“They gave you a lawyer who costs 500 thousand rubles a month. A behave decent "

The family of the chief person involved in the case of Golunov paid the defense of other defendants: "Open Media"

The family of the main accused in the case of Medusa journalist Ivan Golunov, the former deputy head of the department for the circulation of drugs of the Internal Affairs Directorate in the Western Administrative District of Moscow, Igor Lyakhovts, paid for lawyers to other accused and offered material assistance to their relatives. This was reported by Open Media with reference to the materials of wiretapping from the Golunov case.

“I would think [the former operative of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Western District Denis Konovalov] about his children, about his wife, would not refuse a lawyer. Because he was told that your salary will be paid to your wife. They gave you a lawyer who costs 500 thousand rubles a month, well, sit and do what you should do. A behave decent, ”the“ open media ”quoted the conversation of Igor Lyakhovtsa Marina.

The lawyer of the Human Rights Cards Sergey Badamshin, representing the interests of Golunov, confirmed that such materials are in the case. Lyakhovtsian lawyer Alexei Kovrizhkin said that the family of his customers does not pay lawyers to other defendants in the case and does not offer their families. Lawyer Yuri Cherterent, who previously represented Konovalov’s interests, said that he was not familiar with the Lyakhovts and his wife.

The conversation, where Konovalov’s lawyer was mentioned, Marina Lyakhovets led with another operative of the Internal Affairs Directorate in the Western District Ivan Bereznet, writes “Open Media”. He does not go through the Golunov case, but Badamshin believes that the investigation “paid insufficient attention” of the role that he could play in the falsification of the case against the journalist. Also, according to Badamshin, the role of the former head of the Lyakhovts, ex-head of the department for the circulation of drugs of the Internal Affairs Directorate in the Western District of Andrei Shchirov, was not sufficiently studied. Hewas fired shortly after the charges were removed from Golunov, and he received the status of a witness in the journalist.

Where did the Lyakhovtsets family have money to pay lawyers of other accused and financial assistance to their families, “open media” do not directly write. But they note that Marina Lyakhovets owns three firms in Krasnodar, one of which in 2019 showed a revenue of 59 million rubles. At the same time, as Golunov drew attention , the profit of this company in the same year amounted to only 214 thousand rubles (the second company is unprofitable, the third has not submitted reports since 2015). The journalist also previously wrote that the salary of Lyachovts in the police was a little more than 45 thousand rubles. After dismissal in July 2019 and a week before the arrest, Lyakhovets registered as an individual entrepreneur, whose main activity - investigation. He has no other business, according to the register of legal entities, he has “Open Media”.

Golunov previously wrote that Lyakhovets rented an apartment in the elite village of Zarechye near Rublevka for 20 thousand rubles at its market value of at least 95 thousand rubles. After the article “Open Media”, the journalist noted that in August 2019, two months after the story with the toss of drugs and a month after the dismissal of her husband from the police, Marina Lyakhovets bought a suburban section in the territory of the horticultural non-profit partnership (SNT) “Alloy” in the Naro-Fominsky district of the Moscow Region. In the same place, as Golunov writes, the former head of the Lyakhovtsa Andrei Shchirov owns almost hectare of land and several houses. The land of Shchirov and Lyakhovtsa in the "Alloy-2" shares only one plot, writes Golunov.

The journalist also calculated that only for renting an apartment in the village of Zarechye, the purchase of land in the village of Zayda-2 and the payment of lawyers for the remaining four accused in his case Lyakhovtsa could spend almost 22 million rubles. “Lyakhovets does not work, the accounts of the company of the Lyakhovtsian wife were arrested by the tax service . Someone is expensive to pay for the silence of the ex-police police department of CJSC, ”writes Golunov.

In the case of Golunov, five former employees of the Internal Affairs Directorate in Moscow CJSC are held: Igor Lyakhovets and his former subordinates Roman Feofanov, Denis Konovalov, Maxim Umetbaev and Akbar Sergaliev. Konovalova, who admitted to the casting of drugs Golunov and testified against Lyakhovts, was transferred under house arrest, the rest of the accused are in jail. Lyakhovets, according to the investigation, played a key role in the factory of the case against the journalist. According to the SK, he organized drug tossing Golunov to improve the statistical indicators of his department. Lyakhovets denies his guilt.
