscow. In July 2006, the collection of monuments of antique applied art by Sergei Karakovsky was donated to the State Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin's widow Sergei at his oral request.

Next came Slesarev's turn. Krapivin, Usherovich, Markelov were terribly angry with him, since Karakovsky was a member of their team and he “drew” and implemented all the schemes to withdraw money stolen from Russian Railways. Banker Vladimir Antonov replaced him in this field.

The order to eliminate Slesarev was entrusted to Jaco, and this was part of Gagiev's plans, since he also eliminated a person who could prevent him from gaining access to Credittrust's money withdrawn by Plytnik from Russia. As a result, in October 2005, Slesarev was shot by Jaco's militants along with his entire family. For this, Krapivin, Usherovich and Markelov paid $ 9 million.

And then, by order of Gagiev, Diagterev and Novoselsky were killed as unnecessary witnesses.

Rucriminal.info cites the testimony of Berkovia, where he describes in detail the interaction with "orders".

“Approximately in April-May 2006, at the next meeting about Aslan Gagiev, the latter insisted that I be taken and guarded by people who, according to him, were police officers. At first I refused any "protection", because I perfectly understood that these are not just guards and drivers in the literal sense of these words, and Gagiev Aslan wants his people to constantly monitor me and report all my movements and meetings to him personally. In the end, Aslan Gagiev insisted on his own, and I, since I was very afraid of him, had to agree with his decision.

From that moment, on the initiative of Aslan Gagiev, “guards” and “drivers” appeared, namely Yevgeny, Andrei, Viktor, Igor, who was called in the “Family” of Aslan Gagiev “Garik” and Alexander, who had the nickname “Stas”. Also, on the initiative of Aslan Gagiev, I was "guarded" and carried, in my opinion, by two or three men whose names I do not remember at the moment, if I remember, I am ready to additionally inform the investigation. The abovementioned Eugene, Andrey, Viktor, Igor ("Garik") and Alexander ("Stas"), in the future I will be able to describe and also identify, both personally and from a photograph.



These persons “guarded” me until the murder of A.Yu. Slesarev, which took place in October 2005, after which they disappeared somewhere. From which I concluded that they were somehow involved in the murder of A.Yu. Slesarev, at that time I already had information that this murder was committed by persons who were part of the criminal group of Gagiev Aslan, called the "Family". I knew this from O.A. Novoselsky.

In February 2005, between Slesarev A.Yu and Usherovich B.E. Markelov V.A., Krapivin A.V. a conflict situation arose due to the fact that Slesarev A.Yu. considered himself deceived by them for a large amount of money, presumably for 9 million US dollars, since Slesarev A.Yu., expressed his dissatisfaction with the actions of Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., Krapivin A.E. gave me the details of the bank account where he demanded that the latter transfer him money in the amount of US $ 9 million.

On the same day he handed over the specified bank account details to Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.V. and Krapivin A.V., when they were all sitting together in the same office of our office located at the address: Moscow, st. Staraya Basmannaya, 5.

Around the middle of 2005, the murder of Sergei "Student", who was a friend and companion of B.E. Usherovich, V.A.Markelov, took place. A. V. Krapivina As far as I know, Sergei "Student" is being shot in a car, somewhere in the Moscow region, where exactly, I do not know. Together with Sergei "Student", also in his car were two men who were the guards of V.A. Markelov. and employees of the private security company "Legion". One or both of the guards, according to my information, also suffered in the course of committing the indicated crime and received gunshot wounds to the legs. As far as I know and as far as I understood, Usherovich BE, Markelov VA, and Krapivin Az thought that the murder of Sergei "Student" was ordered by Slesarev A.Yu.

After the murder, Novoselsky OA was strongly agitated by this crime, constantly asked me about where Slesarev A.Yu. might live, and asked other information about the latter. I found out if I know the cell phone numbers that Slesarev uses. Everything I knew I told Novoselkoy.

About seven days passed and I, together with Novoselsky O.A. at his request, I went to the dacha to A.V. Krapivin, located in the area of​​the Istra reservoir of the Moscow region. Upon arrival at the place, on the territory of the specified country house ownership Novoselsky O.A. told Krapivin A.The. that their order for the murder of Slesarev A.Yu. completed. Krapivin shook hands with Novoselsky, saying that everything was fine. After that, OA Novoselsky and I returned to Moscow in my Toyota Land Cruiser, on the way back to Moscow from OA Novoselsky I learned that apart from Slesarev A.Yu. members of his family were also killed along with him.

I want to clarify, clarify and supplement, I know for sure that from the words of Novoselsky O.A., that Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., they listed O.A. Novoselsky himself. money in the amount equal to approximately 2 million US dollars. The money was transferred from the accounts of organizations controlled by B.E. Usherovich, V.A. Markelov, A.V. Krapivin. to the account of an offshore company registered abroad and controlled by O.A. Novoselsky About a week later, during one of the regular meetings that took place in one of the restaurants in Moscow, Gagiev Aslan told me that the murder of A.Yu. this is the work of his guys, who were under his control. At the same time Gagiev A.M. asked me: “Are you satisfied with A.V. Krapivin? and his companions by the carried out case? ”, referring to the murder of A.Yu.

It took some time, how much, I cannot explain, because I don’t remember exactly, and at the next meeting, Gagiev Aslan asked me to arrange a meeting with Usherovich B.Ye., Markelov V.A. and Krapivin A.The. I promised Aslan Gagiev that I would try to organize this meeting, however, I did not want to do this and did not do it, dissuading from Aslan Gagiev later, coming up with some reason. I do not organize this meeting in order to try, if possible, to break off relations with AM Gagiev. and moreover, I did not do it, because I thought that Gagiev Aslan would try to subjugate the business of B.E. Usherovich, V.A.Markelov. and Krapivin A.The. In such a situation, I could have created problems on the part of the latter, so when asking for a meeting, the latter would perceive me as a person who works for Aslan Gagiev's rivers.

After a while, I again had another meeting with Aslan Gagiev, which took place in one of the restaurants in Moscow. At this meeting, Aslan Gagiev again asked me to arrange a meeting with B.E. Usherovich, V.A. Markelov, A.V. Krapivin. I again promised him that I would try to arrange such a meeting, but again I did not fulfill everything for the same reasons. "

Secrets of the ex-head of Russian Railways in the testimony of a witness under state protection



On September 8, the Presnensky District Court of Moscow continued the consideration of the case of ordinary police colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko, who, as the investigation insists, provided patronage to the 1520 Group of Companies and received billions of rubles for this. The details of this meeting, as well as the testimony of a classified witness in the case, who is under state protection, are in the material of Rucriminal.info.

The meeting began almost 5 hours late. And the quality of the future verdict raises concerns if our justice is as effective in general as in such details as, for example, the delivery of the defendants to the trial (it was precisely because of problems with delivery that there was a delay).

All the participants in the court session were already so impatient that Zakharchenko from the cage was keenly interested in what the state prosecutor Milan Digaeva had prepared this time. He even invited her to sing, assuring the audience that the prosecutor's vocal abilities allow her to even participate in the Voice show on Channel One. However, Digaeva did not sing, and the prosecution did not present any "super-witnesses".

As the correspondent of Rucriminal.info reports, the former security guard of the banker Stankevich Aleksey Dolgushin was the first to speak. He immediately announced to the court that he did not know anyone. He was engaged in "cash collection" and was the chairman for 45 thousand rubles in some legal entities that belonged to Stankevich.

In response to such inconsistency, his earlier written testimony was read out. In them in great detail, with the indication of names, positions and addresses, it was told that the witness, on the instructions of his boss, transported millions of rubles and dollars across Moscow, as well as the daughter of Colonel Zakharchenko to the riding section. It even happened to repeatedly call into the GC "1520".

Judge Artyomov asked what was the reason for such a forgetfulness of the witness and whether anyone had written testimony in his place. Then Dolgushin confirmed that everything read by the prosecutor was true and was written from his words. However, after several questions from the defense, it turned out again that the witness did not know anyone, did not confirm written testimony, “but he heard about company 15 for the first time. He remembered only the godmother of the daughter of Zakharchenko, whom he saw once. The lawyers asked to describe her. “A beautiful woman with white hair,” Dolgushin said.

Then the very woman was invited to the courtroom. Judging by the story of the witness Alexandra Tuchkova, her career had developed successfully before. Zakharchenko was an acquaintance of her friend, Motorin interviewed her, she worked as a client manager for him, she provided accounting services to Belevtsov, and Stankevich invited her to work in Cyprus. But now she, like the previous witness, does not work, and she cannot recognize anyone in the correspondence with clients shown to her by the state prosecutor. “This correspondence is for 2013. What is it now? 21st ", - she clarified with Milana Digaeva.

Then the reading of the financial documentation attached to the case began. But everyone was already so tired that they did not pay much attention to her. The defendants sat down to read the book, and the rest watched with interest the escort dog that revived in the evening. This idyll was interrupted by Judge Artyomov, who proposed to continue the session on September 22.



While there was another two-week break in the meetings, it was time to get acquainted with the testimony of Pyotr Chuvilin, a well-known businessman in narrow circles of the capital on the landslide front of work, who told the investigation a lot, and then asked to take him under state protection in this regard, which was done. For this reason, the interrogation of Chuvilin in the Presnensky court took place behind closed doors. Rucriminal.info publishes one of the protocols of his interrogation, in which he describes the hierarchy established in the Russian Railways group and talks about the role of the former president of all Russian railways, Vladimir Yakunin.

Investigator's question: Explain what you know about the personalities of Gorbuntsov G.V., Markelov V.A., Usherovich B.E., Krapivin A.V., Krapivin A.A.?



Answer: With regard to these persons, I can clarify the following:



- Gorbuntsov German Valerievich: he met him in about 2004, under his control were the following banks: Inkredbank, Interprogressbank, Capital Trade Bank, ZATO-Bank, Baltika, Universal Bank of Moldova (on the territory of the Moldavian Republic). As I know from the words of G.V. Gorbuntsov, as well as Markelov and Usherovich, the Russian Railways group (that is, Krapivin, Usherovich, Markelov) were Gorbuntsov's strategic partners in all these banks either in official status (through shares in the authorized capital), or in as large clients, at the expense of funds placed on the settlement accounts of these banks belonging to the Russian Railways group. According to my personal feelings, Gorbuntsov G.V. did not take any active and constant participation in control over the work of his banks, but gave such control to the mercy of the following persons: S.V. Mendeleev. (he was the Chairman of the Board of Capital Trading banyu "), Yana Lvovna Lefler (she was the Chairman of the Board of" Inkredbank "), Oleg Leonidovich Vlasov (he was the Chairman of the Board of" Bank Baltika "), Marina (was the Chairman of the Board of" ZATO-Bank "). Vlasov O. L. actually answered to G.V. Gorbuntsov. for the reporting of both Baltika Bank and ZATO-Bank ", the rest of the persons were responsible each for their own bank. As far as I know, G.V. Gorbuntsov reporting on the current activities of the bank was provided both in paper form and via electronic communication channels, that is, G.V. Gorbuntsov. he was always aware of how much he had left in banks on correspondent accounts on one date or another. In addition to the official reporting on the activities of the banking group, G.V. Gorbuntsov also provided information on the "black" accounting of the back office, as far as Gorbuntsov G.V. provided by Stankevich and Stolyarova. The specified information about G.V. Gorbuntsov and persons connected with him I know both from himself, as well as from other persons with whom I have communicated in one way or another over the past 10 years. In April 2009 Gorbuntsov G.V. he called me, said that he had big problems and he had to leave, and that then, after solving the problems, he would return to Russia. After about a couple of months, when I flew to G.V. Gorbuntsov. for a meeting in Munich, I informed him that his banking group had serious problems, there was a big hole in the banks' budgets and there was nothing to settle with creditors, all the people from the management of banks and the back office (Lefler, Stankevich, Vlasov, Mendeleev and many others) came under the control of the Russian Railways group represented by Markelov and Usherovich. As a result, Gorbuntsov G.V. he returned to Russia again, for about a year he tried to solve his problems with creditors and partners, but nothing came of it, a very large number of his assets in the form of legal entities took this time to the Russian Railways group and to some other persons, more precisely Gorbuntsov G.V. he didn’t tell me. As I myself saw, G.V. Gorbuntsov. after his return to Russia, for some time he continued to come to his office in the bank, but he was not a manager, no one reported anything to him, and G.V. Gorbuntsov himself. I did not give any instructions to the employees of the banking group. Regarding the legal, which from Gorbuntsov G.The. passed under the control of the Russian Railways group, I can name the following: Flat and Co LLC, Raduga-1 LLC, Raduga-2 LLC, Azarovo Severnoye LLC, Azarovo Yuzhnoye LLC. In addition to legal entities, a large amount of collateral, which was previously owned by the banking group Gorbuntsov G.V., came under the control of the Russian Railways Group. The property, which came under the control of the Russian Railways group, included apartments in residential buildings on Vavilov Street in Moscow (in houses No. 6 and 7), cottages in the cottage settlements Rublevskie Prostory-1, Rublevskie Prostory-2, "Nikolino" and others.



- Valery Markelov: was a member of the Russian Railways Group, oversaw all commercial issues related to the conclusion, execution and closure of contracts with Russian Railways. Markelov was also responsible for interaction (including corruption) with law enforcement officers, which he needed to cover and ensure his activities to receive funds from Russian Railways. In addition to Markelov, the Russian Railways group included A.V. Krapivin. and Usherovich B.E., while Krapivin A.The. provided administrative resource in making significant decisions by the head of "Russian Railways" Yakunin V.I., with whom Krapivin A.V. there was some kind of special relationship, and Usherovich B.E. he was responsible for providing security coverage (if necessary) for the actions of the Russian Railways group, as well as for communication with some clearly criminal structures. One of Markelov's connections in law enforcement was D.V. Zakharchenko. After the death of Krapivin A.The. Markelov became the head of the Russian Railways group. To maintain relations with law enforcement officials, Markelov played football with them every Friday on a football field in the Rublevka area, not far from the Barvikha Luxury Village shopping center.



- Usherovich Boris Efimovich: I met him at the same time as Markelov. Usherovich B.E. was a member of the Russian Railways group, was responsible for interaction with criminals and for the security of some actions. As Usherovich boasted, his connections in the underworld were criminal authorities from various groups (Solntsevskaya, Luzhnetskiy). Interaction of B.E. Usherovich with thieves in law was fully reflected when Gorbuntsov G.V. in 2009 he left Russia, and literally the next week in the bank together with B.E. Usherovich. Representatives of the aforementioned criminal groups appeared and watched the inventory of GV Gorbuntsov's assets, which, in the opinion of the Russian Railways group, should have been transferred to them. In the ownership and actual use of Usherovich B.E. There is a large amount of expensive property (apartments, yachts, airplanes, land plots) both in Russia and abroad.



- Krapivin Andrey Viktorovich, was a member of the Russian Railways group, in my personal opinion - was the most important in this group in relation to Markelov and Usherovich. Have Krapivina A.V. there was a close relationship with the former president of "Russian Railways" Yakunin V.I., there were cases when he called Usherovich and Markelov together with Gorbuntsov G.V. to his office in the village of Usovo, Moscow region, G.V. Gorbuntsov on one of these visits he took me with him. I also saw Krapivin A.The. in restaurants, where he met with Gorbuntsov G.V., Markelov and Usherovich. From the manner of communication Krapivina A.V. with the others (Markelov, Usherovich, Gorbuntsov), it was clear that he perceives all these persons as his subordinates, to whom he can and has the right to issue instructions. It was during one of such meetings that A.V. Krapivin. I called V.I. Yakunin in our presence. and negotiated something, about which - I do not remember, since the beginning of a conversation with V.I. Yakunin. was with us, and then Krapivin A.The. left for further discussion in another room. Communication Krapivina A.V. and Yakunin V.I. for me was confirmed when I was present at the game at the stadium "Locomotive" in Moscow, in one of the boxes adjacent to the one where I was, just V. Yakunin was present. and Krapivin A.V., the latter constantly said something to V.I. Yakunin. with the air of a persuasive person or a person giving advice. Also, the connection between Yakunin V.I. and Krapivin A.The. B.E. Usherovich boasted many times. In my opinion, based on life experience, it would have been impossible for the Russian Railways Group to obtain such a significant number of contracts with Russian Railways without performing them in a proper manner and without being prosecuted. As Usherovich B.E. boasted, thanks to A.V. Krapivin. they (ie, the Russian Railways Group) have strong influence in all spheres of government.

- Krapivin Alexey Andreevich: while Krapivin A.V. was alive, his son, in my opinion, did not play any decisive role in the Russian Railways group. With A.A. Krapivin I talked repeatedly, but all the time - on some everyday surface topics, so I can't explain anything significant about his personality.
