They are looking for good at customs

In the morning, operatives of their own security department of the FSB searched in the office in the office of the director of the Federal Customs Service Andrei Belleininov. It is reported by "New Gazeta".

According to the press service of the Investigative Committee, the searches were held in the offices of the deputy heads of the FCS Davydov and Strukov, as well as at the place of residence of Belyaninov. "In addition, searches were carried out at the place of residence and work of the President of the Arsenal Insurance Company, Sergey Lobanov, who is the founder of at least 15 different companies whose activities are closely related to the FCS of Russia," the report said.

The searches were held in the framework of the case under Part 3 of Article 200.2 of the Criminal Code (smuggling of alcohol by an organized group), which provides for from 7 to 12 years of the colony. The case was opened at the end of March against the general director of the St. Petersburg Holding "Forum" Dmitry Mikhalchenko and the top managers of the company Contrail Logistic North-West "Ilya Pichko and Anatoly Kindrasky. They are charged with the import into the country through the port of Ust-Luga near St. Petersburg of a large batch of cognac Courvoisier of 1912 under the guise of building sealant. Mikhalchenko was arrested.

The papers regarding alcohol smuggling were discovered during a search in another case, in which Mikhalchenko, the Baltztra Mikhalchenko, appeared on theft in the Ministry of Culture during the restoration of the Novodevichy Monastery. In this case, the director of Baltstra was arrested.

Meanwhile, RBC with reference to a certain source, "close to the leadership of the FSB," reports that the search from Belleinin is not only connected with the Mikhalchenko case. It is possible that the security forces were also interested in the case of ULS Global, which annually imported 2 billion dollars. Among the defendants in this case are the operative of the Main Directorate of the FCS to combat smuggling Pavel Smalychuk and the head of the 7th department of the Office K to the Economic Security Service of the FSB Vadim Uvarov.

Belyaninov has repeatedly submitted a resignation for several years. However, these requests invariably deviated. According to the interlocutor of RBC, threatening the resignation, the head of the FCS tried to receive an additional credit of trust from the country's leadership.

The latest request about the resignation was written about six months ago, the Rain TV channel reports citing a source in the FCS. A high -ranking source in the government confirmed this information. According to him, the statement has long been submitted to the president, but all this time they were looking for a "new worthy place" to Belyaninov.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that he did not know whether Belleninov submitted a resignation statement. “I don’t know about it,” the press secretary said. The press service of the FCS also said that she did not have information about the statement of the head of the department about his own free will.
