Clean and whole

Work on the cleansing of the ranks of the Investigative Committee after the arrest of a number of senior employees of the department will continue. This was stated by the head of the Investigative Committee of Alexander Bastrykin in an interview with the Rossiya Gazeta.

“I won’t be cunning: the topic is unpleasant, even painful. But it is impossible to silence it, we will not bury our heads in the sand. Work on cleansing the ranks of the TFR and all other law enforcement agencies will continue,” Bastrykin said. According to him, the arrest of employees of the Investigative Committee "in no case should not throw a shadow of thousands of honest and decent professionals of the Investigative Committee, who are on guard of legality and law and order."

“I regard what happened, in particular, as a betrayal of our victims of the comrades who died in the performance of official duty. I am sure that this case will serve as a bitter lesson to all those who may have selfish thoughts,” Bastrykin emphasized.

On Thursday, Kommersant reported that Bastrykin personally excited the case against employees of the Investigative Committee. It was noted that the head of the Investigative Committee intended to entrust the investigation to his department, however, Deputy Prosecutor Grin, having received a copy of the decision of Bastrykin, ordered to transfer the case to the FSB - as stated to ensure the objectivity of the investigation.

On Tuesday, the Lefortovo District Court arrested until September 15 the head of the Main Directorate of Interdepartmental Interaction and Safety of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee of Mikhail Maksimenko, the head of the Office of his own security department, Alexander Lamonov and the first deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Republic of Medical University in Moscow, Denis Nikandrov.

Searches were held at apartments and cottages of suspects, as well as in the buildings of the Investigative Committee. Search was the office of the head of the Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Moscow, Major General of Justice Alexander Drymanov. The media reported that from Monday he retired . However, there is no official confirmation of these messages yet.

According to the FSB, the thief in the law of Zakharia Kalashov (Shakro) to establish contacts with employees of the Investigative Committee took advantage of the director of the Chop Dmitry Zvontsov controlled by him. He was also familiar with Maksimenko in the previous service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The latter, using Lamonov as an intermediary, organized several meetings between Zvintsov and Nikandrov. According to the investigation, the parties agreed that the general for 5 milion dollars would take a group of Shakro young under his care, solving the problems that arose among its participants.

On Wednesday, investigators, who contributed to the organized Nikandrov collapse of cases against members of the Shakro group, were summoned for interrogation at the FSB. Since they did not receive money for their actions, investigators may be charged with excess of official powers or negligence.

On Saturday, Kommersant said that the FSB was considering the issue of transferring to another structure of the case of bribery, excited against high -ranking officials of the TFR. The reason was called the difficulties that arose during the investigation, due to the lack of experience in taking care of bribery in the FSB.

The most likely option, stated, will be the transfer of the case to the military department of the TFR. This is the management, noted the source of Kommersant, has vast experience in conducting such cases, as well as regardless of the leadership of the investigation department.
