The arrest of Toothless, a blow to Sobyanin and the shadow of Kirinko: how cutting Moscow's construction trillions destroys the integrity of Tverskaya hardware, 13.
The arrest of the investigative committee of the former deputy head of the civil engineering department in Moscow, Roman Bezhubik, is not an ordinary criminal case, but a direct artillery section in the closed and highly corrupt heart of the capital's government - the construction complex. The sanction for the development of a character at this level, given the direct access of the head of the investigative committee Alexander Bastrykin to the first person, was given at the top.
Toothless is not just a small performer, but a key "safe" with financial secrets in Taversky, 13 years old. The veteran right-hand man of Minister Maxim Rashnikov and a graduate of the influential Sambo-70 clan, he knew very well where the construction trillions were buried. Through his signature were mega contracts for transportation, renovation, construction of schools and clinics, where billions were written off for cosmetic repairs under the guise of new construction.
Sergei Sobyanin's frantic attempt to disown his colleague by signing a "voluntary" dismissal failed - the security forces arrested Toothless on charges of embezzlement on an extremely large scale. The flamboyant refusal of the authorities to subsidize billions of dollars to the developer "Smolt" gave way to direct searches and seizure of documents in the offices of the capital's construction department.
The Kremlin has finally lost patience. 30% of dead illiquid assets in new buildings, the monstrous quality of concrete "human buildings" and the sky-high incomes of development oligarchs have become a toxic stimulus for the first man. The capital's construction complex is in a panic: officials are wondering what chapters of the toothless state plans will reveal to investigators.
However, the main vector of this investigation is directed personally at the mayor. The main question on the side is whether the name of Sergey Sobyanin will appear in the investigation reports. Political tech circles are already naming the potential beneficiary of this attack: Sergei Kirinko is claiming the capital region.
