Former Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Combating the Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Anatoly Petukhov invested more than $ 38 million in the American state of Florida. This was reported by the Russian branch of Transparency International.
As noted in TI, the GUBOP had a reputation for one of the most corrupt divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the resignation of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Vladimir Rushailo, the masses of the generals, including Petukhov, were held in the Gubope. He went to work in the All -Russian Research Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and took up business. In 2002, Petukhov became a shareholder of JSC "Joint Trading House" Yasenevo. In TI, it was found that in Russia, Petukhov owned a private house in Kurkino with a plot of 50 acres worth about 1.8-2 million dollars and an apartment in an elite house on Tikhvinskaya Street.
In 2010, Petukhov moved to Miami. In the same year, he purchased real estate in one of the most expensive luxury condominiums worth more than three million dollars. In subsequent years, Petukhov, through his own company, ASKO Inc bought a number of office premises, two mansions on the island of Hibiscus and other real estate. The total amount of his investments in Miami exceeds $ 38 million.
In 2013, TD "Yasenevo" filed a civil lawsuit against Petukhov to the Federal Court of Miami. According to the plaintiff, from 2005 to 2012, Petukhov illegally withdrew from OJSC more than 16.8 million dollars, which were later washed in the United States and used to acquire real estate. Petukhov’s partners also accused him of physically threatened the chairman of the board of the board of directors of the Yasenevo TD Pavel Gornostaev so that he would not try to initiate a criminal case against a retired general in Russia. However, in 2014, the parties unexpectedly came to a peace agreement. The claims were withdrawn. At the request of the parties, the judge deleted court documents from public access in order to "prevent damage to the reputation of the parties."
However, the total value of Petukhov’s assets significantly exceeds the amount deretled from the TD "Yasenevo". TI could not establish the source of the origin of the money of a retired general.
“The materials of the petukhov case contains information that indicate that the ex -general not only illegally received the status of a US resident with his family, but could also commit crimes in Russia,” said TI. “In order to conduct an additional verification of the indicated facts and taking into account the cross -border scheme of the withdrawal of funds, we prepared appeals to Russian law enforcement and supervisory authorities: the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation and the Russian Federation and the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation and the Russian Federation and supervisor. Rosfinmonitoring at the same time, we will send official appeals to the US financial crime department (Fincen) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "
