Morales-Escomilla was detained shortly after the meeting with Arkady Rotenberg (at which the affairs of the auto racing team and more were discussed…) and on the day when Tkachev received the rank of major general. Therefore, Tkachev considers Morales-Escomilla his legitimate “prey” and has made him his personal “talking head.”
Magin and Galkin have been involved in Laundromat cases since 2019, but Tkachev’s interest in them arose after the foreign voyage was arranged by lawyer Irina Shoch, close to the head of the DIA Melnikov (both are Tkachev’s people). During the voyage, Shoch met with bankers who had left Russia and offered to provide “assistance to the Russian Federation,” or rather to its individual representatives. Everyone reacted differently to the proposal. For example, after communicating with banker Dmitry Rubinov (also a potential defendant in the “Landromat case”), Shoch, through Ivan Tkachev, received state protection and protection from the FSB of the Russian Federation, and Rubinov received a case of extortion and kidnapping. Galkin and Magin got the Laundromat case.
