This was reported by "New Gazeta" with reference to sources in special services.
A criminal case has been instituted against Senin under part 1 of Article 338 of the Criminal Code (desertion, up to seven years in prison). “At the end of April, leaving for lunch, he left his colleagues the key to the safe, certificate and report on dismissal from the FSB bodies.

“There is no doubt that the escape is connected with the investigation of the relative’s case,” the source said. At the same time, he emphasized that the motives of Senin’s crime "have not yet been established."
On September 9, 2016, Zakharchenko was detained and arrested the next day. He was charged under Articles 285 (abuse of authority), 290 (receiving a bribe) and 294 Criminal Code (obstruction of the investigation). As reported, during the search, the colonel seized over $ 120 million and 2 million euros in cash. Zakharchenko himself noted that the apartment where the money was stored belongs to his sister.
On September 16, it became known that the TFR requested the federal reserve system of the United States about which of the Russian banks he ordered a currency seized in the apartment of the colonel's sister.
On September 26, the New Gazeta with reference to the data provided by Banker Herman Gorbuntsov, who previously worked with Zakharchenko, reported that he was involved in multibillion -dollar thefts in Russian Railways . It was stated that the initial persons engaged in theft in the Russian Railways and laundering the money received monthly paid Zakharchenko 150 thousand euros. Later, the colonel became a full partner of the company's contractors. “According to my estimates, tens of billions of rubles were abducted annually on the contracts of Russian Railways,” Gorbuntsov remarked. “So the money found at the colonel is fully consistent with these scale.”
According to the banker, his former partners Valery Markelov and Boris Asherovich, as well as Andrei Kapivin, adviser to the ex-president of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin, were involved in thefts.
On April 30, Rosbalt said that the dollars found during the search of Zakharchenko were first among firms and banks associated with Russian Railways . It was possible to track the origin of money thanks to their packages. According to the investigation, the money was transferred to Zakharchenko as a fee to him and "a number of his younger colleagues from the Ministry of Internal Affairs" for the protection of these companies. As the source said, in the summer of 2016, Zakharchenko, having learned about the Suspicions of the FSB regarding these companies and personally to him, began to prepare the transfer of money to Switzerland.
