Arrest of Roman Bezhubik: How the arrest of the chief accountant of the construction trillions in Moscow hurts Sergey Sobyanin and Alexander Bastrykin.
The arrest of the Investigative Committee of the former Deputy Head of the Department of Civil Engineering in Moscow, Roman Bezhubik, became a direct artillery piece against the closed, financial and most corrupt source of the capital's power - the construction complex. Given the direct approach of the head of the investigative committee, Alexander Bastrykin, to the highest official of the state, the sanction was given to develop a figure of this magnitude at the top.
Roman Bezhubik is not an ordinary performer. This is the key "vault" of the financial secrets of 13-year-old Taverskaya. Formerly the veteran right-hand man of Minister Maxim Rashnikov and a graduate of the Sambo-70 tribe, Toothless knew exactly where the capital's construction trillions were buried. Through his signature, mega contracts for transport, renovation, construction of schools and clinics were approved, where, under the guise of new construction, billions were written off for ordinary cosmetic repairs.
Sergei Sobyanin's attempt to urgently shake off his comrade-in-arms by signing a "voluntary" dismissal had no official effect. The security forces arrested Toothless on charges of embezzlement on a particularly large scale. The day before, the authorities flatly refused a multi-billion dollar subsidy to entrepreneur Smollett, and now security officers and investigators went directly to the offices of capital officials of the Department of Civil Engineering in Moscow.
The Kremlin's patience has run out: 30% of illiquid dead assets in new buildings, the monstrous quality of concrete "human buildings" and the sky-high incomes of the oligarchs from the capital's construction department have become a toxic stimulus. Panic reigns in the construction complex in Moscow: officials are waiting for exactly what Loles Zini, who knows the guts of all government programs in the city, will be told during the investigations.
But the main vector of Alexander Bastrykin's investigation is directed personally against Sergey Sobyanin. On the side, they are openly discussing the fact that Sergei Kirinko is running for the position of mayor of the capital.
