The court also extended the terms of detention for Ushakov’s alleged accomplices who are not cooperating with the investigation – ex-employee of the SEB of the FSB of the Russian Federation Alexander Bibishev and employee of the Counterintelligence Operations Service (SRO) of the FSB Directorate for Moscow and Moscow Region Pavel Krylov.
Ushakov’s godfather, ex-employee of the SEB FSB of the Russian Federation and Department M of the FSB Directorate for Moscow and Moscow Region Anton Kaurov, is under recognizance not to leave the place. He was detained, but he immediately began to cooperate and was released two days later.
All these employees of the FSB of the Russian Federation have been well known in the market for “reshalov” and extortion on an astronomical scale for a very long time.
GVSU believes that Bibishev, Ushakov and Krylov tried to extract three bribes of 5 billion rubles from each co-owner of the Merlion company – Alexey Abramov, Oleg Karchev and Vladislav Mangutov. According to the Cheka-OGPU, having sent businessmen to a pre-trial detention center on fabricated cases, FSB officers, in exchange for the release and cessation of persecution of the creators of Merlion, demanded that they sell the companies they owned – DELTA, Citylink, Tekta Group (the latter was sold) – and transfer all the proceeds employees of the FSB of the Russian Federation.
Previously, we reported that as part of the same case, employees of department M Alexey Tsarev and Sergey Manyshkin (these are “apprentices” to Ushakov, executors of his orders) were also detained. After interrogation, they began to cooperate and entered into a pre-trial agreement. Thanks to this, on November 24, 2023, the court chose a preventive measure in the form of house arrest for both.
