Features of the police business
The events of the year according to The New Times
In 2010, the authorities will have to solve the police problem.
It is already obvious: the Ministry of Internal Affairs in its current form cannot exist further. Literally every day brings new reports from the battlefield of people in uniform with citizens. Throughout the year, the New Times sorted out the features of the police business
Police captain Leonid Zayka killed two workers, after which he himself undertook to investigate the crime and almost sent the parents of the dead by jail, accusing them of a crime. The trial of Captain Zayka ends on these December days in the Saratov region. In parallel, the scandal is flared up around two employees of the Losinoostrovsky police department, who beat the 19-year-old participant in the “marches of the disagreement” Svyatoslav Rechkalov. In mid -December, the Bratevsky Maniac was detained, who turned out to be the senior lieutenant of the traffic police of the Domodedovo district Arthur Kositsin: he was suspected of at least 15 attacks and rape. Finally, the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs themselves also spoke about police lawlessly: the beginning was laid by a major from Novorossiysk Alexei Dymovsky. At least a dozen police officers throughout the country followed his example. They upload videos to the World Wide Web, where they repent in their crimes and expose the higher authorities. The crisis of the system has become so obvious that even the deputy from United Russia Andrei Makarov made a proposal to eliminate the current police and only after that begin the reform. So, by the way, after Mikhail Saakashvili, after coming to power, the police in Georgia reformed, and the reform quite justified itself. The essence of both police revelations and journalistic investigations: the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not a law enforcement agency, it is a colossal business that lives at the expense of money, health, often the life of taxpayers.
A police price list earn everything everywhere. The wolfersnaya lives in the department of economic crimes, the employees of the SCM (criminal police service) and the PPS (patrol service) feel good. Personnel officers have their own income articles, on whom the appointments, award, penalties depend; Even the employees of the combat training service, the economic service, the organizational and inspectoral departments have something to earn on.
The main source of income of operatives is the closure or non -abbrection of criminal cases. One of the large Moscow businessmen cited the following prices: $ 1-10 thousand, in order to pay off in an ordinary situation until you are taken to the department; If it is already in the police department, the price grows to $ 25-30 thousand; If the matter, as they say, has spun, its closure will cost $ 100-150 thousand. The sources of The New Times in the Ministry of Internal Affairs call other amounts. According to them, if we are talking about an ordinary situation, then getting out for $ 5-10 thousand. It is quite real. The prices increase when it comes to economic crimes. Most often, this is raiding, and here, depending on the scale of the captured object, the price, the price claims, will vary from $ 50 thousand to $ 150 thousand. “It all depends on what a person is involved and who is conducting the case,” said another specialist. -District Internal Affairs Directorate and Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation “stand” differently. The lower the stage at which the investigation is underway, the cheaper. ”
The revenue vertically the most noisy police crime of the year was the massacre arranged by Major Denis Evsyukov in April 2009 in the capital's supermarket "Ostrov": the major killed three and six people wounded. Evsyukov headed the OVD "Tsaritsyno". After his arrest, the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Southern District of the capital, Viktor Ageev, and the head of the Moscow Central Internal Affairs Directorate, Vladimir Pronin, lost. “You can get to the heads of the Department of Internal Affairs (internal affairs department) in two ways,” said one of the officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in an interview with The New Times. -Either you are a leadership of the leadership and do a joint business with him, or certain business structures move you to this place. The place of the head of the ATS can cost from $ 100 thousand (minimum price) up to $ 1 million. For the appointment to such a district as Tsaritsyno, you will have to pay at least $ 500 thousand. ” The price of the district, according to former operatives, is determined by many factors: the presence of markets, factories (and they have warehouses), shopping centers, stations, hostels, currency exchange points, and compact residence places of visitors. “The center, the South District, the Southeast District are considered very profitable zones,” said The New Times. In Kapotne, for example, many Azerbaijanis live. Such areas as Konkovo or Shchelkovo are beneficial, and Cherkizovo - this was generally considered a gold bottom until the owner of the market Telman Ismailov fell into disgrace.
Knowledgeable people in the business community say: only with Tsaritsyno per year you can collect from $ 100-200 million, and the central administrative district in terms of “black” fees is quite comparable to corporations: $ 1.5–2 billion. Operators clarify: you can collect, but far from collecting more than one police. “Keep in mind that it is necessary to bring to the FSB, and prosecutors, and veterinary supervision, and the Moscow government, and firefighters, and tax authorities,” the interlocutors of The New Times listed. - If you do not strain, then a monthly income in the "good" area - $ 200-250 thousand. " No more than half remains from the collected rent, however, the head of the police department, according to experts. It is necessary to share with subordinates, with the leadership, with those who contributed to the appointment of a bread place. “There are no approved bets, unlike the traffic police,” said The New Times. - It is known that an employee of the traffic police collects about $ 1000 in one shift on the highway, of which he must give the management $ 400-500. The police are different in the police. It is necessary to act in such a way as not to “offend”.
The “cooperation” of the operative with the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, and the chief with higher management is not always established through cash payments. “I served in a dysfunctional area, I never managed to collect a lot there, so our head of the ATS with the leadership built relations by another principle,” says the former operative of one of the branches of the northeastern district of the capital. - In the area several reliable baths were identified, where a video and audio recording of what was happening was guaranteed to be guaranteed. The higher authorities simply came once or twice a month, and the task of the head of the Department of Internal Affairs boiled down to set the table, to provide girls. This was called "to arrange a subbotnik." Since the subbotniks periodically arrange in all areas, respectively, the relations of the police with brothels and prostitutes-individuals are not always built on a financial basis: the payment for work in this territory may well be provided for intimate services to the authorities in uniform, operatives say.
The system or personality about the hopelessness of attempts to correct the current system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs speak both by police and experts. It is clear that among the policemen there are honest people, professionals, and those who are suffering from their souls. But the system is arranged in such a way that most employees are drawn into the shadow business. The vertical of bribes leaves no choice: either pay, and therefore take it, or look for another job. "I wonder how many people still need to fill up, so that something has changed in the system?" - One of the police officers wrote at the forum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the battle arranged by Major Evsyukov.
