Ex-employee of the FSB confessed to extortion at the head of Rosalkol

Former senior lieutenant of the FSB Service (SEB) Maxim Tsukanov completely agreed with the accusation of an extortion of $ 800 thousand from the head of the Federal Air Force of Rosalkolregulovy Igor Chuyan. During the investigation of the case, as well as during the hearing, the ex-chekist denied his participation in the crime.

As it became known to Kommersant , Tsukanov not only pleaded guilty, but also called the organizer of the extortion of the second defendant - the current SEB officer Igor Korobitsin.

This case has been obeyed in the garrison military court of Moscow for several months, and the investigation all this time considered the organizer of the crime precisely Tsukanov. Korobitsin’s lawyer Andrei Gryvtsov told the newspaper that the words of the ex-employee of the FSB are a reservation, since he is facing a “very long time” due to the criminal record for giving a bribe.

According to the investigation, the attackers at the end of 2014 decided to convey to the head of Rosalkolol that there are supposedly large claims from law enforcement agencies. For 800 thousand dollars, criminals promised to provide the head of the General Patronage Service.

Negotiations began with the meeting of Tsukanov and Korobitsin from the deputy head of the Rosalkol -Rosalkol Legal Department Alexei Kotov. He conveyed the content of the conversation to his boss, and Chuyan, understanding with whom he was dealing, turned to the FSB.

Subsequent meetings and telephone conversations were under the control of the FSB. Kotov at some point insisted at a personal meeting of Korobitsin and the head of Rosalkol. It took place in a cafe on Kutuzovsky Prospekt a few hours before the detention.

Kotov transferred 800 thousand dollars to Korobitsin, of which only 100 thousand were real. After some time, an employee of the FSB was called to their own security service, where they detained. Tsukanov was detained after a while. The metropolitan administration of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation accused both of attempted fraud on an especially large scale (Article 30 and part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
