On Saturday, the Spanish police conducted a search at the villa at the villa of the chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market, a member of the Presidium of the General Council of the United Russia Party, Vladislav Reznik. According to El Pais , law enforcement officers seized documents, a mobile phone, a computer, as well as art items.

The order for the search was issued by the investigator of the National Judicial Chamber of Spain Balthasar Garzon, who is investigating several major cases about the activities of the Russian Mafia in Spain. Therefore, local journalists connected the new investigative actions with the case of the Malyshevsky group (in Spain is called Tambovsko-Malyshevskaya), in which on June 13 during the Troika operation in the resort cities of Malag, Marbella and Nerch, as well as Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, 20 people were arrested, most of which are Russians.

It was also included in the leadership of some other large insurance companies. In 1995, he was appointed chairman of the board of the State Insurance Company "Rosgosstrakh". In February 1998, after the conflict around the privatization of Rosgosstrakh (according to the scheme developed by him), he was relieved of his post by order of the government. In 1999, he was elected to the State Duma according to the list of Bear Bloc. In 2001, at the Constituent Congress of the United Russia All -Russian Party, he was elected a member of its General Council, leads the work on interaction with business, and the development of the party’s economic strategy. Was the deputy chairman of the United Russia faction in the State Duma, the deputy chairman of the budget and tax committee. In 2003 and 2007, he was re -elected to the State Duma according to the list of "United Russia". Before the election in the fall of last year, he submitted a declaration of income and real estate, becoming the second united Russia in security after the former general director of AvtoVAZ Governor of the Samara Region Vladimir Artyakov. The total income of Reznik for 2006 (dividends, the sale of property, sale of a share in the authorized capital, income from deposits) amounted to more than 1.16 billion rubles. In the accounts in Russian and foreign banks (including the Spanish Caja de Ahorres Y Pensiones de Barcelona), Reznik had more than 1.3 billion rubles. In addition, he owned several land plots in the Leningrad and Kaluga regions, an apartment in Moscow, two non-residential buildings in St. Petersburg, two Mercedes cars, shares of several banks and companies.

Yesterday, Reznik confirmed that the mansion where the search was carried out really belongs to him. Villa with an area of 447 square meters. m and land plot with an area of 1.8 thousand square meters. m at the address of Aenida of Mar, 82 he acquired in June 2004. “The purchase of the house was carried out in full accordance with Russian and Spanish legislation,” the deputy’s statement said in the “newspaper”. “The money was transferred from my account in Moscow. The fact of the acquisition was reflected in the declaration.” Indeed, the fact of the acquisition of real estate in Spain was noted in the income declaration for 2004. Meanwhile, in the declaration of income of candidates in the State Duma posted on the website of the Central Election Commission in October 2007, this real estate is not indicated.

Reznik claims that the purpose of the procedural actions carried out by Gates is unknown to him. In this regard, he already instructed his Spanish lawyers to appeal the conduct of an unlawful, as he believes, search. However, the deputy is not going to go to Spain personally. There are no official clarifications about the incident from the Spanish authorities.

Recall that the Russians arrested from the sanctions of the Garson are suspected of laundering the money received as a result of weapons trade, in smuggling of cobalt and tobacco, extortion, false bankruptcies, bribing officials and custom -made murders. Behind the bars were the 49-year-old Alexander Malyshev, known in the criminal circles of St. Petersburg, who is now bearing the name of the fifth wife-Gonzalez, as well as 60-year-old businessman Gennady Petrov. Both of the Spanish law enforcement agencies are considered the leaders of the Russian criminal group operating on the Pyrenee Peninsula.

Among the detainees in the summer of 2008, Vitaliy Zhigilov also appears, whom the police considers the organizer of the money laundering scheme. Including we are talking about real estate investments in Spanish resorts. It is curious that Zhigilov on a similar charges was delayed in the summer of 2005 during the special operation of the Osa, but later he was released on bail. Then 28 people were detained, 22 of which turned out to be Georgian thieves in law. The continuation of the Osa was the arrest in May 2006 of the 53-year-old thief in the law of Zakhari Kalashov (Shakro-young), and in November 2006-the Moscow lawyer Kalashov-Alexander Gofstein.

It is worth noting that the operation "Troika", as claimed in the Spanish police, was prepared for a whole year. During this period, financial intelligence studied the movements of tens of millions of euros in 500 accounts open to the names of the detainees. Therefore, during the searches, the police primarily arrested the accounts and computers of the suspects.
