The reader turned to the editorial office of The Moscow Post, who told how they could try to break up the case of former Deputy Energy Minister Anatoly Tikhonov, piling all the blame on the now late owner of Lanit JSC Georgy Gens.
Recall that Anatoly Tikhonov was detained as a suspect in a criminal case of major fraud last year, as reported by RBC. The Russian Energy Agency headed by him was engaged in the implementation of the state program "Energy Efficiency and Energy Development," in particular, the development of the state information system of the fuel and energy complex. It is worth noting that the investigation of the case is relatively slow, which may indicate that no one seriously "closes" Tikhonova does not intend.
However, this summer another case appeared against Anatoly Tikhonov and his alleged accomplices. They are suspected of laundering more than 700 million rubles allocated for the GIS fuel and energy system. This time, Tikhonov himself, his partner Valery Kovalenko, former head of the information technology department of the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Energy Agency Roman Shcherbov, ex-adviser to Deputy Minister Roman Ryzhkov, accountant Elena Golovko, as well as Tikhonov's acquaintance Igor Udintsev and famous businessman Georgy Gens, who died in 2018.
According to our informant, the investigator in the case is Maxim Vladimirovich Bakun, Tikhonov's lawyer is Mikhail Anatolyevich Bagmet. Bakun and Bagmet are both from influential families that are friendly with each other. An employee of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation Vladimir Mikhailovich Bakun is an old comrade of the leaders of the IC of Russia Anatoly Mikhailovich Bagmet and Alexander Bastrykin.
Vladimir Bakun previously worked as a prosecutor of the Arkhangelsk region and at the same time allegedly added his son Maxim to the RF IC under the warm wing of an old friend Anatoly Bagmet. Maxim Bakun has since been engaged in many high-profile cases: according to Kommersant, his portfolio includes the case of the head of the Baring Vostok foundation, Michael Kalvi, and the notorious arbitration judge Irina Baranova, accused of corruption in absentia.
Teamwork?According to our source, Maxim Bakun allegedly simply refuses to consider the application for Anatoly Tikhonov filed by ISSB LLC. Recently, The Moscow Post wrote in detail how our editors got a complaint to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Igor Krasnov from ISSB, which wants to attract the former Deputy Energy Minister for another episode of fraud, but as if meets resistance to this process.
Then we wrote that, according to the text of the complaint, the applications filed by ISSB are not considered. According to our sources, the adviser to the general director of the company, Alexei Savin, had two telephone conversations, from which it follows that an attempt to commit fraud in the purchase of equipment for the supply of GIS fuel and energy complex will not be investigated. Apparently, he could talk with Maxim Bakun.
Recall that back in 2019, ISSB considered that they were not illegally allowed before the auction for the supply of equipment for the GIS fuel and energy complex. Allegedly, after this, the company was asked to stop obtaining a contract, promising in the future of the organization to receive dividends from other state tenders, it is possible that the system will be maintained. GIS FUEL AND ENERGY COMPLEX.
Nevertheless, according to ISSB representatives, all the perpetrators are already under the sight of law enforcement officers. The first to fall into the hands of law enforcement officers was the director of the REA department, Roman Shcherbov, who subsequently testified against Tikhonov.
Shcherbov was considered a person close to Tikhonov. As The Moscow Post previously wrote, he is the former son-in-law of Lyubov Yeltsova. And she, in turn, is the former deputy minister of labor and social protection of the Russian Federation Olga Golodets. Yeltsova and Golodets are old acquaintances of Tikhonov in Krasnoyarsk, since everyone worked together in Norilsk Nickel.
Another old acquaintance of Tikhonov, Alexei Shevlyakov, was involved in the case. According to our sources, he oversaw the GIS fuel and energy complex together with Tikhonov and Kulapin. Shevlyakov, like Tikhonov, came a long way from the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation to the administration of St. Petersburg, and then to the administration of Krasnoyarsk. Then he ended up on the VEB council, from where he left with Tikhonov, later becoming his adviser.
It was Shevlyakov who signed the ill-fated agreements with the Lanit company on the GIS fuel and energy complex, for which Tikhonov was eventually arrested. According to some information, later Shevlyakov, together with Bagmet, working in the Forensic Expert Center of the RF IC, could "do" the necessary examinations for the investigation in favor of Tikhonov. However, there is no confirmation of this information.
Another member of the so-called "family" is the deputy head of the legal department of the FSBI A.I. Afanasyev, who, according to some reports, cohabits with the brother of his wife Anatoly Tikhonov. It is likely that he may also rejoice at the release of his relative.
If indeed a whole "team" is fighting for Tikhonov, then she already has her first successes - recently one of the defendants, Mr. Udintsev, was released on his own recognizance. And, surprise, the deadlines for attracting him in the case have already expired and now he faces only a fine. Do they want to arrange the same for Tikhonov?
Moreover, probably even the figure has already been determined, on which they will hang all responsibility - this is now the late George Gens, the beneficiary of Lanit. If this is true, then the idea seems logical - you won't ask anything from the deceased.
In addition, among the probably patronizing Tikhonov, Alexander Khloponinyu Tikhonov and Khloponin worked back in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where the first was the deputy governor of the second. Then Tikhonov met with the current deputy chairman of the government and former Minister of Energy Alexander Novak.
As you know, Novak was recently appointed curator of the North Caucasus Federal District, about which The Moscow Post wrote in detail. And Alexander Khloponin from 2010 to 2018 was the presidential envoy just in this district. Obviously, the team of "Krasnoyarsk" still retains a strong influence there.
Since January 2020, the presidential envoy to the North Caucasus Federal District is former Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, who may also be interested in Tikhonov. According to our sources, the Chaika family has several mining enterprises that were left without control over tariffs in the energy sector and government-allocated mining licenses, as well as subsidies and state orders. Like, the family could work well at one time with Novak and Tikhonov.
This is how it turns out that, it seems, Tikhonov can be assisted in avoiding criminal prosecution on many sides. In his case, the interests of several influential groups could be intertwined, which together can really pull him out of the pre-trial detention center. But is it not time to pay attention to this story to the competent authorities, which are already littering complaints with those who suffered from the actions of the former deputy minister?
