Between secret gold and the lustful chairman of the government.
Yulia Uba, who leads the Ulyanovsk Region Tourism Industry Association, has been in a Philippine prison for almost two years. She reached out to the editors of the VChK-OGPU telegram channel and the Rucriminal.info website. She was arrested in Makati, Philippines, in February of the previous year. Russian authorities asked for assistance from local authorities to locate and extradite her back to her home country, where she was facing a criminal case. According to Ulyanovsk police, in October 2017, Yulia Uba, the owner of Alliance Tour LLC, allegedly used her position to steal 268,000 rubles from another tour operator, Svoi Tour and Travel LLC. She was accused of major fraud and put on the wanted list. After her capture in the Philippines, she was held in Bikutan migration prison, but her return to Ulyanovsk was delayed due to her lack of documents.
Julia has her own version of events, which resembles The Count of Monte Cristo. Rucriminal.info presents it with certain bills.
“I have spent 18 months in fear in the Bikutan Migration Prison in the Philippines …. The main reason that I will mention now may be hard for you to believe, BUT THIS IS TRUE – -!!!!! …
I used to walk the streets of Ulyanovsk, laugh, lead an active lifestyle, make plans, and like all of you, hope for the best, look to the future, and raise my son. I developed the tourism sector of our city and was a public figure. I had a good relationship with the Government of the Ulyanovsk region. I am just a simple woman and have never asked for anything beyond reason.
I lived among all of you for many years, grew as a person, studied, and worked.
My mother worked in the guardianship authorities all her life, and my father was a military man who served his international duty in Afghanistan. He received military awards, and he passed away in 2005. This has been a great loss.
After that, things started to go downhill.
I received several advances from Smekalin A.A., who held a high position in the Government of the Ulyanovsk Region. He was First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Ulyanovsk Region from December 1, 2016, and currently holds the position of Chairman of the Government of the Ulyanovsk Region. He was stalking me. He then made a specific offer – to become his mistress, and at the same time, to help with moving certain budgetary funds through my tourism industry connections. Many elaborate schemes were suggested. Many names were mentioned, including the former regional prosecutor Khurtin.
Smekalin A.A. had big plans for me and he clearly had his hopes set on me. I flatly rejected his personal advances, and even more so his so-called “business” proposal. One evening, after a city event, it escalated to forced travel out of town.
You should have seen how angry he was. He began to threaten me through his confidant Yevgeny Abramov. He claimed to have the Prosecutor and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in his pocket, and that he would make my life a living hell.
I'm a vulnerable woman, worried about my safety and the safety of my mother and son. In 2017, I quickly left Russia and moved to the Philippines. My relatives came with me. There, I planned to use my connections in the tourism industry. In 2018, I legally acquired an old company dating back to the time of former President Ferdinand Marcos. The previous Filipino owner, who was suffering from cancer, put the company up for sale.
The complete name of the Corporation:
MINERS ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES, INC Registration Number: 131917
Date of Registration :April 8, 1986
Like any law-abiding citizen, I applied to the Central Bank of the Philippines after Companies House (SEC) informed me that the company had 9 special accounts in 9 different world banks.
These are the 9 special accounts in different world banks:
one.
2. JP MORGAN BANK – ACCOUNT NUMBER IIIIII019
3. HSBC BANK – ACCOUNT NUMBER IIIIII469/ IIIIII275/ IIIIII741
4. BNP PARIBAS BANK—ACCOUND NUMBER IIIIIII288
5. BANK OF TOKIO MITSUBISHI—ACCOUNT NUMBER IIIIIII937
6. UBS BANK – ACCOUNT NUMBER IIIIIII114 with code MQ A IIIII
M
7. CITIBANK – ACCOUNT NUMBER IIIIII65 Client ID IIIIII
8. DOHA BANK LIMITED – ACCOUNT NUMBER IIIIIII933
9. RBTT MERCHANT BANK LIMITED—ACCOUNT NUMBER
IIIIII803
10. NORDEA BANK NORGE ASA—ACCOUNT NUMBER IIIIII209
The information I received was very surprising.
I went from a bad situation to a worse one.
It was reported that so-called “banking gold” was fixed on these accounts.
I didn't calm down and sent notifications to the banks, informing them that I am the owner and sole authorized signer for all financial documents. I notified them about the acquisition of the company.
At the same time, I made a will because I knew there might be threats. It didn't take long for the threats to come.
Time went by.
I was busy creating tourist routes around the country. Then, I was invited to one of the banks and decided to fly there in 2019. Other banks confirmed my legal ownership and expressed willingness to work together.
I made a significant decision, knowing the risks involved.
A few days later, a Filipino called me, who I had included as a nominal director in the company's documents according to the country's laws. He asked me to attend a business meeting the next day as I speak technical English. Without suspecting anything, I went to the scheduled meeting in a hotel's business wing.
As soon as I entered, I found strangers, including a Filipino I knew. Before I could understand, people wearing NBI masks rushed in and announced that there was a fraud involving an Australian's credit card. Despite my protests, everyone in the room, including me, was taken to the NBI office.
On the way out, we were recorded by television. Then I learned that there was a TV report claiming that a group of people from Russia wanted to withdraw millions of US dollars from the plastic card of an Australian citizen. But that is completely untrue, since such limits do not exist in the world.
No accusations were made against me personally.
On the 10th day, the local court decided to release me on bail with the condition that I couldn't leave the country. My friends posted the bail.
But just 2 hours before my release, second secretary of the Embassy R.F. Barmin A.R. rushed to the NBI office and claimed that it belonged to the Russian Federation, despite protests from the employee.
Upon my release, I went to retrieve my personal belongings and was shocked to find out that an Embassy employee had taken my passport.
I tried knocking and walking at the doors of the Embassy of the Russian Federation, but they were closed to me. The security refused to let me in.
A few days later, I learned that a criminal case had been initiated against me in Ulyanovsk, alleging that I stole 277,000 rubles. However, this is nonsense, as I have not been in Russia since 2017, but have constantly been in the Philippines.
First, they went to the Arbitration for the sake of appearance, sent three letters, and were refused. Then they transformed this civil case into a criminal one.
Unethical male directors.
According to the representative of the Embassy Sapegin I.Yu., an employee of the Embassy A.R. Barmin took my passport from me. But how did he get it!?
A month later, they finally allowed me in for an appointment at the R.F. FMS. An unknown citizen, whom I had never heard of, was also present and his passport was sent to the FMS. I did not sign anything. She sent it to three letters, grabbed a fake act from the table, and ran out of the building up the stairs, as if she had never run before.
It was out of desperation and powerlessness in the face of the situation. After that, I received threats from Barmin A.R. on my phone and the phones of my mother and son. He claimed that people from my Ulyanovsk hometown had contacted him and that people from the Government send their greetings, while promising that I would rot alive in prison. They are very pleased about the situation in the Philippines. Then he continued, saying that if I agree to cooperate with some foreigners, then I will not need anything, Barmin assured me by phone …
All my requests to return my passport or issue a new one were met with a mocking refusal. At that moment, I will not hide – I felt a malicious joy ringing in my ears from his indignation. I was mentally and physically exhausted by the whole situation. My health worsened. I gave up on everything and decided to ask, beg, and humiliate.
I won’t be anymore.
Come what may. Fair hopeless boiled in me
the hatred of a cornered man.
Several months passed – – my enemies waited. They were waiting for the delay in visas to gain weight.
Then, a few months later, the Migration Service came for me, as I was deliberately deprived of the opportunity to extend the visa regime due to the lack of a passport. . The employees told me that they received a written statement from the second secretary of the Embassy of R. F. Barmin A. R. in which he writes – I quote “in the territory of the Republic of the Philippines there is a citizen of R. F. who does not have an identity card and is wanted by the International Interpol with a warrant to arrest for serious crimes.
And they arrest me.
The arrest was attended by employees of the Embassy Sapegin I. Yu.
and Barmin A.R., as well as video filming by the Migration staff.
This happened on 02/06/2020.
I’ve been in prison hell for 18 months now. During this time, I have not seen a single official document against signature that would talk about the restriction of my rights and freedoms, and even more so about the warrant for the arrest of Interpol, to which the employees of the R.F.A. Embassy so fiercely refer. In fact, the Philippine authorities had only an artificially created fact of the absence of a passport, provoked by Barmin A. R. ..
I am humiliated, deprived of rights, freedom, and dying of hunger and disease. I am regularly abused and bullied by prison guards!!
People I ask you to hear me. !! Drop indifference!!
God has given us all such a great opportunity to change our lives!!
I never thought or imagined that life would throw me into such a whirlpool of events. Fateful events, now I want to fight, fight and fight again!! .
But I need your help. !!!…
I am not guilty of anything, I did not commit those crimes in which I am so inhumanly accused!!
Everything is sewn with white threads.
