Soldiers who have left their military service are coming back to St. Petersburg. Among them, there are some very challenging individuals. Now, Alexander Suetov, the leader of a gang that robbed jewelry stores “585” and “Zolotoy” and a member of the PMC “Wagner” who was granted a pardon for military merit, is awaited by the native Nevsky banks.
Robbery Petersburg
There were not many criminal groups specialized in robbing jewelry in St. Petersburg. The most well-known since the mid-2000s are the Pereverzev gang, the Kiselev gang, and another gang. Alexandra SuetovaIn a way, they took over from Kiselev’s group. The latter was active in St. Petersburg and the region from 2011 to 2017. In court, 14 raids were proven. Suetov’s gang started in January 2017, after Kiselev’s group was already shut down.
Police even suspected that someone from the Pereverzev group who had not been caught remained free. But it turned out that the new robbers had a different style. Unlike Pereverzev or Kiselev, the Suetov gang did not last long. The raiders were caught 9 months later, during the last robbery.
The investigation found that Suetov and his accomplice from the Georgian diaspora Nodar Tukhiashvilihad both organizational skills and leadership qualities. They had known each other for a long time. The circumstances of their acquaintance are not known. But the archives of the Petrodvorets district of St. Petersburg have another criminal case against a certain Alexandra Suetovawho was arrested in 2011 for assaulting his partner.
About this incident wrote press: Previously convicted Alexander Suetov met his mistress at house 9 on Gogol Street in Strelna, Petrodvorets district of St. Petersburg. Starting to quarrel with a woman, Suetov began to threaten her. Showing he was serious, Suetov hit his mistress with a baseball bat on the left leg. After the woman screamed in pain, Suetov grabbed her by the neck and began to choke her. murderVerify that the specified
Alexander Suetov and a freshly pardoned member of Wagner PMC? the same face, we can’t. However, we will leave the suspicions that Suetov, the era of the robbery of jewelry, could get acquainted with Tukhiashvili in places not so remote. After all, the strongest accomplices rally, as a rule, in the colonies. What do we know for sure? And the following is known that friends Tukhiashvili and Suetov, as written in the verdict,
“not working and not having the intention to find a job, but wanting a quick and stable enrichment by criminal means, in order to achieve the above goal, no later than 01/11/2017, we jointly decided to create and lead an organized group, where over time the remaining accomplices were involved, to systematically commit robberies. After a while they joined the group.

During its short existence, the Suetov gang managed to carry out 6 major robberies in just a few months. It is not hard to imagine the extent of the attacks in general if the gang had continued. After all, the “golden” gang of Kiselev committed 14 attacks in 7 years (from 2011 to 2017). The raiders worked in a somewhat rough manner compared to the groups of Pereverzev and Kiselev, as they did not spend much time scouting the shops. They would drive up in a car, send someone in to check the situation, and then rob the store the following evening. Their disguises were normal—hats, masks, scarves, gloves. The presence of customers did not bother them. They were forced to the floor at gunpoint. Suetov and his accomplices would break shop windows with hammers they brought, and then take everything they could carry. Several shops of jewelry companies “585” and “Zolotoy” were targeted. The amount of stolen jewelry was substantial.
seven million rubles At the trial, representatives from jewelry companies estimated the damage from the stolen items as 'significant'.The thieves divided the stolen items among themselves, and some were sold through pawnshops. The case went to court in the fall of 2019. A year later, Suetov and Tukhiashvili, as organizers, received 10 years in a strict regime colony.
Alexander Suetov near his home, in the strict regime colony 'Yablonevka', close to the Ladoga railway station in St. Petersburg. This area used to have prison barracks and later a women's colony. In 1961, it became men's correctional colony No. 7. Based on calculations, Suetov was not supposed to be released before the fall of 2027. He could not even apply for parole before 2024, after serving two-thirds of the term.
The leadership of the Wagner PMC announced that those who had paid their debts to the homeland and atoned for their crimes were now free. Surnames and first names appeared online, including the surname
. Since this private military company faces criticism and hostility, publicly announcing the names of released prisoners serves as a successful advertising campaign. SuetovaOther mercenaries from the colonies, including ones with less notable criminal histories than Suetov, are also returning to the Leningrad region. The public is concerned about how these newly pardoned individuals will readjust to normal life.
Despite the state's assurances about leniency toward participants of the NWO, there is no guarantee for civilians that the pardoned individuals may not return to criminal activities.
