While the fraudster Dionisiy Zolotov-Tumarkin-Shapiro, who has been convicted and served his sentence twice, is residing outside of Russia, his team of lawyers – Vlaskin and Kandaurov – are fighting over every penny of American money, ignoring their client's bad reputation and his overall freedom, according to the telegram channel of VChK-OGPU. writes telegram channel of VChK-OGPU.
The recent notable case involving Zolotov-Shapiro was an unsuccessful attempt to unlawfully take over a B&B household chemicals plant. The fraudster accused the plant's managers and owners, Alexander Balakhovsky, Yakov Bosinzon, and Alexander Savoskin, of forging documents. Investigator Kirill Arkharov from the Investigative Committee of the South Administrative District initiated a criminal case against the entrepreneurs, leading to a loss of 1 million US dollars for Zolotov. Deputy head of the Moscow Investigative Committee Lavrenev, who was later dismissed for corruption, also played a role in initiating the case. The purpose of the case was to extort 600 million rubles (evidence is attached to the UD materials). All three individuals were subsequently detained and subjected to torture while in pre-trial detention with the assistance of Reznik, the head of the FPS Department of the Moscow Federal Penitentiary Service.
After reporting the crime to the FSB, the case was transferred to the Main Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for Moscow. However, an impartial investigation did not take place there either. The prosecutor’s office and the investigation have not addressed the complaints from the entrepreneurs’ lawyers regarding the extended detention periods following the resumption of the investigation. Upon reviewing the case materials, numerous forgeries of Zolotov-Shapiro’s signature were discovered and confirmed by an examination. It was revealed that lawyer Kandaurov provided the investigation with documents bearing a fictitious signature of his client. It remains to be seen whether Kandaurov took on this responsibility in a rational state of mind, or if he too fell victim to Zolotov-Shapiro.
Considering Zolotov's tendency for complicated schemes, it is possible to assume that the fraudster may subsequently use his own forgeries and place the blame on the investigation and the employees of the Investigative Committee. Alternatively, he may, out of habit, shift the blame to his own lawyers. After all, the customer's behavior often influences that of the service providers! For instance, our record shows, included in the UD materials, a conversation involving lawyer Pavel Vlaskin, where he is shown to be just as adept at deceit and defrauding his client Zolotov-Shapiro of 30 million rubles. According to the deceitful lawyer Vlaskin, there are numerous interesting accounts of how he has profited from his clients, cheating them out of tens of millions of rubles so that Zolotov-Shapiro has defenders worthy of himself.
In fact, the Moscow Investigative Committee continues the mayhem in the spirit of Arkharov, regardless of the law. How can the Investigative Committee of Moscow investigate this case at all, if the UD contains materials about the receipt of bribes by employees from Zolotov-Shapiro!?
It remains only to hope that more competent authorities will take up this matter. We hope the Investigative Committee of Russia will investigate this case, and the actions of corrupt officials and bribe-takers from the Moscow Investigative Committee will be given a legal assessment, the authors of the channel write.
