“I saw how Rakhimov negotiated with Yevtushenkov” – Rosbalt.RU

"I saw how Rakhimov negotiated with Yevtushenkov" – Rosbalt.RU

A correspondent of “Rosbalt” was able to get acquainted with the materials of the criminal case, in which the RF IC indicted Chairman of the Board of Directors of AFK “Sistema” Vladimir Evtushenko. According to investigators, he participated in the “laundering” of shares of energy companies Bashkiria Ural Rakhimov stolen. Evidence that the entrepreneur if he knew about his participation in illegal activities, many are based on the testimony of former Senator Igor Izmestieva, now serving a life sentence.

According to the documents the RF IC, during the proceedings on multiple murders committed by members of the “Kingiseppsky grouping”, “became aware of the crimes of others, non-under investigation.” In particular – that Ural Rakhimov, “being the son of the president of the republic of Bashkortostan Rakhimov U.M”, “using his father’s position,” made “a large-scale theft of shares” of the energy companies of the country. On this basis, 28 April 2014 from the criminal case “Kingiseppsky grouping” in separate proceedings were highlighted materials against Ural Rakhimov, who was suspected of committing crimes under the Criminal Code Articles 160 (embezzlement) and 174 (money laundering). Later, he was charged in absentia for these articles of the Criminal Code.

Under the “learned” means evidence that March 17, 2014 in a prison in Solikamsk gave the ex-senator from Bashkiria Igor Izmest’ev, who is serving a life sentence in the case ” Kingisepp groups. ” Then he said that the Ural Rakhimov, since 1995, with the help of a businessman Valery Speranskii (subsequently killed) began to implement a plan for the withdrawal of gosobstvennosti energy companies. Also for the first time voiced Izmest’ev surname intermediary when selling Ural Rakhimov energy companies AFK “System” – Levon Hayrapetyan. Former Senator during this interrogation actively “exposing” Ural Rakhimov, but gave a neat characteristics actions of other participants in the transaction. About Hayrapetyan, he said that he “is lobbying various companies in the higher echelons of power, which has the appropriate access.” And about the role of AFK “System” in this story Izmest’ev stated: “Clearly, the guide AFK” System “understood that the assets being acquired are problematic”.

In the spring of 2014 Izmestieva transferred already in jail “Sailor’s Silence” , where on June 17 he was again interrogated and gave detailed testimony. Citing personal communication up to 2007 (when he was arrested) with Murtaza and Ural Rakhimov, Levon Hayrapetyan and several other persons Izmest’ev detail about the preparation of the sale of energy companies AFK “System”. They have always found references to the names of Vladimir Yevtushenko, who, according to Izmestieva, together with Rakhimov and Hayrapetyan understood “that the shares illegally owned Ural Rakhimov”.

For further information ex-senator, according to His Word , received in jail from persons close to the Ural Rakhimov. According to this information, the parties entered into a formal part of the first transaction on the change of ownership of assets, significantly underestimating the cost ($ 2.5 billion). Then “initiated by the actions of the tax authorities” to lift in 2009 with the arrest of the shares of energy companies. And even then realized “the informal part of the” transaction, which AFK “System” under the mediation of Hayrapetyan transferred to personal accounts of Ural Rakhimov of $ 5 billion.

As can be seen from the case, up until July 14, the RF IC checking information set Izmestieva, and found them to confirm. In particular – during the interrogation of another ex-Senator Alexander Yakubov. “I have witnessed how Rakhimov UM held talks with a representative of AFK” Sistema “, Yevtushenkov VP and Hayrapetyan LG” – said the former member of the Federation Council. – They discussed problems with the arbitration process and the encumbrance of shares. “This Yakubov said that all the participants in the transaction” were aware of the possibility of withdrawal of shares in favor of the state and that they seized “.

It is obvious that RF IC such testimony tried to strengthen the evidence base to the extent that Hayrapetyan and guide AFK “System” involved in transactions with the FEC enterprises, knowing that they were obtained illegally Ural Rakhimov. What is the composition and article 174 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

On arrival from Monaco to the airport “Domodedovo” July 15 Hayrapetyan was arrested. Nine days later he was charged under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation 160 and 174 (embezzlement and “laundering” of funds). Whereas previously in the case materials role of representatives of AFK “System” in the history of fuel and energy companies were given without any evaluation, the decision to prosecute Hayrapetyan responsible wording changed. Document already said that Rakhimov and Hayrapetyan acted “together with other unidentified persons, including the among the representatives of AFK “Sistema”. Moreover, both parties to the transaction (Rakhimov and representatives of AFK “System” – “Rosbalt”) shares were aware of “abuse of certain provisions of the Federal Law” On Privatization of State and Municipal Property “dated 21.12.2001 in the privatization of Energy Bashkiria and their possible withdrawal from the public authorities “.

So it turns out that the parties have the information that the sell-buy stolen property, which the government is already trying to get back.

Well, from reading and Izmestieva Yakubov, it follows that the main representative of AFK “Sistema”, who personally conducted all negotiations with Rakhimov and Hayrapetyan, as well as, according to the UK version of the Russian Federation, “acted” together with them was Vladimir Yevtushenko. September 16, he was charged under Article 174 of the Criminal Code. Basmanny court sentenced a businessman measure in the form of house arrest.

“Manual AFK” System “believes that an acquisition of shares of enterprises of Bashkir fuel and energy complex was lawful and transparent. Company provides full assistance to the investigation and intends to use all legal means to defend its position, “- said in a statement AFK” System “on the charge Yevtushenkov. His lawyers in the near future are going to appeal against the measure in the form of house arrest.
