The voice of blood

The Rain TV channel published a recording of the conversation of the head of the defense holding "Zaslon" Alexander Gorbunov, a possible organizer of the attack on journalist Oleg Kashin, with the performers of the crime. The audio recording was reported to the journalists by Elena Veselova, the wife of the accused of the attempt by Danila Veselova.

The conversation took place shortly after the assassination attempt, says Veselov. A male voice is heard on the record, which says that he and his interlocutors need to not see for six months, and then change the documents and start a “new life”. At the same time, the man promises to finance "the whole thing." He also warns that "in any case," his surname "should not sound anywhere," otherwise he will not be able to help.

According to Veselova, her husband also recorded a meeting with Gorbunov and Pskov governor Andrei Turchak on a recorder. “This record made shortly before the attack, Veselov refused to provide Rain, considering her the only effective tool in defense of her husband. She fears for his life,” the television channel notes.

In an interview with Kommersant, published on Wednesday, Veselova directly pointed to the governor of Turchak as a customer of a crime . According to Veselova, initially Gorbunov suggested her husband to pour Kashin with paint. Veselov agreed. “And then he went to Moscow with Gorbunov, where they met with Governor Andrei Turchak in a cafe. And about the fact that Kashina should be beaten, he already said. They say that he couldn’t write later,” Elena said.

Veselova claims that she is threatened, demanding to refuse to publish an audio record. “For compromising evidence for Turchak and Gorbunov, everyone does not care, everyone may not live to the court,” she quoted the words of the new head of the “barrier” security.

On September 7, Kashincalled the names of the attached but him . This is Veselov, the head of the security of the mechanical plant, the unit of the defense holding "Zaslon", and the security officer Vyacheslav Borisov. Another accused is Mikhail Kavtaskin, also a guard of a mechanical plant.

According to the case file, Gorbunov paid guards for attempted Kashin 3 million 300 thousand rubles. In addition, he gave Borisov a clock.

"Zaslon" is controlled by the structures of Anatoly Turchak - friend of Vladimir Putin and the father of the Pskov governor. After the arrest of Gorbunov, Kashin noted that in 2010, communicating with the Live Journal, he quarreled with the governor. “Tourchak threatened me in LiveJournal, and then I was also transferred to me separately from the Turchak,” the journalist wrote.

Veselov and Kavtaskin were detained and arrested in June. On June 24 and 25, respectively, the guards were charged under part 3 of article 30 - paragraphs "Z", "Z" Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code (attempted murder committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy from selfish motives or hiring). Borisov was charged in absentia, he was put on the federal wanted list.

Veselov, in his petition for the conclusion of the pre -trial agreement, promised to "report information about the circumstances of the organization and committing a crime, the role of each of its participants - Gorbunov, Turchak and others." The TFR refused the deal with Veselov.

On September 11, the investigator Vadim Sotykov freed Gorbunov on a subscription about the bankrupt in the case of the illegal turnover of weapons. A few days before this decision, the court in St. Petersburg refused to change the measure of restraint Gorbunov to house arrest.

On Friday, Russian journalists asked the authorities to take under personal control a criminal case, instituted after the beating of Kashin, and interrogate the Turchak in this case . "We, Oleg Kashin's colleagues, are afraid that pressure can be exerted for the investigation and that customers of the crime may evade liability," the appeal said.
