Today, the charge requested an extortion of $ 2 million for Alexei Ulyukaev by Igor Sechin - 10 years of maximum security colony and a fine of 500 million rubles. On December 7, the accused will utter the last word, and at the next meeting the judge will begin to announce the verdict.

• The prosecutor Boris Immaculate in his speech stated that he considers the guilt of Ulyukaev in receiving a bribe “fully proven”, but proposed to exclude an extortion item from the prosecution. At the same time, the prosecutor, having listed Ulyukaev’s property, noted that Ulyukaev at the time of receiving a bribe “as a cheese in oil rode”.
• To the testimony of Sechin himself, the investigation given, the non -resistant in his speech did not refer. The main basis for the charge was the testimony of the former head of the Rosneft Security Service, General of the FSB Oleg Feoktistov. Before the meeting, their contents were retold by the BBC.
• Ulyukaev refused to plead guilty, and Sechin again accused of provocations, suggesting that he had not appeared in court so as not to be responsible for perjury. The next meeting will be held on December 7th.

What am I to me?

Personally, you are probably nothing, but a lot will be decided for Igor Sechin in December. By the end of the year, the court will not only pronounce the sentence to Alexei Ulyukaev, but also decides the final decision on whether the AFK Sistema should pay 136 billion rubles in the Bashneft case. From both solutions it will be possible to conclude how much political influence has retained Sechin.

The next stop is Sudan

Fighters of Russian private military companies, including the Wagner group known in the wars in Ukraine and Syria, now take part in the Civil War in Sudan, says BBC. At the end of November, the President of the African country Omar al-Bashir came on a visit to Moscow, where he met with Vladimir Putin and asked for protection from “US aggressive actions”. The Civil War in Sudan has been continuing since the early 1980s, al-Bashir has been accused by the International Criminal Court of Genocide during the conflict.

Xiaomi raised to $ 50 billion

The Chinese Xiaomi, which until recently was the most expensive startup in the world (an estimate of $ 46 billion in 2014), was about to conduct an IPO in Hong Kong in 2018. For 4 years, the cost of the company has changed not much-although part of the Xiaomi top managers believe that it should cost $ 100 billion, consultants believe that the market will not estimate it above $ 50 billion. Xiaomi money is needed for international expansion, this year she overtook Samsung in the most rapidly growing Indian market in the world.

Children's Facebook

This news sounds scary-Facebook launches a special messenger for children 6-12 years old. The social network promises that there will be no advertisement in the new messenger, it will not be tied to the Facebook account (which children cannot be made up to 13), and parents will be able to control the children from their Facebook account. The social network also promises that it will not collect any data about children, except for the name-familia. However, Facebook is not particularly needed: she needs a children's messenger to educate future users of the main Facebook, the significant share of which is now eating the popular Snapchat among children and adolescents.

Sberbank has a failure again

In the processing of Sberbank, the second large failure for a week - from 12.45 to Moscow time, part of the bank’s customers could not conduct operations on cards, while others had money for operations from the card that they did not perform. The first bank promises to restore cards in the near future, the second to return the money. So far, both of them can be consoled by large text in Vedomosti about how German Gref changed Sberbank in 10 years (in fact, of course, he changed without jokes).

An article for reading in an airplane waiting for 7 hours of departure from Sheremetyevo: The Verge has collected everything about how technologies will change airports. Safety checks will only be more, but they can be passed faster - thanks to the technologies of facial recognition and the separation of passengers into several different categories.
