In May, Moscow's Dorogomilovsky Court convicted two police officers of taking bribes worth more than a million rubles to block streets for the filming of the Chikatilo series. As the telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU found out, this case could develop into a major investigation into corruption in the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. The employees who made a deal with the investigation testified about the monthly deductions to Major General Andrei Zakharov. However, their testimony was simply "hushed up".
According to the source, initially, in November 2019, employees of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow were brought to criminal responsibility in this case: inspector Fedorov of the UOOP, deputy head of the department Fayzullin, deputy head of the Department of Internal Affairs Kitai-city Smolin. Now all these employees have already received terms and are sent to camps.
Fedorov was the first to be caught red-handed, who, as part of an operational experiment, handed over Fayzullin. Fayzullin, in turn, surrendered Smolin. Some time later, Fedorov concluded a pre-trial agreement and testified against his colleague Vitaly Fokin and the deputy head of the public order protection department (UOOP) of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow, Sergei Kulishov.
Moreover, Fedorov, as part of a deal with the investigation, said that he, together with Fokin, each month chipped off 50 thousand rubles and transferred the money to Kulishov and directly to the head of the UOOP of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, Major General Andrei Zakharov. The same bribe for general patronage was paid by other employees.
A week after Fedorov's testimony, Kulishov was detained, who also agreed to cooperate with the investigation. It would seem that the detention of Zakharov should follow. The leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, deciding not to wait for this, immediately fired him.
And then the well-known miracles of the Russian investigation take place. Kulishov unexpectedly begins to testify that the "center" of all corruption chains was not Zakharov at all, but his subordinate Vitaly Fokin. According to Kulishov, Inspector Fokin, who had worked in the UOP for only 1.5 years at the time of the events, persuaded his boss Kulishov to accept bribes and himself organized extortions from employees and persons who needed the help of the UOP (such as a film crew).
Fokin, 25, pleaded not guilty to any of the charges. As a result, he was made the main corrupt official of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. Kulishov, according to the decision of judge Talanina, received five years in prison, and Fokin .... 11 years in a strict regime with a fine of two million rubles
As for General Zakharov, he was not even interrogated.
After sitting in the shadows, he returned to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
Rucriminal.info became aware that the events that served as the detention of a number of employees of the UOP for the so-called help to filmmakers could be hostile relations between the deputy chief of police of the Moscow headquarters, Major General Domashev, and at that time the head of the OOP Zakharov. In 2018, Colonel Domashev acted as head of the UOOP, but was soon sent into exile in the North Caucasus Federal District (according to the source, General Zakharov could have contributed to this), where he received a general position. A few years later, Domashev, with the support of the FSB, was able to return to the Moscow headquarters, but already in a position higher than the head of the department. Thus, Zakharov fell into submission to him and, accordingly, disgrace. Having offered Zakharov to leave, and having received a refusal, he began to pick up through people subordinate to Zakharov. Subsequently, essentially sacrificing his employees (7 people), he achieved the removal of Zakharov from his post, inviting Diokin, deputy head of the traffic police (a mutual acquaintance with Zakharov), to his position.
According to information provided by a source close to the UOOP, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow, the movie has been filmed and continues to be filmed. This is actively facilitated by the current deputy head of the UOOP GU, police colonel A.N. Polyansky (who took the post of Kulishov). The latter, in turn, served as chief of the 2nd operational regiment of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, which had hundreds of patrols under his command.
By the way, the court judge Federov also testified against him.
Polyansky was also not interrogated in the framework of the criminal case.
Intimidation by sentences against Inspector Fokin and the others does not bear fruit.
The process of coordinating filming on the roadways and public parts of the city is quite laborious, affecting the interests of balance holders (Diptrans, Prefect, Administration, various State Budgetary Institutions and law enforcement agencies).
Without the appropriate documents, only big stars can allow filming (we previously mentioned General Zakharov), now General Diokin, a friend of Zakharov, oversees this direction.
General Zakharov, when asked by his colleagues about what happened, pretends that it did not concern him.
As it became known, at present, filmmakers are a thing of the past, they are actively "solving" issues with the territorial divisions of the Moscow Central Administration, so to speak on the ground, which the current leaders really dislike.
Himself bMovie-related wear and tear has been generating passive income for the police for many years, more than 20 years. There are legends that the police even signed the estimate for receiving money.
Surprisingly, at present there is not a single legal act regulating the procedure for their implementation (which is what the police use), but in Europe, in particular the United States, entire police squads have been created to protect filmmakers.
