Introduction

Mark Bergman, one of the key defendants in the investigation of the hacker group The Infraud Organization (called the “Ministry of Fraud” and choosing the motto “In Fraud We Trust”—”We believe in fraud”), is the victim in the case against Marat Tambiev, the head of the investigation department for the Tverskoy district of the Main Investigative Committee of the ICR in Moscow.

This information was made known to the telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU. Bergman’s attorney, Roman Meyer, agreed to accept $1 million in exchange for his promise to work with law enforcement to resolve a number of issues, and he designated Andrey Strizhov, head of the Main Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for Moscow, and Moscow Prosecutor Denis Popov as the final recipients of the funds.

At the same time, Meyer himself was a former employee of the Russian Federation’s FSB’s Sixth Service. Despite frequently changing his last name, everyone knew who he was. Meyer is Bergman’s business partner in addition to being a lawyer.

They hold a number of North Caucasus properties that could have been bought with money obtained from hacking operations. Meyer also committed to resolving the situation with the Russian Federation’s Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is providing operational support in the case.

As it turned out, Roman Meyer, a lawyer, had previously gone by the name Kovalev and had worked as a lawyer in the KChR when Marat Tambiev, the director of the investigating department for the Tverskoy district of the Main Investigating Committee of the ICR in Moscow, was detained. But afterwards, he changed his last name to Meyer and practiced law in the Moscow area.

Mark and Konstantin Bergman, who are charged in the case involving the hacking organization Infraud Organization, are his customers and are said to have given him money to pay Tambiev. These are not simply Meyer’s clients; they are also his business associates. Meyer’s relatives, Naida Kovaleva and Elena Van Meyer, are his business partners.

Nadim Aliverdiev, another of their partners, is named in Roman Meyer’s evidence as the one who brought the money for the bribe. Particularly through BEMSIDGE RUS LLC, partners own the KChR LLC Mountain Resorts of the Caucasus, LLC GSK Arkhyz, and many more structures, making this an extremely diversified corporation. There is every reason to think they were bought with money earned from cyber activity.

Meyer extorted substantial quantities of money from his clients, Mark Bergman and Konstantin Bergman, for “solving” their problems, according to the papers that were in the Cheka-OGPU’s possession:

  • To accept the pre-trial agreement and assure a suspended sentence, $1 million US dollars will be handed to Strizhov, the director of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia for Moscow, and Popov, the city prosecutor;
  • and exactly the same 26 million rubles for the preliminary inquiry body not taking the property of Meyer’s trustees.
  • Separately, discussions on problem-solving (for a premium) with the Russian Federation’s Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took place.

Meyer didn’t just happen to offer such a wide range of services. Everyone recognized him as a former worker in the Russian Federation’s FSB’s Sixth Service. He underwent multiple surname changes throughout his life. In particular, he was Kovalev before Meyer. And nobody actually knows what his birth name was. At least the names and patronymics of his immediate family are Caucasian.

The Bergmans, who had already been completely destroyed previously, complained to the Russian Federation’s FSB.

As a result, the unique service recorded every communication the attorney had with his clients.

These kinds of talks are common. Intriguingly, Tambiev hasn’t engaged in any talks where he requested to be given a prize in the form of materials. Additionally, he keeps track of any pledges or offers made to resolve issues within the context of the cited case. One gets the feeling from the audio recordings’ content that Meyer was more of an organizer and ideological inspiration than a middleman in this plan.

What does the source say?

What follows is that Meyer gets busted while accepting the cash. Meyer’s criminal acts were repressed, according to the documentation. And now things take an intriguing turn, according to the source of the Cheka-OGPU:

“During the interview, Meyer claims (after having previously changed his testimony several times as to why he took this money from his client) that even prior to receiving $26,000,000, he was aware of the illegality of everything that was taking place, and because he did not want to be a part of these actions, he voluntarily wrote and appeared.

All of this is obviously unrealistic. He previously did this after the arrest. He personally suggested this version in an effort to avoid prosecution: Let me carry it [the money] farther and bounce back on the note. Naturally, 100% was determined by the computation. “Not wanting to participate” will not be effective in this situation since he has already joined and his acts constitute a finished composition.

The events took place in the following order, according to the Cheka-OGPU’s documents: Meyer was busted on March 23 after taking $26 million from his customer in exchange for “solving” a specific problem (we will discuss this further in a future article). On March 23 or 24, no criminal prosecution was started despite this.

Meyer started to publicly haggle, proposing to turn in a high-ranking recipient of money to divert the damage from himself. He did, however, present many versions. In particular, he said that he collected 26 million to transfer to the Moscow Investigative Committee’s chief investigator, Strizhov, and subsequently to the city’s public defender, Popov.

He didn’t know these leaders, and they wouldn’t let him in at the door, so he was unable to take part in the operational experiment to imprison them. Meyer ultimately decided to use the version with Tambiev, whom he had known for a very long time.

The VChK-OGPU was able to speak with Tambiev’s attorney, Rustam Gabdulin. He shared fascinating data from Meyer’s history and did not object, so we can assume that he verified the veracity of the aforementioned documents.

According to recent high-profile detentions, the ‘applicants’ or ‘intermediaries’ in acquiring illicit incentives frequently end up being provocateurs and con artists themselves. These individuals may be identified by their propensity to often change their personal information, their exposure to different corruption scandals, and their determination to get a monetary advantage at all costs.

Involvement in questionable activities

Our evidence indicates that applicant Meyer has engaged in questionable activities in the past, emerging “dry from the water” each time. Furthermore, we are aware that he frequently altered his complete name. Our legal situation appears to be another set of his honed behaviors.

Whether or not this is accurate will be demonstrated by objective evidence that is gathered by both the defense and the inquiry, as well as a number of particular facts that, I’m sure, over time will come to the attention of a large number of individuals and parties to the process.
