How Governor Artamonov covers up a runaway vice-governor

“Friendship between the head of the region and the head of the regional court has moved to a new level”

In August, the Sovetsky District Court of Lipetsk for the third time refused the regional department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to detain former vice-governor Ilya Tuzov in absentia. He is accused of abuse of office with causing grave consequences - Part 3 of Art. 285 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

As a source told Rucriminal.info, Ilya Tuzov is the son of a friend of the head of the Lipetsk region, Igor Artamonov. In 2019, the young man became the curator of roads, transport, housing and communal services and construction with the rank of vice-governor. In 2020, the FSB carried out arrests in departments under its control. Soon he fled from the investigation abroad. From that moment on the international wanted list.

It is noteworthy that on May 31, the Soviet Court of Lipetsk showed humanity to Tuzov's accomplice. The ex-head of the road and transport department, Valentin Malakhov, was fined 80 thousand rubles, having been found guilty of abuse of power. The prosecution insisted on three years in prison. According to the prosecutor's office, the FSB and the TFR, it was Malakhov, at the direction of Vice Governor Tuzov, who instructed his subordinates to create preferential conditions for concluding a 300 million contract with the Ruslan-1 company, which by that time monopolized road repairs in the Lipetsk region. Earlier, the FAS found signs of cartel collusion in the actions of officials. Antimonopoly in 2022 proved this in the arbitration courts of the capital.

In early August 2023, the court fined Konstantin Morgachev 150 thousand rubles. He was the head of the Dolgorukovsky district of the Lipetsk region. Lost post at the request of the Sledkom. The official was accused of buying apartments for orphans at an inflated cost. They also turned out to be uninhabitable.

Instead of a real term - a fine.

Why are the courts so reverent towards the officials of Igor Artamonov? The secret is in the relationship between the governor and the chairman of the Lipetsk Regional Court. They are compatriots-Stavropol. Now the friendship of Igor Artamonov and Alexander Kartashov has moved to a new level. In March 2023, the OBU "Operational and Technical Center for Management of Affairs of the Government of the Lipetsk Region" bought a 3-room apartment with an area of 104.1 sq m in the new residential complex "Park" for 15 million rubles. The elite house is located a few meters from Bykhanov Sad park in the center of Lipetsk.



The chairman of the regional court received the apartment. Kartashov understood that there was a conflict of interest. And since 2021, after being appointed to Lipetsk, he rented office housing. But now he couldn't resist. And he moved to a chic residential complex "Park".

Valery Kotlyarov, head of the Federal Tax Service for the Lipetsk region, and Irina Potkina, head of the OFAS, live in the apartments of the regional government. Housing on Frunze Street was also provided to the investigator of the Investigative Committee of the RF Investigative Committee for the Lipetsk Region, Dmitry Grandovsky. He led a case against an inadequate blogger from Yelets. Togo was sentenced to 640 hours of compulsory work for swearing in social networks against the governor, the mayors of Yelets and Lipetsk. And the officer was given an apartment in the center of Lipetsk in gratitude.

Federal and regional officials pay 100 rubles a month for renting such housing. In total, the Lipetsk region owns 18 housing facilities for the so-called. commercial use. Many of them, in violation of Russian laws, are provided for use by law enforcement and regulatory authorities. Those, it seems, are obliged to exercise their powers regardless of the local authorities. But in fact, the dependence is obvious.

In 2022, for 40 million from the regional budget, they bought a house for the head of the region. Previously, they rented a house on Granitnaya Street for Artamonov, who is in the TOP-5 of the richest governors. The manager paid monthly 115,000 for the rent of 305 sq. m. They did not spare money for Ilya Tuzov either. 115 thousand per month for a house of 277 sq. m.

But Alexander Ryabchenko, the first deputy governor, settled best of all. He supervises the manager of the Government of the region. And lived for free. But later he signed a contract of employment for 100 rubles. At the same time, they rent an apartment for him in a neighboring house. For example, in 2021, the property management, citizen Konovalova, transferred 65,000 rubles a month to the property owner.

Как губернатор Артамонов покрывает беглого вице-губернатора

«Дружба главы региона и главы облсуда перешла на новый уровень»

В августе Советский райсуд Липецка в третий раз отказал региональному управлению Следственного комитета РФ в заочном заключении под стражу бывшего вице-губернатора Ильи Тузова. Его обвиняют в злоупотреблении должностными полномочиями с причинением тяжких последствий - ч. 3 ст. 285 УК РФ.

Как рассказал источник Rucriminal.info, Илья Тузов - сын друга главы Липецкой области Игоря Артамонова. В 2019 году молодой человек стал куратором дорог, транспорта, ЖКХ и строительства в ранге вице-губернатора. В 2020 году ФСБ провело аресты в подконтрольных ему ведомствах. Вскоре он бежал от следствия за границу. С того момента в международном розыске.

Примечательно, что 31 мая Советский суд Липецка проявил гуманность к подельнику Тузова. Экс-главе управления дорог и транспорта Валентину Малахову назначили штраф в 80 тыс. руб, признав виновным в злоупотреблении полномочиями. Обвинение настаивало на трех годах заключения. По мнению прокуратуры, ФСБ и СКР именно Малахов по указанию вице-губернатора Тузова дал поручение подчиненным создать преимущественные условия для заключения 300-миллионного договора с фирмой «Руслан-1», которая к тому моменту монополизировала ремонт дорог в Липецкой области. Ранее ФАС нашло в действиях чиновников признаки картельного сговора. Антимонопольщики в 2022 году доказали это в арбитражных судах столицы.

В начале августа 2023 года суд оштрафовал на 150 тысяч рублей Константина Моргачева. Он был главой Долгоруковского района Липецкой области. Потерял пост по требованию Следкома. Чиновника обвиняли в покупке по завышенной стоимости квартир для детей-сирот. Они оказались ещё и непригодным для проживания.

Вместо реального срока - штраф.

Почему суды так трепетны к чиновникам Игоря Артамонова? Секрет в отношениях губернатора и председателя Липецкого облсуда. Они земляки-ставропольцы. Сейчас дружба Игоря Артамонова и Александра Карташова перешла на новый уровень. В марте 2023 года ОБУ "Эксплуатационно-технический центр управления делами Правительства Липецкой области" купило за 15 млн руб в госсобственность 3-комнатную квартиру площадью 104,1 кв м в новом ЖК "Парк". Элитный дом находится в нескольких метрах от парка Быханов сад в центре Липецка.



Александр Карташов




Квартиру получил председатель облсуда. Карташов понимал, что есть конфликт интересов. И с 2021 года, после назначения в Липецк, снимал служебное жилье. Но сейчас не сдержался. И переехал в шикарный ЖК "Парк".

В квартирах облправительства живут руководитель УФНС по Липецкой области Валерий Котляров и глава УФАС Ирина Поткина. Жилье на улице Фрунзе предоставили и следователю СУ СК РФ по Липецкой области Дмитрию Грандовскому. Он вёл дело против неадекватного блогера из Ельца. Того за матюки в соцсетях в адрес губернатора, мэров Ельца и Липецка приговорили к 640 часам обязательных работ. А офицеру в благодарность дали квартиру в центре Липецка.

За наем такого жилья федеральные и областные чиновники платят ежемесячно 100 рублей. Всего в собственности Липецкой области 18 объектов жилого фонда для т.н. коммерческого использования. Многие из них в нарушение российских законов предоставлены в пользование сотрудникам правоохранительных и контрольно-надзорных органов. Те, вроде бы, обязаны независимо от местных властей реализовывать свои полномочия. Но на деле зависимость очевидна.

В 2022 году за 40 млн из облбюджета купили дом для главы области. Ранее арендовали для Артамонова, входящего в ТОП-5 самых богатых губернаторов, дом на улице Гранитной. Управделами платило ежемесячно 115 000 за аренду 305 кв м. Не жалели денег и для Ильи Тузова. 115 тыс в месяц за дом 277 кв м.

Но лучше всех устроился первый замгубернатора Александр Рябченко. Он курирует управделами Правительства области. И жил безвозмездно. Но позже заключил договор найма за 100 рублей. При этом для него же снимают квартиру в соседнем доме. Например, в 2021 году собственнику жилья, гражданке Коноваловой, управление делами перечисяло 65 тысяч в месяц.

Deputy head of the FSB of Moscow, wife-judge and 150 million rubles

"The Arbitration Court of the City of Moscow was misled"



As it became known to Rucriminal.info, a huge scandal erupted in the law enforcement block of the city of Moscow, the instigator of which is Anatoly Korniychuk, a businessman of a small hand, previously convicted for possession of drugs, and now introducing himself to everyone as a "FSB colonel".



According to the source, Korniychuk is known for boasting to all his acquaintances of a very close relationship with Sergei Natarov, who is the deputy head of the FSB for the city of Moscow and the Moscow region.

Natarov oversees the management of the Moscow direction. Andrey Kartsev is in charge of the regional administration.

Anatoly Korniychuk made the necessary acquaintances and became one of the founders of the large construction company AltStroy.

AltStroy has a large income, which Korniychuk had to share with his business partners. However, you cannot deceive genetics and Anatoly decided to simply “throw” his partners, taking the business for himself.

The partners, like ordinary normal people, did not like this situation, and therefore they decided in the legal field to return what they were entitled to and applied to the Moscow Arbitration Court, where they successfully won the process.

But Anatoly did not give up and turned to his friend, Sergei Natarov, with a request that he help and achieve the initiation of a criminal case against Korniychuk's former colleagues. Of course, not just like that. For such a request, Natarov demanded 150 million rubles for initiating a criminal case and charging the defendants.

Korniychuk agreed. Natarov went straight to his namesake - Sergei Yarosh, who recently received a general and is the deputy head of the GSU SK in Moscow.

Yarosh sent Korniychuk to the SAO investigative department, which registered the material of the check, opened a criminal case and brought Korniychuk's former associates to criminal liability on absolutely far-fetched grounds. Given that the territorial jurisdiction is absolutely not the Northern District.



Yarosh has been subordinate to Natarov since the time when Natarov was the head of the “M” department and helped Yarosh several times so that he would not be taken away in the Drymanov case.

Everything would be fine, but the Central Office of the Investigative Committee, which had long abstracted from the requests and wishes of the FSB of Russia, became interested in this case, so they were very interested in this case, since it could turn out to be a very high-profile case against the leaders of Moscow.

It is worth noting that Korniychuk was given a clear understanding: the case is based on far-fetched grounds, but we are ready to send him to court and condemn them - carry the same amount. Anatoly Korniychuk boasted to his entire entourage, thanks to whom his former colleagues were closed and how much he paid for it.

However, the misunderstanding that has arisen between Strizhov and Yarosh, Dorofeev and Natarov, Popov and the prosecutor of the SAO Popkov, is growing.

By the way, in the decision to initiate a criminal case, investigator Abdulkhaerov just points out that "the Arbitration Court of the city of Moscow was misled." Personally, this phrase was asked to be inserted into the resolution by Sergei Natarov. After all, his wife, Yulia Zhdanova, is one of the judges of the said court and does not mislead insultingly for her husband.

Замначальника УФСБ Москвы, жена-судья и 150 млн рублей

«Арбитражный суд города Москвы был введен в заблуждение»



Как стало известно Rucriminal.info, в правоохранительном блоке города Москвы разразился огромный скандал, зачинщиком которого является ранее судимый за хранение наркотиков, а ныне представляющийся всем «полковником ФСБ», коммерсант малой руки Анатолий Корнийчук.



По словам источника, Корнийчук известен тем, что всем своим знакомым хвастается очень тесными взаимоотношениями с Сергеем Натаровым, который является заместителем начальника УФСБ по городу Москве и Московской области.

Натаров курирует в управлении Московское направление. Областным же управлением занимается Андрей Карцев.

Анатолий Корнийчук завел нужные знакомства и стал одним из учредителей крупой строительной компании «АльтСтрой».

«АльтСтрой» имеет большой доход, который Корнийчуку приходилось делить со своими бизнес-партнерами. Однако, генетику не обманешь и Анатолий решил попросту «кинуть» своих компаньонов, забрав бизнес себе.

Компаньонам, как и обычным нормальным людям, такой расклад не понравился, в связи с чем они в правовом поле решили вернуть то, что им положено и обратились в Арбитражный суд города Москвы, где успешно выиграли процесс.

Но Анатолий не сдался и обратился к своему товарищу-Сергею Натарову, с просьбой о том, чтобы он помог и добился возбуждения уголовного дела в отношении бывших коллег Корнийчука. Конечно же, не просто так. За такую просьбу Натаров потребовал 150 миллионов рублей за возбуждение уголовного дела и предъявление обвинения фигурантам.

Корнийчук согласился. Натаров направился прямиком к своему тезке - Сергею Ярошу, который недавно получил генерала и является заместителем руководителя ГСУ СК по Москве.

Ярош направил Корнийчука в следственное управление по САО, которые зарегистрировали материал проверки, возбудили уголовное дело и привлекли бывших компаньонов Корнийчука к уголовной ответственности по абсолютно надуманным основаниям. Учитывая, что территориальная подследственность абсолютно не Северного округа.

Ярош подчиняется Натарову еще с тех времен, когда Натаров был начальником управления «М» и несколько раз помогал Ярошу с тем, чтобы его не забрали по делу Дрыманова.

Все бы ничего, но данным делом заинтересовался Центральный аппарат Следственного комитета, который уже давно абстрагировался от запросов и хотелок ФСБ России, поэтому указанное дело их очень заинтересовало, поскольку может получиться очень громкое дело в отношении руководителей Москвы.

Стоит отметить, что Корнийчуку дали ясно понять: дело по надуманным основаниям, но мы готовы его направить в суд и осудить их - неси столько же. Анатолий Корнийчук всему своему окружению похвастался, благодаря кому закрыли его бывших коллег и сколько он за это отдал.

Однако недопонимание, возникшее между Стрижовым и Ярошем, Дорофеевым и Натаровым, Поповым и прокурором САО Попковым, растет

Кстати, в постановлении о возбуждении уголовного дела, следователь Абдулхаеров как раз и указывает, что «Арбитражный суд города Москвы был введен в заблуждение». Лично это фразу попросил вставить в постановление Сергей Натаров. Ведь его супруга - Юлия Жданова, является одной из судей указанного суда и не вводить в заблуждение оскорбительно для супруга.

How Chemezov Airlines avoided the dues for the purchase of the Sukhoi Superjet

“From a relative of Yuri Slyusar, I was aware of the technical “capabilities” of the aircraft”




Russian channels rejoice with stories about the "new" civilian short-haul aircraft Sukhoi Superjet SJ 100, which was put into serial operation in 2011. The "new" Superjet is allegedly different from its predecessors with domestic engines, avionics and other equipment.

According to various sources, since 2011, more than 200 aircraft have been produced at an average price of 35 million dollars per copy, of which more than 75 percent go to foreign countries. Here Rucriminal.info will remind you how this project appeared for the domestic sky. Twenty years ago, in 2003, a paper sketch of the Superjet unexpectedly won the Rosavikosmos tender against the Tu 414, which was already ready for production, the drawings of which were transferred to the aviation plant in Kazan for the start of mass production. The not yet created aircraft took up over the ready-made Tu with a strange wording - "because of better export prospects and the availability of extra-budgetary funding." Then the main current lobbyists for the new Superjet, in addition to the head of the design bureau, Sukhoi Ponosyan, were the head of Rosaviakosmos, Yuri Koptev, and the deputy chairman of the Russian government, Boris Aleshin, who oversaw the aircraft industry. It was these two figures that doomed the Russian Federation to a long-term quitrent of the treasury in favor of supporting foreign manufacturers and the Aleshin clan's own pocket - Koptev. For 414 Tu, it was necessary to allocate about 4 billion rubles and put it into production, and since 2004 it would be able to carry the first passengers and would cost about $ 20 million per copy against 34 for Suererzhdet, by the way, the direct competitor of the SJ 100, the Brazilian Embraer E - Jet costs from 20 to 30 million dollars apiece, depending on the configuration, i.e., much cheaper than the "promising" Superjet for export. Off-budget funding turned out to be the opposite of billions from the state treasury - about 200 billion rubles Russia spent on a new project, billions left and settled in the pockets of the Aleshin-Koptev clan, instead of investing 4 billion in an already finished aircraft. All this was accompanied by serious aviation accidents in the preparation of the Superjet for the series - several air crashes that claimed human lives. As a result, the mountain gave birth to a mouse, in 11 the aircraft, raw and not ready for operation in Russia, went into production. Domestic airlines forced and force to buy it, for many years the Superjet has shown itself to be an extremely unreliable airliner, attempts to sell and operate it abroad have failed. In Russia, only one domestic airline was able to avoid the oblige to purchase a Superjet by opting for the Brazilian Embraer - this is S7 (Siberia), whose shadow owner is Sergey Chemezov and who, thanks to his protege and close relative Yuri Slyusar, is well aware of the technical capabilities of the Superjet.

It was Yury Slyusar, the general director of the UAC, who today received a report on the flight of the “new” airliner, in his eyes one could read the envy of the Koptev and Aleshin clans, what a walrus they were able to raise from each Superjet (from 5 to 10 million dollars) not counting the years of its development. They, St. Petersburg, Chemezovsky and Petrozavodsk, can only dream of such successes. The novelty of the liner also lies in the fact that it will finally meet the terms of reference and the needs of airlines, the parameters that were set 20 years ago. Design bureaus, production facilities were killed, invaluable personnel were lost, but we have a “new” aircraft, for which taxpayers pay not only with the ruble, but also with their lives. And the clan of Koptev and Alyoshin continue to withdraw billions of dollars abroad.

Как авиакомпания Чемезова избежала оброка по покупку Сухой Суперджет

«От родственника Юрия Слюсаря осведомлен о технических «возможностях» самолета»



Российские каналы ликуют сюжетами о «новом» гражданском ближнемагистральном самолете Сухой Суперджет SJ 100, который запущен в серийную эксплуатацию в 2011 году. «Новый» Суперджет якобы отличен от своих предшественников отечественными двигателями , авионикой и еще другим оборудованием.



Сергей Чемезов




По разным данным с 2011 года было произведено свыше 200 самолетов по средней цене за 1 экземпляр 35 миллионов долларов, из которых больше 75 процентов уходят в зарубежные страны. Здесь Rucriminal.info напомнит, как появлялся этот проект для отечественного неба. Двадцать лет назад в 2003 году бумажный эскиз Суперджета неожиданно выигрывает тендер Росавивакосмоса у уже готового к производству Ту 414, чертежи которого были переданы на авиационный завод в Казани для начала серийного производства. Еще не созданный самолет взял вверх над готовым Ту со странной формулировкой - «по причине лучших экспортных перспектив и наличия внебюджетного финансирования». Тогда главными действующими лоббистами нового Суперджета помимо руководителя КБ Сухого Поносяна выступили руководитель Росавиакосмоса Юрий Коптев и зампред правительства России Борис Алешин, который курировал авиастроение. Именно эти две фигуры обрекли РФ на многолетний оброк казны в пользу поддержки зарубежных производителей и собственного кармана клана Алешин - Коптев. На 414 Ту нужно было выделить порядка 4 млрд рублей и запускать в производство и уже с 2004 года он смог бы возить первых пассажиров и стоил бы порядка 20 миллионов долларов за экземпляр против 34 за Суерерждет, кстати прямой конкурент SJ 100, бразильский Embraer E - Jet стоит от 20 до 30 миллионов долларов за штуку в зависимости от комплектации , т. е. намного дешевле «перспективного» для экспорта Суперджета. Внебюджетное финансирование обернулась напротив миллиардами из государственной казны - порядка 200 миллиардов рублей Россия угрохала на новый проект, миллиарды уходили и оседали в карманах клана Алешина -Коптева, вместо того чтобы вложить 4 млрд в уже готовый самолет. Все это сопровождалось серьезными авиационными происшествиями при подготовке Суперджета к серии - несколько авиакатастроф, которые унесли людские жизни. В итоге гора родила мышь, в 11 году сырой и не готовый к эксплуатации в России самолет пошел в серию. Отечественные авиакомпании заставляли и заставляют покупать его , многие годы Суперджет показывает себя крайне ненадежным авиалайнером, попытки продавать и эксплуатировать его за рубежом обернулись крахом. В России только одна отечественная авиакомпания смогла избежать оброка на покупку Суперджета сделав выбор в пользу бразильского Embraer - это S7 (Сибирь) теневым владельцем которой является Сергей Чемезов и который благодаря своему ставленнику и близкому родственнику Юрию Слюсарю хорошо осведомлен о технических возможностях Суперджета.

Именно Юрий Слюсарь - гендиректор ОАК сегодня принимал доклад по поводу полета «нового» лайнера, в глазах его читалась зависть клану Коптева и Алешина, какую моржу они смогли поднимать с каждого Суперджета (от 5 до 10 млн долларов) не считая годов его разработки. Им, питерским, Чемезовским и петрозаводским о таких успехах можно только мечтать. Новизна лайнера еще и в том, что он наконец-то будет соответствовать техническому заданию и потребностям авиакомпаний, параметрам которые были выставлены еще 20 лет назад. Убиты КБ , производственные мощности, потеряны бесценные кадры, зато у нас «новый» самолет, за который платят налогоплательщики не только рублем но и своими жизнями. А клан Коптева и Алешина продолжают выводить за рубеж миллиарды долларов.

“The Guryevs threatened me and my children with murder”

How PhosAgro gave 20% to Putin's "teacher"

The wife of Putin's supervisor took the place of Elena Baturina in the list of the richest women in Russia

The wife of the rector of St. Petersburg Mining University, Tatyana Litvinenko, took second place in the ranking of the 20 richest women in Russia according to Forbes magazine. The publication estimated her fortune at $ 2.8 billion, placing her in second place on the list.

The source of her wealth is a 20.6% stake in the mineral fertilizer producer PhosAgro, transferred by her husband Vladimir Litvinenko in May 2022. In May of this year, Litvinenko, who retained a 0.39% stake in Phosagro, came under US sanctions.

Igor Sychev worked for PhosAgro for many years, against whose shareholders he filed financial claims. Their amount has exceeded the $100 million threshold, and the case is now pending in the Supreme Court of England and Wales. Igor Sychev describes his confrontation in this way.

“The defendants in case CL-2016-000831 are Russian oligarchs who own one of the largest Russian companies PhosAgro (listed on the London Stock Exchange) and one of whom (Mr Guryev) is known as the owner of the most luxurious real estate in the world. England (£300 million Witanhurst Palace, second only to Buckingham Palace, and a four-story penthouse in London's tallest skyscraper discovered by investigative reporters).

Mr. Guryev and his son, who headed PhosAgro, were on US, UK, EU, Australian and other sanctions lists after the Putin regime unleashed a mad war in Ukraine. The US authorities, for example, justified these sanctions as follows:

« A.G. Guryev is a well-known close associate of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, who previously worked in the Government of the Russian Federation; he was appointed to the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in 2001, where he worked until 2013. A.G. Guryev owns the Witanhurst estate, which is the second largest estate in London after Buckingham Palace.



The filing of the lawsuit was preceded by the criminal actions of these oligarchs (the criminality of their actions is confirmed by the opinions of a number of lawyers), as a result of which I essentially turned out to be a beggar. At the same time, I didn’t do anything bad to them, but on the contrary, I brought them a profit of about $ 1 billion. However, after I fulfilled my obligations, they changed their minds about fulfilling their obligations, moreover, with the help of fraudulent actions, they created my artificial debt to them. That is, instead of receiving remuneration for my work, I myself became a debtor to these oligarchs under fraudulent loan agreements drawn up secretly from me and subject to English law. At the same time, these oligarchs:



Repeatedly threatened me and my children with murder, demanding to drop the lawsuit, in connection with which a criminal case was recently initiated in Europe.

In Russia, a criminal case was fabricated against me, with the help of which they demanded that I give up my claims. In Russia, I was arrested in absentia, but I managed to leave Russia. Interpol, at my request, stopped my international search, and the European authorities (Latvia) granted me refugee status due to persecution by Russian oligarchs close to Putin.

Valery Stepanov, a 70-year-old former lawyer widely known in Russia, gave an eloquent description of the fabricated criminal case against me in his testimony for an English court:

Based on my many years of experience, I can say that I have never seen a more strange and absurd criminal case and have never heard of anything like it. In terms of the number and quality of elementary violations, this criminal case has no analogues. I am convinced that this criminal case was completely fabricated and initiated not with the aim of investigating something, but with the aim of using it as an instrument of a crime committed against Sychev, that is, to be an instrument of illegal pressure on Sychev. in conflict with PhosAgro.

Shortly after this testimony was given to the defendants, Mr. Stepanov died in Russia under very strange circumstances, about which the defendants did not hide their joy. Shortly before his death, Valery Stepanov told me that they tried to hack his WhatsApp account, which he connected with his participation as a witness in my case.



Here are some more eloquent quotes from the testimony of this witness:



“Sychev called me and asked me to come to his house to participate as his lawyer during the search. I arrived about two hours later, during which the search took place in the absence of a lawyer. About 10 people took part in the search, there was also a cynologist with a dog. The attesting witnesses were two people whom Sychev knew as members of the PhosAgro security service. Investigator Gall A.E. at the same time assured us that this was a completely coincidental coincidence, which, of course, is impossible to believe in.

“Later it became known to me that just at that time there were negotiations with Sychev, initiated by the intermediary KonDratiev, who, according to him, acted on behalf of Antoshin [the former CEO of PhosAfro and one of the defendants]. The requirements for Sychev, voiced by Kondratiev, were that the amount of obligations to him would decrease several times and that Sychev would have to pay $4 million. For this, Sychev was promised the termination of the criminal case against him, as well as the non-claims for the return of $ 5 million transferred under loan agreements. Sychev recorded his conversations with Kondratiev on a dictaphone. I listened to them and can confirm that this is nothing but extortion committed against Sychev in order to significantly reduce the amount of obligations to him. and extorting a $4 million bribe. In addition, threats of physical liquidation were made against Sychev. It was against the backdrop of these negotiations, which lasted several weeks, that Sychev's indictment was repeatedly postponed.

“After that, lawyer Lashevich [PhosAgro lawyer] contacted lawyer Dergachev [my second Russian lawyer] twice. He offered to stop the criminal prosecution of Sychev on the condition that he renounce all claims against PhosAgro and Antoshin. At the same time, it was proposed to formalize the termination of criminal prosecution through the recognition of Sychev as insane. Both meetings are described by lawyer Dergachev in emails dated 08/20/16 and 02/03/21. A similar demand was “sent” to Sychev through Kirill Trukhanov [another PhosAgro lawyer]. At the same time, this requirement was voiced by him in England to Sychev's lawyer Katerina Haslam-Jones. I know that at the same time, Mr. Trukhanov, commenting on Sychev's claim in England, said that PhosAgro's financial capabilities are not comparable with Sychev's financial capabilities and that his claim will be "crushed" for this reason.

Sychev, around 2018, introduced me to an audio recording of his telephone conversation with Mr. Lushkin [a person affiliated with PhosAgro], during which the latter actually repeatedly threatened Sychev with murder in Latvia if Sychev did not drop his claim in England. I confirm that these are precisely the death threats and that the demand, repeatedly voiced by Mr. Lushkin, amounts to a demand to drop the claim in England.”

EXPRESSION EPISODE 1



(Murder threats against me and even my children in 2018 demanding that the lawsuit be dropped)



The lawsuit was filed back in 2016, but the defendants avoided receiving notices of the lawsuit for several years. During this period of time, I regularly received death threats from them, accompanied by demands to drop the claim. These threats were addressed not only to me, but even to my minor children. Some quotes (from audio recordings):



"I want your children to be alive and well."

“You don’t understand that you can be killed today or tomorrow, Igor?! Moreover, everyone knows that you are in Riga, everyone knows! »

“Stop the lawsuit, you will save your life, understand?! »

"Give up the claim! You will lose your wife and children! »

An incomplete list of such threats includes 37 (!!!) positions. In addition to these direct threats, accompanied by outright demands to drop the suit, I receive veiled threats such as emails from fake addresses offering to book my funeral in advance with the promise of a £500 discount.

In Latvia, where I have been living as a refugee since 2016, a criminal investigation into these death threats was opened in October 2022.

However, the investigation is clearly hampered by the complete clarity of the picture, and so far no one has been brought to criminal responsibility. In addition, without explanation, my demands are ignored to reclassify part of the death threats from just death threats (this crime is insignificant) to extortion under threat of murder, the criminal liability for which reaches 12 years in prison with confiscation of property. Therefore, I had to send a statement to the Prosecutor General of Latvia, Mr. Juris Stukans, and I am waiting for his decision.

The lower prosecutor motivated the refusal to reclassify threats of murder as extortion by the fact that property claims and threats were allegedly not persistent enough.

In paragraph 4 of my statement to the Latvian Prosecutor General’s Office regarding one of several cases of explicit extortion, I quoted the verbatim content of 8 (!!!) fragments during a 21-minute conversation with a representative of the oligarchs containing monstrous threats and at the same time demands to drop the claim. This verbatim description is based on the audio recording available here.

In paragraph 5, I summarized: “I am absolutely sure that when during a 21-minute conversation 8 (!!!) monstrous death threats are heard (not only against me, but even against my wife and children), accompanied by Property claims no one can doubt whether these threats and demands can be considered persistent. They are extremely and overly persistent! »
