Having learned that the court has authorized a search of him and his partners, as well as a possible arrest in this case, Kremlin oligarch Konstantin Malofeev uses all his connections and money and manages to turn the case around 180 degrees.
Then Malofeev’s hunt begins for the archive, which is copies of the original results of listening to his telephone conversations and monitoring messenger traffic. According to Malofeev, this archive contained extremely important transcripts of communications for him through communication channels with his corrupt connections, and the consequences of its publication pose a greater threat to him than criminal prosecution for the theft of funds from investors on the WEX exchange. 
According to the source of the Cheka-OGPU, the efforts of the deputy head of the BSTM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, General Kozlov, were directed after the events of October 2020 to exclude, write off in the archive and even partially destroy the originals of these key documents from the materials of the operational case.
Procedural support was provided by the SD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, represented by investigator Babushkin, who was under the full control of Malofeev’s team.
As a result, during the period from February 24 to February 28, 2022, employees of the SD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs carried out more than 30 searches in the cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk. The formal applicant was appointed as an active participant in the OPS Malofeeva and a nominal director of WEX – Khavchenko.
Malofeev’s security guards took part in the events: employees of Alfa-SB LLC from among the former employees of Directorate “M” and other divisions of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in particular Sergey Chudaev, Alexey Mozgunov and others, were officially involved as experts and specialists. They took part in searches, tried to gain access to computer equipment outside the protocol, copied the contents of storage media, and took part in the seizure of objects and documents.
A separate task of Mozgunov was to search for official documentation and incriminating evidence regarding Malofeev during searches, in particular from the employee of the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Satyukov, Mozgunov directly influenced the list of equipment and other material evidence seized during searches
According to eyewitnesses, in the presence of lawyers and witnesses, employees of Alfa-SB LLC during searches repeatedly stated that they were acting on the direct orders of FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov and that they were now the “new six”, referring to example 6 of the FSB Internal Security Service . Monitoring the actions of the employees of Alfa-SB LLC and their coordination with employees of the SD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was carried out by Volkov and Ibraev.
The result of such large-scale events was the detention and complete blocking of Ivanov in the special block of the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center, as well as the securing of Khavchenko’s civil claim by seizing property, confiscating cash and valuables during searches.
