As it became known to Kommersant, the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) continued to arrest the assets of former employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, accused in absentia of receiving a record bribe in the history of the police department in the amount of 5 billion rubles. Among the many real estate objects they found apartments in the residential complex "Scarlet Sails", which were imposed encumbrances by the court. The police acted as the "roof" of the administrator of the World Exchange Services Pte. Ltd. (WEX) crypto exchange Alexey Ivanov (Bilyuchenko), whose actions, as the court found, caused more than 18 billion rubles of damage to its clients.
Moscow courts, at the request of Alexander Kuznetsov, senior investigator for Particularly important cases of the Department for Investigation of Crimes against the Person and Public Security of the Main Investigative Department of the TFR (also involved in the investigation of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall), continued to seize the assets of alleged corrupt officials from the Bureau of Special Technical Measures (BSTM) Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. We are talking about the former head of the department for combating crimes in the credit and financial sphere committed using information technologies, Georgy Satyukov and his subordinate Dmitry Sokolov. In October last year, investigator Kuznetsov charged them in absentia with taking large-scale bribes and mediating them (Articles 290 and 291.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), initiating first a federal and then an international search for the defendants, presumably hiding abroad.
According to investigators, at first the administrator of the WEX crypto exchange, Alexey Ivanov, was actively taken care of by FSB officers (a check in their attitude did not lead to the initiation of a criminal case), and from March 2019 to October 2021-by employees of the BSTM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to whom he transferred at least 2119,5265569864 crypto wallets for "illegal actions (inaction) and general patronage". MTC, which, according to the estimates of the participants of the investigation, at that time was equivalent to the amount of at least 4.9 billion rubles. (currently 10.5 billion rubles).
The alleged bribe takers converted part of the received cryptocurrency into dollars, euros and rubles, placing them in dozens of accounts in various banks, and also invested in securities. Then they started buying up real estate with them.
According to some reports, Mr. Sokolov became the owner of apartments in the tallest building in Dubai — the Burj Khalifa Tower.
The fugitives also found real estate in Moscow. As Kommersant has already reported, their apartment in the Nezhinsky Kovcheg residential complex was arrested. And recently, the same fate befell almost two-hundred-meter apartments in the complex "Scarlet Sails" on Aviatsionnaya Street, which have a cadastral value of more than 50 million rubles.
Interestingly, the police bought real estate and opened accounts mainly for their girlfriends and cohabitants, perhaps taking an example from the infamous colonel of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Dmitry Zakharchenko (the record for bribes set by BSTM employees was broken almost three times), serving a 16-year sentence.
The investigation found out about shadow payments from the administrator Ivanov, who was caught embezzling cryptocurrencies (Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Having concluded a pre-trial cooperation agreement with the Prosecutor General's Office, he told when, for what and how much he "rolled back" to the security forces. For embezzlement in the total amount of 3,167,433,649 rubles. 36 kopecks. The Meshchansky court of Moscow in a special order appointed him three years and six months in a general regime colony, a fine of 500 thousand rubles. and restriction of freedom for a period of one year after serving time. In turn, representatives of WEX filed a lawsuit against the administrator, who collected from him, taking into account the exchange rate difference, damage in the amount of 18 billion rubles. At the same time, 3 billion rubles. the person involved in the exchange reimbursed voluntarily. Now he is appealing the court decision.
