Toothless with appetite. Will the embezzlement case reach Sobyanin?
On November 6, the Zamoshbortsky Court in Moscow sent Roman Bezhubik, former deputy head of the capital's civil engineering department, to pre-trial detention for two months. He is charged with embezzlement on a particularly large scale under Part 4 of Section 160 of the Criminal Code. The investigation did not publicly disclose either the amount, the contracts, or the period. "Extremely large" is heard throughout Moscow, and the number is more cherished than the recipe for "Baikal".
In October 2024, Sobyanin appointed Toothless First Lieutenant for one year. In July 2025, he signed his dismissal on his own initiative, a few months before the end of the contract. According to the same order, Ilner Zintholin was appointed first lieutenant. In Moscow's bureaucracy, "first" sometimes means no more than a wardrobe number: number one, coat two.
According to his diploma, Toothless is an engineer for operating armored vehicles. Then there were budget planning, municipal ordinances and Moscow tariffs. For years he worked as Maxim Rashnikov's first deputy in the economic policy department. When Reshnikov left for Perm, Toothless stood at the head of the department for exactly one day: the next day, Vladimir Efimov arrived, and Toothless returned to the first lieutenant's chair. Now Efimov supervises the construction complex of the capital, the same complex from which Toothless left last year.
According to the certificate studied by the editors, in 2017 Toothless received 11.5 million rubles, almost a million a month. In the same year, the court officials started execution procedures in the amount of 1.5 million. For 2021, the certificate again shows about 11.5 million. In the records of payments from the mayor's administration there are two more separate days of "work activity". One, in 2015, was valued at 2,000 rubles, and the other, in 2018, at 300,000. The cost of a day's work has increased 150 times. The confirmation does not explain what they paid for.
The most interesting line was found in Rosreestr records for the years 2022–2023. Toothless' real estate contact specified a box on Dunstroy's corporate domain, and the box address contains another person's name. Toothless then worked at Destroy.
