While making public statements about strengthening the security regime, the law enforcement agencies still do not understand that they are in conflict with their own interests. Well, it's impossible to take bribes on Mondays and fight terrorism on Tuesdays. Something is bound to suffer.
The story that we learned about happened already during the period of this most enhanced regime. Apparently, it is not isolated and indicates that the organizers of the terrorist attacks have enough potential for a secret stay in Moscow, out of the sight of law enforcement agencies and special services. Since formally the documents of illegal immigrants can be in perfect order, with all the required stamps and signatures. And this level of cover is provided not by abstract private offices, not by crooks who skillfully forge passports and seals, but by official state bodies.
Residents of the Losinoostrovsky district of Moscow (the exact address is available in the editorial office) accidentally discovered that someone outsider was registered in their apartment. In the mailbox they found a bundle of letters from the tax inspectorate No. 46 - they were all addressed to a certain Ramazanov Elchin Telmanovich and reported that he could receive certificates of registration of five companies. Then exactly the same letters about 12 more firms came from the inspectorate.
From these messages it followed that, secretly from the owners of the apartment, a citizen Ramazanov was registered with them, who, moreover, registered at this address a total of more than twenty commercial organizations.
A little earlier, it turned out that a man from the Chechen Republic, who was on the federal wanted list, was registered in apartment No. We also found out about this by accident.
Analyzing the situation after the Moscow terrorist attacks, FSB experts have noted more than once: in the prevention of terrorism, what is happening on the ground is especially important - the work of district inspectors and local police departments. The effectiveness of the entire system of countering terror depends on how complete information they collect about the suspicious and strange in their yards.
So what happens at the initial and, as it turns out, very important level at the moment when all TV channels tell us about unprecedented security measures, and in every entrance there are calls to residents with the words “Be vigilant!”?
Local residents spent a lot of time drawing attention to the history of the secret registration. In tax inspectorate No. 46, despite the fact that they were informed about everything, the documents of the firms were nevertheless handed over to a registered citizen who knows not how. In the department for combating economic crimes of the Department of Internal Affairs of the North-Eastern District, they became interested in the morning, but in the evening, after a visit to the tax office, they answered that they would not deal with this.
Further, the injured residents and their materials traveled the following way: from the UBEP to the Department of Internal Affairs of the North-East Administrative Okrug, then to the public security police. From there - to the passport and visa service of the Internal Affairs Directorate, and then - to the department for combating organized crime. After some time, everything was sent to the Losinoostrovsky police department, where, in fact, illegal registration was carried out ... And the citizens also reached the local, Babushkinskaya prosecutor's office, where they were also received unkindly.
As a result, criminal case No. 304657 was initiated against the passport officer Borshcheva G.S. (use of a deliberately forged document and abuse of power). And in the passport and visa department of the Losinoostrovsky police department, where, in fact, they were supposed to put the final stamps, some kind of lieutenant was made a switchman.
We would not pay attention to this particular story if it did not confirm one sad general rule. Former FSB operatives who were involved in the development of terrorist and bandit groups that came from Chechnya shared with us some chronology of how criminals were registered in the Moscow region. An amazing pattern. The more dangerous the situation, the more opportunities for disguise and acquisition of legal documents appeared ...
In 1992, people with a criminal past, including militants, arriving from Chechnya, entered into fictitious marriages and took the names of their wives (this is how, for example, Novikov Vissruddin Dzhunaidovich appeared in Moscow, born in 1966, whom Salman Raduev in December 1996 exchanged for three captured Russian riot police).
By 1993, a seemingly completely unbelievable method was successfully tested - through the Central Address Bureau (Central Address Bureau) to remove the necessary data from the file cabinet. Often, information was stored only in the district: it indicated that the person was registered, and the check through the CAB did not give any results.
By 1995, cases of issuing false passports directly through the passport offices became more frequent, and original forms of documents often ended up in the hands of criminals.
And in 2004, quite recently, firms that were engaged in illegal registration were identified in Moscow - they put illegal residents in Muscovites' apartments, so much so that the owners did not even know about them. After the prosecutor's check revealed another 200 addresses. Illegals received passports with the correct stamps and completely disappeared from the field of view of law enforcement agencies.
As it turned out, and this is not the limit. The facts cited by us prove that both the passport and visa service and the Unified Information and Settlement Center are capable of providing illegal immigrants with secret documents without any commercial intermediaries.
And now, if now, to delve into the archives of these closed structures, perhaps, the secret of the appearance in Moscow of the Baraev group, which captured the Nord-Ost, will be revealed. By the way, the terrorists who blew up a residential building in Volgodonsk in 1999, as it turned out, lived in this city for almost a week. At the same time, you need to remember at least one thing: the lieutenant from the Internal Affairs Directorate and the district police officer are only the first link in the corruption chain that has girded us with the martyr's belt.
And documents in the subway can be checked as much as you like: this gives a constant income to police officers, but does not guarantee our safety in any way. At least put a patrol at each pillar.
