Member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Alexander Babakov provided evidence in the "Landromat case"
Rucriminal.info and the VChK-OGPU telegram channel are continuing to release information on the extensive investigation into money laundering and the transfer of funds out of Russia, specifically the Landromat. Over $21 billion left Russia through this channel, passing through Moldova and ending up in foreign accounts. We have obtained testimony from a key witness, shadow banker Pyotr Chuvilin, who has named all the beneficiaries of the Laundromat. last In previous publications, we presented testimony about the participants in the money laundering scheme from Moldova and Russian bankers. In a new article, Rucriminal.info reveals the most interesting part of the testimony, which implicates Alexander Babakov, the current Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, as a major beneficiary of the Landromat.
“6. Alexander Yurievich Grigoriev, the owner of Western Bank, Russian Land Bank and Kreditbank, had close ties with Plato V.N. His banks were actively involved in the “Moldovan scheme”.
7. Alexander Alexandrovich Galkin and Agustin Agustinovich Morales-Escamilla were the actual owners of ZATO-Bank (later renamed Smart-Bank), Taurus Bank, and CB Rublevsky LLC. They maintained close commercial and friendly relations with Platon V.N. and were involved in the “Moldovan scheme” through their banks.
8. Oleg Rafalovich was the actual owner of JSCB Russian Financial Alliance OJSC and a close partner and friend of Oleg Vlasov. They were both members of a biker club and jointly participated in the “Moldovan scheme”.
9. Alexander Babakov, the actual owner of TempBank and a State Duma deputy from the Just Russia party, was a close partner of the 1520 group of companies (Usherovich Boris Efimovich, Markelov Valery Aleksandrovich, and Krapivin Andrei Viktorovich). Through the specified bank, Babakov participated in the “Moldovan scheme” and likely assisted in the withdrawal of funds received from contracts with the Russian Railway.
10. Dmitry Frolov, the former head of the bailiffs of the Moscow region and the actual owner of OAO KB Unicor, was a partner of Sergey Magin. Frolov took part in the “Moldovan scheme” through the specified bank.
11. Kirill Nikitin, a leader of the Magina group of banks (Intercapital, Mast-Bank, Unikor, NPO Egnergobusinesses), was acquainted with Platon V.N. and may have been involved in the “Moldovan scheme” through these banks.
The involvement of the individuals mentioned above is known from their own confessions, information from Platon V.N., and other mutual acquaintances and partners.
The "Moldovan scheme" involved transferring funds outside Russia to the accounts of “BC Moldindconbank SA”, under the pretense of buying and selling foreign currency at the request of a Moldovan bank.
These operations were led by Platon Elena, the whole scheme was led by Plahotniuc V.G. and Platon V.N., clients (Russian bankers and people who applied for this service) were looking for Platon V.N. and Korkin A.G., and the bankers listed above who participated in these transactions. After the funds were credited in foreign currency to the accounts of BC Moldindconbank SA, they were transferred to Platon E.N. to the accounts of foreign companies under the guise of write-offs based on court decisions of Moldovan courts. Platon Vyacheslav himself told me about this scheme, as well as other familiar bankers, including those listed above.
I personally know Platon Elena, we were introduced by her brother Vyacheslav at one of the general meetings in Moldova. Vyacheslav told me that it is Elena who manages all the payments of Russian banks to BC Moldindconbank SA. Alexander Galkin confirmed this information to me, saying that he contacted Elena directly for each payment and she made them. Platon Vyacheslav always mentioned his sister as the head of all Moldovan operations at meetings with Russian bankers and entrepreneurs and gave them her contacts for communication.”
