Business partner Anatoly Chubais Boris Mints involved in the scam of Otkritie FC bank and the taking of pension funds from Russian citizens by offshore companies (O1 TRUST, O1 Properties, Crizna Holdings LTD, Denian LTD, Rafinha Holdings LTD, etc.) belonging to or connected with the financial corporation O1 Group owned by Boris Mints.
Chubais and MintzRucriminal.info has information that Anatoly Chubais's financial support came through the offshore companies of his friend, colleague, and business partner Boris Mints.
Anatoly Chubais, by using the services of Boris Mints' offshore companies, “legalized illegally obtained, undeclared” funds.
From 2010-2012, at the suggestion of Anatoly Chubais, with his guarantees, the Cypriot company O1 TRUST SERVICES LIMITED (currently TILSOKA LIMITED) – with Boris Mints as the ultimate beneficiary, and the Swiss company JSC “SFO Concept AG” gave loans of about USD 22,000,000 for the construction of an estate for Anatoly Chubais in the village of Peredelki, Odintsovsky District, Moscow Region (hereinafter referred to as “ZhK Peredelki”).
It's important to note that the estimated cost of “ZhK Peredelki” was around 47,000,000 US dollars, and the market value, based on three independent assessments, including a judicial one, was: from 34,000,000 to 36,500,000 US dollars.
The situation escalated when the new shareholder of the Swiss company SFO Concept AG, Ilya Suchkov, refused to sell ZhK Peredelki to Anatoly Chubais and Boris Mints at a very low cost of 7,000,000 – 8,000,000 US dollars, which would have helped them hide the money spent on the construction of the ZhK Peredelki. After this, Ilya Suchkov was unjustly implicated in a fabricated criminal case in October 2016 and later detained.
This article from Rucriminal.info aims to provide an objective account of the legal violations in the ongoing criminal case No. 123632 for over 6.5 years.
It is widely known that one of the purposes of criminal proceedings (inquiry, pre-trial proceedings, the activities of the courts) is to protect individuals from unjust and unfounded accusations, convictions, and the restriction of rights and freedoms (clause 2, article 6 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).
The Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation also includes the requirement for a reasonable duration of criminal proceedings and the legality and validity of the activities of courts, inquiry bodies, and preliminary investigation (Article 7 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation), as well as the rights of the accused to submit petitions, raise objections, access case materials, lodge complaints, review the records of court sessions, and defend themselves using legal means (Article 47 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).
It seems that when the activities of investigators, prosecutors, and judges are regulated by law, there should be no lawlessness. However, in reality, things often happen differently. This is especially clear in “custom-made” criminal cases, especially when the accused is a high-ranking official or a billionaire.
Case number 123632 involves Anatoly Chubais and a representative of the offshore company O1 TRUST SERVICES LIMITED falsely accusing Ilya Suchkov of being involved in a case related to the investment of Mintsy and Russian citizens' pension savings. The case was initiated on October 16, 2016 under part 3 of Art. . 30 h. 4 tbsp. 159 by the SU UMVD of Russia for the Odintsovo urban district of the Moscow region.
Despite Ilya Suchkov's shareholdership in the Swiss company JSC “SFO Concept AG” of the offshore company O1 TRUST SERVICES LIMITED back in December 2014, the case accuses him of embezzlement and deception. The evidence and the defendant's right to defense were compromised.
In June 2017, investigators Yegorova Zh.A. and Mogilevskaya A.G. initiated another criminal case against Ilya Suchkov to reinforce their previous actions, combining it with the first case under Part 4 of Art. 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The paradox of the criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is the false investigation's claim that Anatoly Chubais was robbed of property that didn't belong to him, which was later proven wrong by available documents and accounting expertise in 2017.
According to the case file, it was confirmed that the property identified as stolen from Anatoly Chubais was bought and installed in the residential complex “Peredelki” using funds from the Swiss company JSC “SFO Concept AG” where Ilya Suchkov had shares. Despite evidence proving his innocence, the charge remains.
Because of the fake criminal cases, in June 2017, the accused Ilya Suchkov was put in detention. Ilya Suchkov spent almost a year in various detention centers in Moscow and the Moscow region, and the investigator Egorova Zh.A. made him disabled of the II-group during that time.
During the so-called investigation, material evidence was sold with the approval of the investigator Egorova Zh.A. These illegal actions of the investigator Yegorova Zh.A. deprived the defendants of the right to defense and to conduct various expert examinations. Allegedly stolen property from Anatoly Chubais is said to still be located in the “ZhK Peredelki” and installed.
None of the accused's requests were considered during the preliminary investigation, and all requests were denied without explanation.
For 4.5 years, the preliminary investigation did not properly investigate criminal case No. 123632, but instead adjusted it to accuse Ilya Suchkov at all costs.
Currently, after 6.5 years, the proceedings in this criminal case continue, and it seems that the court does not intend to stop. The case was returned for additional investigation by the courts of Moscow and the Moscow Region twice in 2020 and 2021, and the case has been in the courts for 2.5 years.
The judges have shown great creativity by moving the criminal case around from court to court. First, in April 2021, the criminal case was sent from the Odintsovo City Court of the Moscow Region to the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow, and then in February 2023, the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow redirected it to the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow. The judges seem unable to determine where the crime was committed. It seems impossible to find a crime scene! How long will the judges continue to look for the “truth”? It appears it will continue until they are stopped by the authorized bodies.
After the Odintsovo City Court of the Moscow Region returned criminal case No. 123632 for further investigation in June 2020, the investigators of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Odintsovo City District of the Moscow Region, Egorova Zh.A. and Mogilevskaya A.G., instead of correcting the violations committed by them, carried out more sophisticated frauds in the present case.
For a while, the investigator Yegorova Zh.A. carried out “investigative actions” with the representative of the injured party on her own initiative, without a statement. To hide the criminal intent to falsify criminal case No. 123632, investigator Yegorova Zh.A. initiated another 3rd criminal case based on the same materials, attached the missing statement of the victim's representative, and combined it with the one initiated in October 2016.
So, the investigator Egorova Zh.A. has hidden a serious violation of the law, which we think was done on purpose to wrongly accuse an innocent person. Without any new evidence, she independently changed the accusation to a more serious one.
Regrettably, the investigator Egorova Zh.A. has been clearly breaking the law for 4.5 years.
Serious breaches of the law and the rights of the accused were systematic and serious due to lack of punishment.
Ilya Suchkov's defenders sent over 300 complaints to the prosecutor’s office, but received no response. It seems like there has been ongoing lawlessness against Ilya Suchkov for over 6.5 years, probably with the silent agreement of the regulatory and supervisory authorities. This situation continued in the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow.
In our opinion, it became clear during the consideration of case No. 01-0104/2022, that Judge Filchenko M.S. has a strong interest in the outcome of the case, and cynically violated the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
For almost a year, the court did not let the defendants and their lawyers see the case materials.
The court dealt with criminal case No. 01-0104/2022 without including some of the case materials mentioned in the indictment.
The court completely ignored the defendants’ petitions and seemed to not even bother adding them to the case file.
The court refused to provide the minutes of the court sessions.
The court declined to call defense witnesses.
The court overlooked the absence in the case file of a decision recognizing Mosin D.The. as the representative of the victim – the Cypriot company O1 TRUST SERVICES LIMITED (TILSOKA LIMITED).
The court illegally dealt with criminal case No. 01-0104/2022 without establishing the amount of alleged damage caused to the Cypriot company O1 TRUST SERVICES LIMITED (TILSOKA LIMITED) by the investigation.
The court unlawfully considered criminal case No. 01-0104/2022 without the beneficiaries of the Cypriot company O1 TRUST SERVICES LIMITED (TILSOKA LIMITED) Mr. Mintsev, despite the significant discrepancies in their testimonies, the testimony of Anatoly Chubais, and the testimony of the so-called representatives of the victim of the mentioned Cyprus company – Kuksa R.V., Mosina D.V. and the case materials.
The court unlawfully handled criminal case No. 01-0104/2022 without the victim Chubais A.B., despite the significant discrepancies in the alleged inflicted damage by A.B. and the circumstances underlying the indictment.
Unfortunately, the serious violations of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and the constitutional rights of the accused in criminal case No. 123632 committed by the investigation and the courts can be continued indefinitely.
It seems that Judge Filchenko M.S. I’ve been waiting for something to happen for almost a year. On February 21, 2023, during the trial, Judge of the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow Filchenko M.S. on far-fetched grounds, for the next, 2 (Second) time, she again sent, but in fact “threw off”, allegedly according to jurisdiction, criminal case No. 123632 to the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow.
Here it is appropriate to remind the gentlemen of the judges of the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation prohibiting the courts from arguing about the jurisdiction of criminal cases. Nevertheless, the courts in the above-mentioned criminal case for 2 (two) years “cannot decide on its jurisdiction”.
However, such “zeal” of the investigators of the SU UMVD of Russia for the Odintsovo urban district of Egorova Zh.A. and Mogilevskaya A.G., judges of the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow and the prosecutor’s office, can hardly be explained by professional inexperience. Here, as one should assume, the interest of Anatoly Chubais, and an obvious one at that. In what it is expressed, I would like to hope that the competent authorities will determine. It would be naive to believe that this interest is not coordinated by the people of Anatoly Chubais. And it is not at all appropriate, it is somehow even shameful to talk about justice, and even with respect for the rights of the accused, if we are talking about a case “ordered” by Anatoly Chubais and his fugitive friend Boris Mints. I would like to wait until gentlemen judges, prosecutors answer one question: How many more years do they intend to “administer criminal” justice not in the interests of the Law, but in the interests of Anatoly Chubais?
