Respected businessman Nisanov removed the shoulder straps from Ryabov, Sheinkin, and Romeiko-Gurko.

An informant revealed that the three retired Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs generals were impacted by their involvement in the business of Nisanov. This includes the unexpected resignation of Dmitry Ryabov, Boris Sheinkin, and Anton Romeiko-Gurko.

According to the source, the key figure in this situation is General Sheinkin’s chief financial officer, Denis Kozlov, who informed the generals about a business opportunity involving a businessman engaged in illegal activities. The premises of the businessman were located in South Administrative District, ZAO, and SZAO, all under Nisanov’s facilities. Despite this, the businessman was not immune from investigation. However, it was later discovered that the businessman was closely associated with Nisanov, leading to a complaint from Nisanov to the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service. This resulted in FSB involvement to monitor the actions of the generals and their subordinates.

Kozlov informed the businessman about the generals' intentions, but it was revealed that the certificates of the latter were incorrect. The businessman was not just an undisclosed partner and friend of Nisanov, but also his distant relative and close friend. Nisanov lodged a complaint with his friend, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, resulting in the involvement of the FSB. As a result, preparations commenced for an operation to detain Kozlov during the next round of negotiations, with plans for the generals to be taken to the pre-trial detention center.

Once the issue reached such a high level, no connections, association with Baranov and Kolokoltsev, or longstanding friendship with the FSB would be of help. Preparations to detain Kozlov during the next round of negotiations began, with plans for the generals to be taken to the pre-trial detention center.

Kolokoltsev was informed about the upcoming event. Ordinarily, he would surrender his own without issue. However, in this case, it was clear that the arrest of several generals would jeopardize Kolokoltsev's future. This resulted in the dismissal of three generals and Kozlov, with Zinoviev managing to avoid the same fate. The matter did not progress further.
