In the Krasnodar Territory , an investigation into the murder of twelve people in the house of Ametov farmers, which occurred on November 5, continues . One trial entailed others: dozens of criminal incidents in the village of Kushchevskaya in the Kuban over the past 10 years have not been investigated. Meanwhile, it turns out that the situation with Kushchevskaya is not unique to Russia. One of the examples that came into the field of public view is the city of Gus-Khrustalny in the Vladimir region. During the investigation of the massacre in Kushchevskaya, it turned out that the authorities of the region practically did not manage this territory, and it fell under the control of organized criminal groups. In relations with criminals, residents accuse both officials, deputies, and law enforcement agencies.
The head of the Main Directorate of the Krasnodar Territory, Sergei Kucheruk, who announced earlier that he would receive citizens in the village of Kushchevskaya on November 24, transferred this reception to Krasnodar and postponed a later term. As the press service of the regional police department explained, residents of the Kushchevsky district want to contact the head of the Commission of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Dmitry Alymov, who came to the district. They have no questions to Kucheruk. This is an official statement by the press service of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate. But it is known that Sergey Kucheruk is one of those whom many residents of Kuban suspect the relations of the criminalite and whose resignation, along with the resignation of the governor Alexander Tkachev, are demanded by residents of Kushchevskaya.
On November 24, the head of the Kushchevsky unit of the regional center for countering extremism Alexander Khodych was detained. He is suspected of extortion, but Khodychu has not yet been charged. He tried to hide from the investigation. About who Khodych is, says Radio Liberty correspondent in the Krasnodar Territory
Vitaly Tarasov :
- The head of the Kushchevsky department of counteracting extremism, Alexander Khodych, lives a stone's throw from the place of murder. 12 people were killed on Zelennaya Street, and the police house is located on a parallel Frunze Street. True, he looks like, rather, to the palace. According to unofficial data, the cost of the house is about 80 million rubles. Where did the district police leader come from such funds, his colleagues cannot say.
The assumption of income sources can be made if you take into account the information of the General Prosecutor's Office. It is reported that Alexander Khodych assigned the infinity car, which belonged to one of the citizens. Later, he wanted to assign the Audi car that is a prenabulating the same citizen, but, apparently, did not have time. Kushchevskaya - the village is not the largest. Everyone or almost everyone knows each other, but in the district administration they say: neither the victim nor the head of the district center "E" is known there.
Local residents are ready to tell about the policeman, but on the terms of anonymity. According to them, earlier, when Khodych led the district department for the fight against organized crime, he more than once initiated checks at agricultural enterprises. And then these enterprises suddenly began to be interested in the family of tsapki - it is the Tsapkov who are called the leaders of local organized crime. Most often, the enterprises tested by Khodych were into their hands.
It is also known that Alexander Khodych actively participated in the case of Galina Kroshka. This is a former rector of the North Kuban Humanitarian and Technology University. In 2005, Galina Kroshka, along with students, wrote appeals to the administration of the Krasnodar Territory, the regional police department, the federal press. Students reported a crime of crime in the Kushchevsky district. As a result, 12 criminal cases were instituted, which the prosecutor’s office soon terminated. And then Galina Kroshka was condemned for falsification of documents and fraud. The criminal case was based on the materials collected by Alexander Khodych. In addition to him, Igor Chernykh is now detained nicknamed Amur - the ninth member of the local gang group. It was he who was called the killer of four children in the Ameetov House, ”said Radio Liberty correspondent Vitaly Tarasov.
The search for two more suspects - Vladimir Alekseev and Sergey Ryabtsev - is carried out along the interpol. The Governor of the Krasnodar Territory Alexander Tkachev, whose resignation is achieved by residents of the region, on November 24 at sessions of the Legislative Assembly of the region, suggested that gangs like Kushchevskaya were operating in each municipality of the region. About the fact that this is also possible in other regions of Russia, says
Olga Kostina , deputy chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of Public Control over the activities and reform of law enforcement agencies and the judicial system:
-Citizens say that someone turned to the police, someone-to the prosecutor, wrote to the governor, to Moscow. Deputies wrote to the prosecutor's office. And what? All appeals are returning to the one you complained about. Can this be repeated? Yes, this is repeated.
The said by Olga Kostina can be attributed to the situation in the city of Gus-Khrustalny, Vladimir Region. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia states that the check in the Gus-Khrustalny is in no way related to a similar check in the village of Kushchevskaya. During the audit from the performance of his duties, the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Gus-Khrustalny, Nikolai Garkin and his deputy, the head of the criminal police, Alexander Nasbullin. The Vladimir press connects this audit with the recent letter of the inhabitants of the Gus-Khrustalny Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Businessmen, politicians, social activists and even the mayor complained to Putin’s rampant crime in the city. Here's what the mayor of Gus-Khrustalny
Yuri Grishkin told Radio Liberty:
- Over the past twenty years, the shadow turnover in the city is, according to various estimates, from 5 to 7 billion rubles. Up to 70% of entrepreneurs work illegally or use gray schemes. This is not the situation that in Kushchevskaya, where the crime is all and all the rules, but the external similar features, of course, are evident.
The independent deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir Region
Viktor Shokhrin supplements:
-Residents of the Khrustalny goose are afraid to go out into the street in the dark. Over the past five months, about 40 resonant crimes associated with arson, robberies, robberies have been registered. We are afraid that an attempt will be made to shift all responsibility only to the city police department, leaving outside the field of the main ideologists of the situation.
According to Viktor Shokhrin, on November 24, deputies of the regional Legislative Assembly supported his appeal to the prosecutor general Yuri Chaika, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Rashid Nurgaliev and the director of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, associated with the situation in the Gus-Khrustalny.
Returning to Kushchevskaya, I must say that immediately after the massacre of the Main Directorate of the Krasnodar Territory, the activities of the private security company Centurion-Plus showed. This private security company was part of the Artex-Agro holding, owned by Sergei Tsapk, whom the investigation considers the head of the Kushchevsky organized criminal community. The connection of the "centurion" with the murder of 12 people has not yet been established. But the inhabitants of the village openly say that a real criminal army was organized on the basis of this security company in the area. Similar private security forces in Russia - tens of thousands, with powerful databases, excellent weapons, close ties with law enforcement agencies and approximately three million well -trained, combat -ready employees.
