The Cheka-OGPU has at its disposal a transcript of the audio recording of Dziov’s conversation. During the conversation, which took place in 2023, the defendant who fled to Spain explains the reason for his urgent departure from the country and says that active investigative actions have begun in his case. In the conversation, he mentions an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs named Anushivan and a former employee of the capital’s Federal Tax Service, whom Udunyan brought in to resolve the issue after receiving $250 thousand from Dziov.
“Yesterday Anushivan called me, it was Gena who decided through him on this Ignat (victim – Cheka-OGPU). Then Rustam Khazretovich immediately called me and said: “What do you think, is it quiet there, not quiet?” I say: “I think it’s not silence.” He says to me: “Well, I didn’t want to jerk you now, it seems to me that there is no silence there either.” There, he says, someone connected and they started moving on me again.”
The personality of 42-year-old Alexander Dziov, currently the general director of Daltehgaz LLC, deserves special attention. He received his first conviction at the age of 16 for robberies as part of a group of people using violence, and in 2014 he was sentenced to 8 years for 16 counts of fraud. Having been released from prison in June 2019, in September he pulled off a scam for 10 million rubles, for which he was arrested on May 25 by the Tagansky Court of Moscow on charges of fraud on an especially large scale (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code). It is noteworthy that in court the prosecutor’s office opposed the detention of a dangerous repeat offender, citing “information about his personality.” At the same time, in the case materials there was no information at all other than data on Dziov’s numerous criminal convictions.
Law enforcement agencies have already become interested in Dziov’s interlocutors in the above-mentioned conversation, who in the near future may themselves become involved in a criminal case of bribery.
