On Tuesday, January 23, the prosecutor Boris Loktionov at the open meeting of the Moscow City Court is expected to announce the indictment against Colonel Mikhail Maksimenko, the former head of the Main Directorate of Interdepartmental Interaction and his own security of the Investigative Committee. As NT already reported, a colonel close to the head of the TFR Alexander Bastrykin, is a key person involved in the case of bribes paid for the liberation of Andrei Kochuykov (Italian), arrested after the famous shootout on Rochdelskaya Street . The main intrigue of this meeting is that for the first time in the loud criminal process, when a story about the corruption scheme, the name of one of the most high -ranking people in the Russian Investigative Committee - the head of the UK in Moscow, General Alexander Drymanov may sound. His name, as NT managed to find out, appears in the very indictment that the prosecutor will read.

Special in Ukraine

Major Drymanov, General Drymanov, took the post of head of the GSU SK Moscow in February 2015. Prior to this, in the summer of 2014, he, as a senior investigator, under the chairman of the Investigative Committee, headed the investigative group to investigate the criminal case “On the commission by representatives of the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine, serious and especially serious crimes against the interests of the Russian Federation and citizens of the Russian Federation”. It was within the framework of this large case that the case of the Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko was investigated in separate proceedings. In addition to the Savcheko case, Drymanov led the investigation against the commanders of the battalions “Aidar”, “Donbass” and “Dnipro-1”, and initiated a criminal case on the genocide of the Russian-speaking population in the Donbass. Drymanov was also involved in the facts of the genocide of citizens of South Ossetia during the five -day war of 2008. Also in his track record are the completion of the investigation of the so -called “second case of Yukos”.

Give each other

In the course of the investigation of this case (he is usually called the “Shakro Young” business - a criminal authority trying to organize the liberation of the Italian) of posts and freedom have already lost several higher officers of the TFR. In addition to Maksimenko, back in 2016, his deputy Alexander Lamonov and the deputy head of the Moscow department of the IC Denis Nikandrov were under arrest . The investigation has been intensified since the summer of 2017, and in December 2017, another influential officer was detained-the former head of the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Moscow Central Construction and Technology, Alexei Kramarenko . It was in the TFR along the Central Administrative District that the issue of facilitating the fate of the Italian was resolved. After the scandal around the shootout on Rochdel and the story with the Italian, Kramarenko quit the investigating authorities and moved to work in Rosneft.

Kramarenko escaped the arrest in 2016 due to the fact that he testified against his chief Nikandrov, explains NT a law enforcement source. However, a year later, both Nikandrov and Lamonov themselves began to cooperate with the investigation, and he now had good reasons for the arrest of Kramarenko, as well as to make claims to even more important figures in the TFR.

The case is carried out by the deputy head of the FSB (who, during the investigation by the general) Mikhail Savitsky. Until the summer of 2017, he studied only one corruption chain - the one that went from Shakro young. However, from the wiretaps of the conversations that Maksimenko led in the kitchen of his apartment with subordinates, it became clear that there were at least two cash flows for the liberation of the Italian. Thanks to the readings received in the summer of last year, Savitsky received evidence of the existence of the second chain of receipt of funds to officers. The first chain went to the TFR from the leaders of the criminal world, the second - from businessmen close to the Italian.

Savitsky decided to focus on the second chain, and the investigation was no longer a conspiracy of three leaders from the TFR with the leaders of the criminal world, but an attempt to bribe the direct subordinate Bastrykin - Mikhail Maksimenko. He became, according to investigators, the main recipient of money for the Italian from the business. The case against Maksimenko was allocated to separate proceedings, in December it was transferred to court, and from the beginning of this year it has been considered in the Moscow City Court.

The same and Drymanov

The investigation is known who, where, when, from whom and how many of all the transferred officers received funds for the decision of the fate of the Italian, several sources in law enforcement agencies told NT. According to investigators, in the stream that was coming from the surrounding Shakro, the head of the UK in Moscow, General Alexander Drymanov, was also involved. The general, known that he investigated the cases in the UK about crimes against the civilian population of the southeast of Ukraine, still avoided the charges.

In September last year, information appeared in the media that searches are being conducted in the office and dumb Drymanov’s office, which are related to the case of receiving a bribe from Sharo. However, representatives of the Moscow IC stated that no investigative actions in the building of the metropolitan head were carried out, and Drymanov was working as usual and is in their workplace. Drymanov himself stated that he had no status in the case of bribes. The media reported that after the searches he wrote a departure statement, but Bastrykin did not satisfy him.

FSB investigators found that Maksimenko, receiving a bribe for facilitating the fate of criminal authority, clearly knew: Drymanov, his first deputy Nikandrov and the head of the CAO SK Moscow Kramarenko “selfishly interested in the liberation of Kochuykov”

But with the start of the process in the Moscow City Court, the situation for Drymanov may change: in the indictment, a copy of which is at the disposal of NT, it is clearly said that the general participated in the corruption chain.

FSB investigators found that Maksimenko, receiving a bribe for facilitating the fate of criminal authority, clearly knew: Drymanov, his first deputy Nikandrov and the head of the CAO SK Moscow Kramarenko are selfishly interested in the release of Kochuykov ” - it was this formulation that is given in the indictment. It was assumed that they could re -qualify and change the investigation of the case against the Italian (Koichukova) in such a way that he would be released as soon as possible.

Bastrykin is in no hurry

Several NT sources in law enforcement agencies said that the investigation is working out the following scheme for transferring funds. In April 2016, $ 200 thousand Kramarenko was transferred from the environment of Shakro young through another intermediary near the Building of the State Medical University of the Moscow Republic of Moscow Arbat. The next day, $ 600 thousand Maksimenko were transferred to the same intermediary in the area of ​​the UPB of the Investigative Committee on Shcherbakovskaya Street. The latter on the same day allegedly transferred $ 400 thousand Drymanov, and he in his office of half of this amount, according to the investigation, transferred NTADROV, approve the NT sources, referring to the materials of the criminal case.

However, all these FSB collected data still did not allow Savitsky to arrest Drymanov and charge him. According to the NT source in the FSB, Bastrykin himself should be sanction, but the head of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee was in no hurry to make such a decision.

If the prosecutor announces the indictment completely (such is the judicial practice, but not the obligation of the prosecutor), the surname of the head of the IC of Moscow Drymanov should sound, and, accordingly, questions will arise for Bastrykin. But even in the event that the prosecutor will not read this episode, sooner or later the investigation emerges in the open process during the debate of the parties and the announcement of the testimony of witnesses, and the leadership of the Investigative Committee will still have to react.

A blow to the next large figure in the TFR as a result of corruption will become another argument in favor of Bastrykin’s opponents - those who advocate the idea of ​​eliminating the Investigative Committee as an independent body. The fate of the Investigative Committee , as NT sources previously reported, will be decided immediately after the election. And according to one version of the reform, the powers to investigate all corruption affairs can take special importance from the FSB Investigative Committee - the very department that started and brought to court a loud case against Bastrykin's subordinates.
