The Country must know its anti-heroes! or Four questions officials don’t want to answer. Part 2.

I mentioned in my recent post that officials have reluctantly recognized that the man currently sitting in prison – Viktor Markelov – did not act alone as he could not have organized the sophisticated 5.4 billion ruble theft that Sergei Magnitsky exposed. They have promised us that they are investigating who stood behind Markelov and organized the theft and who else worked with them. They’ve said they want to find the stolen money. Let’s look a bit deeper at this issue:

Oleg Logunov – Head of the Legal Department of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation. (Before his transfer to the General Prosecutor’s Office he was Deputy Head of the Investigatory Committee of the Interior Ministry)

Mr. Logunov, oversaw the prosecution of Sergey Magnitskiy after Sergei testified that corrupt subordinates of Logunov, participated in the theft of 5.4 billion rubles for Russian citizens. Mr. Logunov authorized the creation of the investigation team against Magnitsky which included most of the members of the MVD against whom Magnitsky had testified. Mr. Logunov also authorized Magnitsky’s detention by those same officials on grounds that Logunov clearly knew were false, specifically Magnitsky was accused of applying for a UK visa at a time when Mr. Logunov’s subordinates were actually holding Magnitsky’s travel passport (without a visa in it). Furthermore, Mr. Logunov received written confirmation from the UK embassy that it had never received a visa application from Magnitsky but Logunov still refused to repeal Magnitsky’s detention. Clearly Mr. Logunov has much he would prefer not to explain and a personal interest in justifying Magnitsky’s detention.

It now transpires that Oleg Logunov – also conducted the “investigation” of the theft of public money while he was at the Investigatory Committee at the Interior Ministry. As mentioned in my last post, this entire investigation was really just an excuse to provide cover for the true initiators, implementers and end-beneficiaries of this theft. The “Master Sawmiller” Viktor Markelov (this less than impressive sounding criminal alias is not a joke, I have taken it from the official verdict sentencing Markelov), who had played a key role in the theft, but who clearly was not one of organizers, returned from the safety of Ukraine and turned himself in. He was quickly and quietly sent to prison and all investigations ceased, and no attempts were made to find the stolen money.

In his interview, after Magnitsky’s death, at a time when the public was watching and asking all sorts of uncomfortable questions, Mr. Logunov presented the results of this “investigation” and smugly announced the conviction of Markelov as a law enforcement job well done. However, the public was informed about the sophistication of the crime and huge amount of money that had been stolen. It was no longer possible for authorities to say the organizer was in prison or to avoid talking about the missing money. And here is when Oleg Logunov said words that indicated that the cover-up wasn’t working as well as corrupt officials had hoped:

To quote from a June 2010 interview with Oleg Logunov:

Oleg Logunov: “Markelov was arrested, he confessed fully to his guilt and he was sentenced to imprisonment. But this does not mean that the investigation then calmed down. I assure you that this is not the case. The main question for the investigation is who is behind this and where did the money go”

Journalist: “Are any high political figures involved?”

Oleg Logunov: “I can’t answer this question because it’s a secret investigation.”

(I wanted to insert a link to the interview, Mr. Logunov, which was posted on the official website of the Attorney General, but it was so full verifiably false statements that the Attorney General’s Office felt it best to remove it from their site the next day after publication).

This interview was given June 7, 2010 More than 1.5 years have now passed since the theft was recognized and another three months have passed since the interview. Despite Mr. Logunov’s admission of “the main question” a question he had once hoped that no one would ask, no one has heard anything about attempts to find the stolen money or the people behind Markelov. No one has heard anything because nothing is being done to find either. Logunov identified “the main question” because not to have done so would have made him look ridiculous and corrupt but as will become clear shortly, no one has any intention of looking for the organizers or the money.

The investigation is a complete secret because this theft was attended by senior government officials of tax authorities, the Interior Ministry, FSB and Prosecutor General’s office, who already know all the answers and who are doing everything possible to conceal them.

Viktor Markelov:

Viktor Markelov

The history of Markelov and his sentencing for this theft is also a great demonstration of the partnership between the MVD and the criminals behind this theft of the Russian public’s money.

As mentioned before Markelov has already served time for murder. He was also briefly detained when he was accused of working with officers Kuznetsov and Karpov and the owner of Universal Savings Bank, Dmitry Klyuyev, to kidnap a man and extort $20 million dollars.

Now Markelov has been charged with stealing 5.4 billion rubles but is living in the comfortable hospital division of a prison in his hometown. Without whatever “illness” he is officially suffering from he will, with good behavior, be eligible for early release in the summer of 2012. If friendly officials claim he is sick Markelov may even be released sooner so that he can finally start enjoying whatever he was paid for his role in the theft and his decision to turn himself in to shield his accomplices.

Mr. Markelov and people like him are obviously useful for corrupt MVD officers and thus they are police protected criminals. He takes the blame for stealing 5.4 billion rubles and he is hardly punished but, more importantly, he and his accomplices are allowed to keep the stolen money! It’s a pretty good deal and it probably pays a lot better than working in a sawmill.

So this is where we are today. The criminals who stole the money, and their accomplices in law enforcement and other bodies are doing everything possible to delay the investigation of the theft until such time as the public forgets about the need to find the people behind Markelov. The authorities inform the public that that the criminal behind this theft has been caught or that Markelov didn’t work with corrupt MVD officers, or they tell us he worked with others but they don’t look for any others.

Now it is time to reveal who was behind this crime and who got most of the money.

It is clear that MVD officers Kuznetsov and Karpov and the killer Markelov all played key roles in the theft but obviously they did not organize the entire sophisticated theft nor did they get most of the money. Officer Karpov’s and Kuznetsov’s worst crime was organizing the false arrest and murder of Sergei Magnitsky to conceal the theft. So who was the organizer and who else was involved in the theft?

Dmitry Kluev:

Dmitry Kluev

Last month, I filed a new application for an investigation with the Investigatory Committee of The General Prosecutor’s Office of Russia, which indicated that MVD officers Kuznetsov and Karpov were closely associated with a crime syndicate led by a convicted criminal, Dmitry Kluyev. He is beyond any reasonable doubt the man who organized the sophisticated theft.

We know from the transcripts of the criminal trial in the Presnensky court of Moscow, which convicted Kluyev of a previous crime that, Kluyev was the real owner of “Universal Savings Bank” and that he hid is ownership of the bank by having other criminals in his group on all the registration documents. I say he was the owner because after the 5.4 billion rubles stolen from the State passed through this bank, the bank was voluntarily liquidated.

Universal Savings Bank

Universal Savings Bank has a very long and interesting criminal history. It was a small Moscow bank with an office in Dagestan. It was used to receive repeated and systematic transfers of illicitly refunded state tax money from tax inspectorates number 25 and 28 in Moscow in the guise of overpaid taxes. It was also used in an attempted theft of $1.6 billion but more on that later.

My application for an investigation cites several criminal cases with testimony that Kluyev has been in the “business” of arranging tax refunds from the budget since at least 2002. It indicates that Moscow tax inspections number 25 and 28 repeatedly refunded billions of rubles (hundreds of millions of Dollars) to accounts in Kluyev’s bank – Universal Savings Bank – without any of the normal checks and audits.

My application cites several criminal cases that reveal how all the key people, including MVD officers Kuzentsov and Karpov and convicted criminals Kluyev and Markelov and others such as lawyer Andrei Pavlov, who were involved in the theft knew each other, and it reveals their past criminal actions together. The key evidence of these links between the people is contained in the materials of criminal cases taken from the MVD’s own files including the kidnapping of 31 year old business man Feydor Mikheev in an attempt to extort $20 million and Klyuev’s attempt to use Universal Savings Bank to steal $1.6 billion in shares of Mikhailovsky GOK.

Interestingly enough, although Kluyev organized the attempt to steal 1.6 billion dollars in shares, he was only given a conditional sentence with no prison time. The investigator responsible for this incredibly light treatment was non other than Officer Pavel Karpov.

The picture should now be crystal clear but in my next post I will spell out exactly what happened and what I have asked the Investigatory Committee of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Russia to verify and what will happen if they just verify a few incontestable facts. I will also post my complaint so you can read it yourself. займ на карту онлайн hairy girls https://zp-pdl.com/online-payday-loans-in-america.php https://www.zp-pdl.com быстрые займы на карту
