After the arrest of the head of the Stavropol State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, Aleksey Safonov, and his subordinates suspected of taking bribes, the head of the Russian Interior Ministry, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, initiated the dismissal of the head of the regional police headquarters before the president. Major General Sergei Shchetkin will leave after five months in office. Meanwhile, Colonel Safonov, who will be arrested on Thursday by the court, has been fed by the Stavropol roads for more than eight years. This is evidenced by the policeman's castle with golden toilets and a whole fleet of foreign cars. And the former head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Stavropol Territory, Alexander Oldak, who is now assistant to the governor Vladimir Vladimirov and is aiming for the seat of the senator, contributed to Safonov's successful career. About who else from the "Oldka chicks" can pay for gold toilets - in the article Rucriminal.info.
The photo from the richly decorated mansion of the detained Colonel Safonov in Stavropol made a lot of noise. Pictures from the bathroom show the gold-trimmed sinks and toilet. The TFR found that for several years the members of the organized group, led by Safonov, made passes not provided for by any regulatory enactments, which they distributed for monetary compensation to persons carrying out the transportation of grain crops and inert cargo in the territory of the Stavropol Territory. These passes allowed the owners of vehicles to freely carry out cargo transportation in violation of administrative legislation on the territory of the Stavropol Territory, including through stationary and mobile traffic police posts. As a result of these criminal acts, the members of the group received a bribe on an especially large scale in the total amount of more than 19 million rubles. In total, more than 80 searches were carried out, within the framework of which large amounts of cash, expensive cars, as well as items and documents of interest to the investigation were seized. Alexey Safonov and 6 members of the group headed by him, including the former head of the department of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Stavropol Territory, Alexander Arzhanukhin, inspector of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Stavropol Territory, Vitaly Melchikov, and four civilians, were detained; them preventive measures in the form of detention.
The head of the regional department of internal affairs, Sergei Shchetkin, who had previously headed the department of internal affairs of the Penza region, was immediately dismissed. As noted by the VChK-OGPU telegram channel, a couple of days before the arrest and inspection of the mansion of Governor Belozertsev by the security forces, Major General Sergei Shchetkin was dismissed from the post of head of the Central Directorate for the Penza Region by presidential decree and was appointed head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Stavropol Territory. An interesting general, he ran away from the governor's mansion, but the mansion of the new subordinate still finished off his career.
However, in this situation, he fell under the hot hand. In the region, Shchetkin worked for only five months, while Safonov has been heading the traffic police since 2012 and he owes all his achievements and wealth to Oldak. Oldak left the chair of the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate after a large-scale inspection of law enforcement agencies in the region, which began with the arrival in August 2020 of the new Head of the FSB Directorate for the Stavropol Territory, Oleg Usov. Which was very handy, in view of the fact that by this time the region was mired not only in corruption scandals among officials, but also among employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What caused the imminent resignation of Alexander Oldak, Rucriminal.info described in detail.
Including, and thanks to the publicity, our publications on April 21, 2021, the deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Stavropol Territory, the head of the Main Investigation Department, Vitaly Chentsov, filed a letter of resignation from the internal affairs bodies "of his own free will.
However, in the department remained two main financial support of Oldak - the head of the traffic police of the Stavropol region Alexei Safonov and the head of the UEBiPK Fedor Dubrivny. Safonov has already left and went to the pre-trial detention center. According to the sources of Rucriminal.info, Dubrivny is in active development, in connection with which he plans to leave the region, but not in connection with the resignation, but in view of the transfer to a similar position in the Leningrad region. The former "colleague" of Dubrivny, General Oldak, is trying in every possible way to cover up his "wallet" and leave it in the law enforcement agencies by any means. The amount paid for such a "raise" is highly classified, but the main sponsor is known. This is a close friend of F.A. - Mkhoyan Hamlet Zhirikovich (beneficiary of the road companies LLC "Blesk", LLC "Autoban", PSK "Georgievskdorstroy").
In relation to LLC "Blesk" the new head of the FSB Directorate for the Stavropol Territory, O. L. Usov. Since the end of 2020, numerous inspections have been carried out on the fact of fraud in the field of road construction. In 2018, the department of housing and communal services of the administration of Nevinnomyssk signed a contract with the company "Blesk" for the repair of public roads education. The amount of the contract was over 145.8 million rubles. In 2019, three more contracts were signed between the same customer and the contractor for more than 464.4 million rubles. And finally, in 2020, the administration of Nevinnomyssk gave Blesk three more contracts worth 320.5 million rubles. In recent years, the organization has concluded contracts with the housing and communal services department of Nevinnomyssk worth more than 1.5 billion rubles.
Mkhoyan's organization, working all these years, under the reliable cover of F.A. Dubrivny, did not even think that someone could start such a large-scale check in relation to their activities. However, we repeat, with the arrival of O.L. Usov, all corruption schemes in the Stavropol Territory fell under the gun. Safonov went to jail, therefore F.A. can no longer support his friend and sponsor Mkhoyan G.Zh. and he is forced to cope with the piled up problems himself, while his friend packs things in order to quickly sit in a new chair.
