Exposed theft in Russia, did not return from the run
Buzzfeed found in the financier Alexander of a sawing manner of a custom -made murder
The circumstances of the death of the financier Alexander Perepilichny in 2012 seemed suspicious to many. The Russian, who never complained about the heart, died during a run - immediately after he returned to the UK from a mysterious trip to France. The peasant was one of the people who exposed theft and money laundering in Russia, and, presumably, had documents on the involvement in the fraud of Russian law enforcement agencies. At the same time, the British police repeatedly stated that no signs of violent death were found during the examination of the body of the peeping. Buzzfeed conducted its own investigation and claims that the British law enforcement agencies hid the true circumstances of the death of a Russian financier. According to journalists, the sawing man could become a victim of a custom -made murder organized by the Kremlin.
The 44-year-old Alexander Perepylichny died on November 10, 2012-he went on an evening run and did not return. The body of the financier, who has lived in the UK since 2009, was discovered by passers -by. The official cause of death was recognized by cardiac arrest.
The assumptions that the Russian financier could be killed were related to his activities and the circumstances of leaving Russia. In 2010, shortly after receiving political asylum in the UK, Alexander Perepilchny began to cooperate with the Switzerland authorities, which investigated theft and laundering of money in Russia. In particular, the sawdown told investigators about the theft of 5.4 billion rubles from the Russian budget - the same fraud was investigated by the lawyer of the HERMITAGE CAPATAL Foundation, Sergei Magnitsky, who died in the Moscow Sailor Sailor in 2009.
Presumably, the peeling had documents indicating the involvement of Russian law enforcement officers in theft. In this regard, the founder of Hermitage Capital, William Brighter, directly accused of the death of the financier of the Russian security forces and the environment of Vladimir Putin. At the same time, the wife of the peeping believes that he died a natural death.

The case of the death of Alexander Perepilny was investigated by the County Police of Surrey; Representatives and lawyers of the police insisted and insist that the peasant died a natural death. So, the police claim that neither the primary nor re -opening the body of the financier revealed traces of poisonous substances. This was also confirmed by an expert cardiologist, attracted by the court to establish the circumstances of the death of the reerfactory.
In 2015, the media reported a new examination that discovered in the financier’s body traces of Helzemia - plants whose leaves when entering the digestive system can cause cardiac arrest. The official position of the British authorities has not changed, moreover, in 2016, the Great Britain government demanded to classify part of the documents , citing national interests and considerations of security.
BuzzFeed journalists conducted their own investigation of the circumstances of the death of Alexander Perepilichny. In particular, they interviewed several dozen of the former and current employees of the special services of the UK, France and the USA (all these countries to one degree or another were investigating the death of a Russian financier), and also found a woman with whom the peeling in Paris was made by the British or French police.

The woman was Elmira Medinskaya, a 27-year-old fashion designer from Ukraine. Medinskaya met a sawdust in Kyiv and after that met him several times. In Paris, they spent two nights together at the Four Seasons hotel. The woman said that the financier “tried to buy her location”, by shopping: he gave her a Prada bag and Luboutin shoes. Medinskaya said that the peeling "all the time went out into the street, answered mysterious phone calls, drank a lot" and generally nervous - "so much that even the shoes bought the wrong size." The next morning, the peel returned to England and died that evening.
Elmira Medinskaya told Buzzfeed reporters that the death of a sawdown was a complete surprise for her and that she could not imagine how and when he could be poisoned, but the woman is sure that he was killed. “This happens with Russians in London,” she said. “He handed the Swiss information, they can kill for it.”
Medinskaya also said that after the death of the peel, an investigator from the UK wrote to her and asked several questions by e -mail. The woman claims to offer to come to England to assist in the investigation, but the police did not invite her. According to the assumption of Medinskaya, the UK is not interested in the investigation of the murder so as not to lose “big money” from Russia.

The fact that the British government impeded the investigation of financial reasons, Buzzfeed was also stated by some representatives of the American intelligence services. So, one of the interlocutors of the publication said that the government "sought with all his might to avoid a diplomatic scandal in order to maintain the influx of Russian money in British banks." Employees of the American special services also said that shortly after the death of the peeping, they transferred a report to the Mi-6, which spoke about the custom-made murder as the most likely version of what happened, and the customer was called "Vladimir Putin or someone from his environment." The course of this report was not given, and British intelligence officers who agreed with the conclusions of the Americans were "forced to shut up."
In addition, representatives of the French police said that the British colleagues actually refused to assist them in their own investigation - in particular, so the French could not talk to Elmira Medinskaya (at the same time, Buzzfeed's material states that Medinskaya lives in Paris and the local police had data that it was she who was focused in Four Seasons in the issue of Four Seasons Night on November 9 and 10, 2012).
On June 5, 2017, a new judicial investigation of the circumstances of the death of Alexander Perepilichny began in the UK. During the hearings, the arguments of the police insisting on the natural death of the financier and representatives of the insurance company who discovered traces of plant toxin in his body will be studied. Neither the testimony of Elmira Medinskaya, nor the documents classified at the request of the government, will not be considered.
The US Congress, concerned about the rude interference of Russia in the Western affairs, ordered a secret report on the use of political murders for public administration in Russia. ” Two representatives of the American intelligence community told BuzzFeed that in a report prepared with the assistance of the CIA and the NSA, “with a high degree of confidence” states that Alexander Perepilichny was killed by decree of the Kremlin (English.).
