According to our source, the conflict happened at about midnight, when the visitor drunk (allegedly a special forces fighter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) lost almost 200 thousand rubles and said that "only crooks are working in the club." The gamer was asked to leave the room, but he attacked the operator girl. The security hardly managed to expel the rowdy, but an hour later he returned and threw the RGN grenade.
Two guards and two more visitors were injured from the explosion: a young guy and a girl. In addition, gaming equipment was damaged. Fortunately, the club’s cameras worked in the club and you will not have to run for a long time for a long time.
The new reporters contacted Natalia D., who received a fragmentation wound to the side.
Immediately after the explosion, Natalia was taken to the hospital, made a dressing and released home. Then, the police came to her twice and took her testimony. Moreover, they persistently asked not to mention in the protocol about slot machines.
Earlier, the owner of the Lotus was a native of the Kaliningrad region Viktor Pankratiev. At one time, he worked in the Holy Assumption Monastery, and then went to business. In addition to Lotus, Pankratiev established eleven commercial structures in the CAO of Moscow and Khimki.
After the entry into force of the law on the transfer of game activities to special zones, Lotus continued to function under the sign of the Bookmaker Club and even installed an additional 40 slot machines. According to visitors, the club supposedly guarded the police officers in civilian clothes (the club is located on the territory of the Khovrino police department), and to the question: “Who is the master?”, Smiling cunningly and nodding to the bartender - it seems to be a distant relative of Pankratiev.
After numerous complaints of local residents, the club was covered, and three months ago he resumed the work again (the editorial office has a video ).
As you know, without the support of corrupt officials or security officials, opening an “underground” game club is simply impossible. This is what Armen D., engaged in Igor in the metropolitan region, stated:
In addition to Lotus, seven underground casinos work in the region, and one of them, located in the basement of the house at the address: Korovinskoye Shosse house 23, building. 1, - it was never closed at all (previously the club was called the Golden Arbuz, the founders, according to official sources: President of the Pearl Soci football club Dmitry Yakushev and businessman Eduard Amalyan).
Honestly, I am not very believed that the officials of the council and the security forces do not know anything about the work of underground clubs.
For reference: the chair of the Dmitrovsky council is occupied by Vladimir Nazarov , the prosecutor of the SAO - Vladimir Khrenev (previously held the position of Lublin interdistrict prosecutor), the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of CAO Igor Zinoviev (previously was the deputy head of the criminal police of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Central Administrative District).
In December 2010, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that he would fire the heads of administrations in which underground casinos will work. Waiting for seats?
PS similar emergencies happened earlier: in June 2006, a slot machine room at the Bratislavskaya metro station was blown up. Then several people were also injured.
