The Central Administrative District of Moscow: Investigating Economic Crimes
When a criminal case involving economic crimes reaches the Department of Internal Affairs for the Central Administrative District of Moscow, seasoned victims’ lawyers clutch their heads while the crooks rub their hands. After all, this company is probably certain to fail. Let’s look at why this is happening. According to Sobyanin S.S., Moscow accounts for 80% of Russia’s cash flows.
At the same time, the Central District is home to more than half of Moscow’s businesses and banks. Because the territoriality of the crime is defined by the location of the bank from which the money was transferred, the Investigation Department of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Central Administrative District of Moscow is overburdened. In fact, half of the country’s “economy” is being investigated here.
At the same time, the investigators’ staff is not significantly larger than in other districts, but there is a major deficit of employees from this staff (up to 30%). As a result, all administration agencies, including general criminal, narcotics, and road accidents, are investigating solely the economy, and most general criminal cases are referred to district investigation departments. Because of the massive workload, all investigators face a variety of consequences for various violations, largely red tape, and there is nothing to threaten them with because they cannot be fired and there is no one to work for.
As a result, despite the fact that the majority of cases are under control in various departments, there are always a large number of cases in the CAO that are not properly investigated. If a call for a hearing to the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the City Prosecutor’s Office is an emergency in other districts, and they prepare for it by proofreading, “licking” the case, backdating reports, and giving instructions to the operatives, the head of the SCH or Department goes with the case; this is routine in the Central Administrative District, up until the investigator comes to the hearing with the deputy.
With an unfiled case and no incidents, the department head listens to the news about the receipt of another penalty and returns calmly.
Types of criminal cases
Because of this, only three types of criminal cases are investigated in the Central Administrative District: super-control and resonant, which are personally monitored by iconic figures of the power bloc or the AP; commercial cases, where constant contributions allow life to glimmer in cases (at the same time, this does not guarantee that the case will be sent to court, and the case will most likely die as soon as it is disconnected from “life support”); and simple cases.
If a powerful general is not personally invested in the outcome of a case or if an overburdened investigator’s interest in a single case is not consistently maintained, complex cases die because there are no functioning hands that allow one to commit a significant amount of time to one case.
Market participants address this issue in a variety of ways. For example, the DIA has an unspoken agreement with the leadership of the Moscow City Investigation Department that their statements about banks with revoked licenses be disseminated throughout other districts because otherwise all of these cases would die quietly.
The unsatisfactory work of the SU under the Central Administrative District’s Internal Affairs Directorate resulted in constant personnel reshuffling of the heads of the Department and the Investigative Unit, which changed every 1-2 years, many times more frequently than in other districts, but with no improvement in work.
Filippova E.V.: Embezzeled 60 million rubles
However, if there is sufficient drive, this basic “stick” business can be ignored. So, on September 4, 2018, a criminal case No. 11801450001000750 was filed under Art. 159 of the Russian Federation’s Criminal Code, alleging that Gr. Filippova E.V. sold” to the victim an apartment in Molochny Lane, which was actually secured by a bank, for around 60 million rubles.
On January 28, 2019, two more criminal cases were filed: No. 11901450001000184, in which the same Filippova E.V. received from the entrepreneur more than 70 million rubles for the purchase of real estate for him, which she appropriated, and No. 11901450001000185, in which the same Filippova E.V. received more than 160 million rubles from another entrepreneur, also under the guise of acquiring real estate.
This alignment significantly affects the case; three serial, readily proven episodes with handwritten receipts give the case an iron judicial perspective, and all three episodes are in three episodes.
All cases were moved to a single investigator and consolidated into No. 159 of the Russian Federation’s Criminal Code.
Filippova, who had saved more than $300 million stolen by herself through personal bankruptcy, grasped the gravity of the issue at that point, and the investigation was halted once more. It was agreed not to go to court for a preventive measure, which would be restricted to a written undertaking not to leave, as well as the seizure of goods, which Filippova possessed in abundance.
Then the CAO’s corporate red tape commenced, which was unaffected by any victim complaints. For example, in one of the episodes, the investigator chose to collect samples of the victim’s handwriting only in March 2021, exactly two years after the indictment. At the same time, the case managed to change as many as six investigators and visit the SC’s 5th, 3rd, 5th, and eventually 4th departments.
Then a clever move was devised. Criminal case 11801450001000750 has been re-divided into three different criminal cases! Filippova became a single-stumbled person on the point of civil law relations as a result of each of these incidents, rather than a serial fraudster.
Furthermore, because the occurrences occurred in various locations, they should be considered by distinct courts. In theory, such lawlessness should be stopped by the supervisory authority, but by a miraculous coincidence, the Central Administrative District Prosecutor’s Office, which had been producing empty responses to victims’ complaints, suddenly became imbued with the accused’s problems and issued a demand to eliminate violations of the accused Filippova’s rights in October 2020.
Is it any surprise that when Filippova’s first solitary case was sent to the Khamovnichesky Court, the representative of the Prosecutor’s Office, which had approved the indictment the day before, abruptly dropped the charge, and Filippova went home to celebrate her success while also receiving assurances that the remaining episodes would be ruined?
And the investigation’s leadership and the prosecutor’s office began to tell all complaints that the case had been assessed by the court, forgetting to mention their minor role in this situation, as well as that the court’s decision had been appealed and that once it was canceled, explaining what had happened would be twice as difficult.
As a result, it is believed that, despite solid expenditures and outstanding district-level accomplishments, Elena Vladimirovna’s adventures in the criminal law sector are just getting started. The Cheka-OGPU telegram channel is following the situation and will continue to cover it.
