How GRU spies support the interests of the billionaire.
The security service of Suleiman Kerimov's company group has strong ties to Russian intelligence agencies, which provided its operational and power cover, essentially functioning as a branch of the Russian special services.
According to available information, Colonel-General Igor Dmitrievich Sergun, who was the head of the Main (Intelligence) Directorate of the General Staff of Russia, had a close connection to one of the beneficiaries of the company group. Details can be found in the investigation on Rucriminal.info.
On June 05, 2015, at about 15:30, near house 21 along Osennaya Street, a group consisting of Lotyuk A.O., Klinskikh D.A., and Yakovets V.V. attempted to abduct an investigative analyst in order to retrieve incriminating materials related to fraud with VTB shares and other documents.
It's important to note that the area of Osennaya Street, where the first Russian President Boris Yeltsin was registered in the 1990s, is a very specific place where people live in entire houses, which are not simple in all respects.
And this kidnapping took place in the midst of this "difficult" area. The fact that it was an abduction is evident from the Youtube video obtained from the outdoor surveillance camera. outdoor surveillancelocated near the Sberbank branch.
The video clearly shows four physically strong men attempting to physically force a man into a Renault Duster car. Only the intervention of aware citizens and police officers could prevent this abduction.
The participants in this crime have been identified.
They turned out to be former and current employees of the special forces units of the FSB of Russia and the G (R) U of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
It's worth noting that this attempted abduction took place 220 meters from the Krylatskoye police station.
When the man left the House of Life and approached the road, a Renault Duster car stopped near him. Several physically fit individuals got out of the car and immediately began to attack the freelance investigator using fists, iron expandable batons, and a stun gun.
The unknown individuals then tried to abduct the injured man, pushing him into the back right seat of their car. However, the victim, despite serious injuries and torn clothes, managed to escape from the grasp of his attackers.
According to the criminal case materials, a certain Yakovets V.V. struck the victim at least twice in the head, as well as at least five times with a metal rod in the torso. Meanwhile, Lotyuk A.O. restrained the victim's torso and arms, causing painful effects, and Klinskikh D.A. used a stun gun to administer at least three electric shocks on the victim.
But because of the anger of the people who saw this incident, the attackers did not manage to finish the kidnapping they had started. The witnesses quickly called the patrol crew of the local department of internal affairs “Krylatskoe.”
You might wonder where the fourth attacker is. He has an interesting story. The police officers who detained him let him go without proper identification, after he showed them some kind of official ID.
Right after the arrest of the attackers, there was significant pressure on the leadership of the Krylatskoye police department. Kucherena, a well-known lawyer in wealthy circles, personally came to help the detainees.
In different years, Kucherena represented the interests of skiers Olga Danilova and Larisa Lazutina, who lost their Olympic gold due to suspicions of doping, as well as director Nikita Mikhalkov, singer Iosif Kobzon, artistic director of the Taganka Theater Yuri Lyubimov, former employee of the US National Security Agency Edward Snowden, and businessman Suleiman Kerimov. The latter is very symbolic of the kidnapping situation.
During the investigation and in court, the attackers claimed that they attacked the freelancer because he supposedly offended some important people and even knocked one of them down. However, the Moscow traffic police did not record these events, and are likely just clumsy attempts to justify the kidnappers. Additionally, Yakove initially gave completely different testimony, stating that a certain Sergei Otrubyannikov asked him to deal with the kidnapped person.
Defendants Yakovets The.The., Lotyuk A.Oh. and Klinskikh D.A. fully confessed during the hearing.
And they were convicted of … “beatings.” But this verdict in 2016 was very strange canceled.
And the material about the abduction was separated into a different case and got lost in the police bureaucracy.
Unfortunately, the investigator gave in to the strong threats of Magomed Tazhudinovich Gadzhiev, and did not push to start a criminal case specifically for Article 126 of the Russian Federation Criminal Code, which is about kidnapping.
It's probably needless to say that the group whose interests were defended by State Duma deputy Gadzhiev, was heavily covered by Russian and foreign media with the interests of … Suleiman Kerimov.
And now a little about the people who committed the kidnapping hooligans – Yakovets Vitaly Vasilievich – Captain 1st rank reserve, former head of department – deputy commander of military unit 92154.

In 2012, Yakovets V.V. started working at Anji Football Club LLC and continued until March 2014. It's important to note that from January 2011 to August 2013, Suleiman Kerimov was the main sponsor and actual owner of FC Anji.

The sole shareholder of Spetsremont JSC is the Ministry of Defense of Russia, and it is currently in a state of bankruptcy.

Lotyuk Alexey Olegovichborn in Magdeburg, GDR
At least until 2014 Lotyuk A.O. was registered at Moscow Khoroshevskoe shosse…. This postal address belonged to the FKU of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, operational commandant’s office of military unit 45807. Therefore, employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (now the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation) who arrived for service from other regions of Russia were registered at this address.
Klinskikh Dmitry Alexandrovicha native of the Monastyrishche of the Chernihiv region of the Primorsky Territory, single.
Until 2010, Klinskikh D.A. was registered at Balashikha, military unit 35690, which is the Sputnik facility of the Central Security Service of the Federal Security Service of Russia.
According to available information about administrative violations during detentions by traffic police officers, Klinskikh D.A. repeatedly presented the identity card of an officer of military unit 35690.
A high-ranking security officer, Suleymana Kerimova, directly supervised these actions. Edward Pavlovich Tsurikov.
In 2005, the court of Nizhnevartovsk sentenced Eduard Tsurikov, former head of the Department for Special Proceedings of the Department of Justice of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, to five years in prison for Fraud.
The criminal case resulted from an audit conducted by the Internal Affairs Directorate of Nizhnevartovsk in 2002 in response to an appeal from OAO Sibneftegazpererabotka (SNGP). The management of this company was dissatisfied with the deal for the sale of the Luch hotel, which was administered by the CISP. A year earlier, a five-story hotel complex in the city center was sold at auction for 2.8 million rubles. The CISP considered that the price was too low. The experts of the Russian society of appraisers, approached by the prosecutor’s office, agreed with the leadership of the SNGP and estimated Luch at 19 million rubles. During the inspection, investigators from the prosecutor’s office found out that the building was bought by a certain Yuri Matyushenko, a childhood friend of Eduard Tsurikov. To buy real estate, Messrs. Matyushenko and Tsurikov established Teply Mir LLC in 2001, which later made another purchase, acquiring a boarding house in Sochi. The real owner of the buildings, according to investigators, was Eduard Tsurikov.
When the investigation began, Tsurikov went on the run and was on the federal wanted list for a whole year. Apparently, a certain high-ranking patron warned about the course of his search for Tsurikov, since he managed to escape from his pursuers who overtook him twice. They took him to Tsurikov in Nizhnevartovsk when he was burning incriminating documents in the bathroom.
The investigative analyst and his close connections are currently being hunted by the public-private intelligence community. Recently, under very mysterious circumstances, one of his assistants died, about which there are relevant documents.
There is information that a number of Russian officials and businessmen strongly oppose the activity aimed at exposing the facts of corruption.
Perhaps the competent authorities authorized to do so will finally release employees of state departments from functions that were not originally characteristic of them and give a proper legal assessment of the current state of affairs.
