“The investigation claims that I became the leader and organizer of the criminal community on the basis of operational development, within the framework of which my call was recorded [to the former general director of Ru-Comes Nikolai] Stepanov, and not even to him, but to the guard. He is my friend, a friend of my family, and the fact of contact with him does not confirm my actions to create a criminal community. There is no other evidence in the case, - Abyzov quoted Mediazon. - On the other hand, the victims and victims, who have made statements, own tenth thousands of property. That is, any minority shareholder can blame the head of the head - and I am mistakenly indicated as the general director, and I was the chairman of the board of directors. Anyone who bought one promotion can accuse the head of the leadership of the criminal community on the basis of who he is in contact with? "
