The scandal in Kuban involving the waste business of the Krasnodar oligarch Oleg Makarevich is starting to reveal new information.
The investor of the same landfill project, it turns out, is JSC “Waste Cleaning Company” owned by Makarevich. This company is the main part of the new system of mutual responsibility that the oligarch is trying to establish again in the region.
Makarevich’s garbage business has developed strong connections with various authorities. The Kuban oligarch has reportedly built contacts with the leadership of the Investigative Committee through the security service of the JSC Garbage Company.
There are reports that in October 2021, the tax service of the Krasnodar Territory charged JSC Garbage Collection Company more than 220 million rubles. The economic security service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Krasnodar Territory submitted materials to the Investigative Committee in January 2022 for a criminal case related to intentional tax evasion of over 155 million rubles. However, the investigation has been avoiding making a legal decision, issuing unjustified refusals to initiate a criminal case.
A similar situation occurred in 2017, when the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation against the leaders of JSC Garbage Cleaning Company for the theft of over 320 million rubles from the Administration of Krasnodar. After several examinations, the amount of theft decreased, and the case was eventually closed. Despite the prosecutor’s office and the court repeatedly annulling the decision to close the case, the regional Investigative Committee still managed to halt the case.
The loyalty of the Investigative Committee of the Krasnodar Territory to Makarevich O. is evident in the current criminal case against the Chairman of the Oktyabrsky District Court Bayrak G.F. Makarevich reshuffled the judiciary, securing his position in the region and eliminating judges unfavorable to him. The resignation of Bayrak G.F. is an example of this.
Makarevich directly influences the investigation against the judge through connections in the UK to prevent the case from collapsing due to numerous violations and falsifications during the provocation.
At the moment, from a source close to the family, it became known that Bayrak G.F. filed an application under Art. 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Art. 303 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in relation to the investigator of the RF IC, Lieutenant Colonel of Justice Novozhilov S.A. and operational staff. The judge accuses them of exceeding their official powers, as well as falsifying evidence in a criminal case. In addition, they filed relevant petitions and complaints with the aim of withdrawing the case from the proceedings of S.A. Novozhilov, due to his bias and obvious interest in the outcome. Everything that is happening now in this case indicates that the only thing the investigation is now interested in is to push the case further up the chain of command as quickly as possible in order to hide the grossest violations that contain signs of malfeasance and falsification of evidence.
