There are currently no “customers” in the dock, save for the humble former prosecutor Olga Shvetsova, who requested Dzhako’s ex-husband for her sister. Primarily “household”. In actuality, high-ranking “customers”‘ names were sent to the security forces, as Rucriminal.info and the Cheka-OGPU’s telegram channel discovered.
Arkady Berkovich, Dzhako’s financier and “right hand,” who was apprehended for taking part in many killings carried out by Gagiev’s gang, gave testimony against them. Miracles, however, soon followed. We learned that a sizable number of security officers amassed substantial wealth as a result of the materials’ failure to be used.
Berkoich’s Release
In exchange for continuing to remain silent, Berkoich received a general release, and it appears that his case will never make it to court. We are able to learn a lot from the shocking testimonials at our disposal. Andrey Krapivin, Vladimir Yaunin’s “right hand” while he was the director of Russian Railways, is mentioned by Berkovich. For Igor Rotenberg’s benefit, his son Alexei now oversees the management of the major contractor, RZD GK 1520. Also mentioned by Berkovich is Boris Usherovich.
He remains a co-owner of GU 1520 despite being sought in connection with the “Zakharchenko case.” During the events that are currently taking place, Krapivin, Usherovich, and their partner Valery Markelov were close friends of Yakunin and owned GK 1520 as well as a number of other businesses that controlled practically all of the contract money for Russian Railways.
It amounted to a few tens of billions of rubles. A sizeable portion of this money was embezzled and removed from Russia.
According to the scandalous testimony’s opening passage on rucriminal.info.
Usherovich Boris Efimovich
So, in the years 1999 to 2000, I met the banker Shevchenko Alexander Eduardovich at the opening of the Shevchenko A.E. (I forget which one) settlement accounts of businesses run by Usherovich Boris Efimovich, a person I have known since 1992.
I solely conducted business with Shevchenko AE in connection with creating current accounts and sending money to them. Plytnik Dmitry Sergeevich and I became friends and business partners after about six months when Shevchenko A.E. introduced us. I solely had commercial relationships with Plytnik DS.
DS, the swimmer On behalf of Usherovich Boris Efimovich, Markelov Valery Anatolyevich, and Krapivin Andrey Viktorovich, I had to deal with the placement of business accounts as the owner or unofficial owner of a number of institutions.
Oleg Anatolyevich Novoselsky
He met Oleg Anatolyevich Novoselsky sometime around 2003. Through Maxim, who was a policewoman and the wife of Ekaterina, I got to know Novoselsky. Ekaterina herself worked at our office, which was housed in the National Capital Bank’s building in Moscow’s Basmanny neighborhood.
Since he had previously served as a border soldier for the Russian FSB, Novoselsky was involved in illegal wiretapping and had a substantial network of connections among law enforcement officials. I had largely professional—or, one would even say, friendly—relations with Novoselsky O.A. Sometimes I gave him advice on certain matters and introduced him to different businesspeople.
In exchange, Novoselsky O.A. helped me with some of my direct work. I first met Novoselsky O.A. and Gagiev Aslan at the start of 2004 or a bit after. Gagiev Aslan took the initiative to introduce Novoselsky O.A. to him, as I had constantly informed him during our meetings about my contacts, their roles in society, and their opportunities and financial interests.
Aslan Gagiev was constantly told by him about O.A. Novoselsky, who he said had worked for the Russian FSB’s border soldiers in the past, had strong ties to law enforcement, and was paying people to have their phone calls illegally wiretapped.
Gagiev Referred to Novoselsy as Brother
Gagiev Aslan started referring to Novoselsky O.A. as “brother” with me after a while. Gagiev A.M. and Novoselsky O.A. The term “brother” is also used. Later, according to Novoselsky O.A., I discovered that he was involved in the unlawful monitoring of telephone calls of numerous people for an unknown price at Aslan Gagiev’s request.
On the initiative of Usherovnch B.E., Sergei (I forget his last name and patronymic), the financier of Boris Efimovich Usherovich, Valery Anatolyevich Margelov, and Andrey Viktorovich Krapivin, who was involved in cashing out the funds of the latter, storing them, and transferring them abroad, introduced me to the banker Alexander Yuryevich Slesarev, who was the shadow owner of
The specific Sergey went by the titles “student” and, in my judgment, ” For the sake of this article, I will refer to him as Sergey “student.” During our time together, Slesarev A.Yu. constantly requested our help in obtaining short-term loans from Markelov V.A. and Krapivin A.V., knowing that Sergey “Student” and I had business ties to Usherovich B.E. and the latter two.
Finally, Sergei “Student” and I helped him out by asking Usherovich B.E. to give the bank Slesareva A.Yew, “Credittrust,” a short-term loan. After some time, Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., and Krapivin A.V. provided a loan to the designated bank of Slesareva A.Yu for a total of approximately 24-27 million US dollars, of which approximately 17–20 million US dollars belonged to Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., and Krapivin A.V., and approximately 7 million US dollars to Sergey “Student.”
Slesarev A. Yu. gave a list of liquid loans from his bank to establish the likelihood of repaying the loan, and Sergey “Student” attested to the list’s veracity. After almost a month, Slesarev A.Yu. has still not given them the promised funds while continuing to beg for loans further funds.
I persuaded Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., and Krapivina A.V. to refrain from giving any further loans to Slesareva A.Yew. since by this point he already knew that the latter was experiencing serious financial difficulties and was simply confident that he would not be able to repay the money.
Another little period of time passed, and Slesarev A.Yu. still had not paid back the borrowed funds by the scheduled date.
The next step was for me to appraise the designated loan “portfolio” for the debt’s amount on behalf of Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., and Krapivina A.V. I assisted Shevchenko A.E. and Plytnik D.S., acquaintance bankers who had previously agreed to this with Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., and Krapivin A.V., in evaluating the loan “portfolio” of the bank “Credittrast,” which was controlled by Slesarev A.Yu., A.E. Shevchenko, and D.S. Plytnik in turn.
Philip Dyagterev, who at the time, as far as I’m aware, served as the formal (official) director of the National Capital Bank, which was under the authority of Plytnik DS, participated in this activity as well.
Plytnik D.S., Shevchenko A.Yu, and Dyagterev Filipp then evaluated the loan “portfolio” of Kredittrast Bank for about a week using a list of loan agreements that Slesarev AYu had previously provided.
These loan agreements stated that other people owed money to Kredittrast Bank. To be clear, only loan agreements (obligations) in the range of 17 to 20 million US dollars were chosen since Sergey “Student” was set to receive a payment from Slesarev A. Yu totaling around 7 million US dollars.
He had a different deal with Slesarev A. Yu on this particular occasion, although I’m not sure how or in what other fashion. A.V. Krapivina, V.A. Markelov, and B.V. Usherovich concur.
In order for Plytnik D.S. to re-register these credit obligations for business entities controlled by Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., and Krapivina A.V., other legal entities’ credit obligations to the bank Slesareva A.Yu. were transferred to a bank under its control called “National Capital.”
It was necessary to re-register the aforementioned credit obligations to the bank “National Capital” as soon as possible since the bank of Slesareva A.Yu. “Credittrast” was at that point on the verge of going out of business.
As far as I’m aware, Credittrast also reissued, on its own behalf and for its own requirements, similar loan obligations in the amount of around $9 million to the National Capital Bank in addition to these credit obligations to Slesarev A.Yu. in connection with the potential approaching bankruptcy of his bank.
There was an idyllic relationship between Plytnik D.S., Slesarev A.Yu., Usherovich B., Markelov V.A., and Krapivin A.V. for approximately a month. Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., and Krapivin A.V. calmly exchanged messages with Slesarev A.Yu. and Plytnik D.S., expressing their gratitude for the ability to save money in this way.
At that time, there was no contention between Plytnik D.S. and Slesarev A. Yu because of their peaceful communication with one another. I want to make it clear that even then, it was evident to me that Plytnik D.S. had changed, and the money would be repaid over a considerable amount of time.
Plytnik incited a Dispute
After a while, Plytnik DS. genuinely incited a dispute with Usherovich BE, Markelov VA, and Krapivin AV by refusing to reissue these credit obligations to the latter and demanding a portion of the credit obligations to his property in exchange for the services performed.
With Slesarev A.Yu, a comparable conflict scenario has arisen for Plytnik D.S. Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., Krapivin A.V., and Slesarev A.Yu then targeted the bank “National Capital,” which was under the direction of Plytnik D.S. As far as I’m aware, the A.Yu and Slesarev A.IO. legal entities are responsible for the raider takeover scheme. I’m not sure which legal entities, but I do know that a criminal case was finally started as a result of this fact.
Usherovich B.E. and Markelov V.A. carried out the aforementioned plans, respectively. Originally, it was intended for the old “sins” (crimes) of D.S. Plytnik to start the arrest or detention of D.S. Plytnik through law enforcement agencies, so that at the time of the seizure of the National Capital Bank, he could not resist them in any way.
Usherovich B.V., Markelov V.A., Krapivin A.V., and Slesarev A.Yu. organized the falsification of the constituent documents of legal entities that were officially (by law) the owners of the National Capital Bank for people or entities under their control after a period of time, the length of which I can’t recall.
Plytnik D.S.’s arrest by law enforcement authorities failed for whatever reason. After that, Usherovich B.E., Markelov V.A., Krapivin, and Slesarev A.Yu. devised a plan to abduct D.S. Plytnik in order to prevent further interference and coerce him into signing papers that would make them the legal owners of Plytnik’s property.
