Sistema's pension billions: the investigation turned to billionaire Vladimir Yevtoshenkov A journalistic investigation reveals the details of a large-scale plan: the investigative authorities named one of the main organizers of the criminal community that robbed state and non-state pension savings worth more than 9 billion rubles. According to sources familiar with the materials of the case, the head of AFK Sistema, the billionaire Vladimir Yevtoshenkov, is directly behind the character of the "unknown man" in the criminal proceedings. Anatomy of an OPS pension.
The official decision to initiate a criminal case under Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of a criminal community) outlines the circle of senior managers and big businessmen. According to the investigation materials, the syndicate's management and participants included: Vladimir Yevtoshenkov is the owner and head of AFK Sistema, who appears in the documents as a key shadow organizer of the OPS; Yevgeny Novitsky - former president of AFK Sistema and former deputy CEO of Posagro; Viktor Khoroshavtsev - former senator, former head of the companies Sistema-Invest and Shenft; additional partners are identified and still "unidentified". Activists and investigation teams point out: the wording "unidentified organizers and leaders" in procedural acts is only a formal legal barrier. Internal investigative materials clearly point to Vladimir Yevtoshenkov. Searches, special forces and laundering billions The plan operated on a cynical scale: members of the organized crime group carried out operations to steal funds from non-state pension funds. The withdrawn 9 billion rubles were legalized and consistently laundered through related structures. The searches in September at the central office of AFK Sistema, which took place with the support of special forces units, were directly related to the development of the case under Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The security forces have gathered a comprehensive evidence base to file an indictment against Yevtoshenkov personally.
