Representatives of Anatoly Sulyanov shared with us the number of the ordered criminal case initiated against
Artyom Lobanov. Thanks to this information, we were able to conduct additional fact checking. 
We are publishing a resolution to initiate a criminal case.
As the Cheka-OGPU wrote, we are not talking about any “schemes of multimillion-dollar thefts, fixed matches and fake battles.” Artyom Lobanov is accused of receiving a commission of 10% from boxer A.M. Baloev, whose agent he was. The total amount of “theft,” as we wrote, is 280 thousand rubles.
Moreover, as follows from the materials of the criminal case, the said amount was spent on expenses associated with the conduct of battles, including logistics and medical ones. If Lobanov’s described actions amount to fraud, then thousands of sports agents in Russia should be seriously concerned about their situation.
It should also be noted that representatives of the Hardcore League no longer insist that “two more were detained” and “a group of people were neutralized.” This obvious disinformation was revealed by the Cheka-OGPU in a previous publication. Now we see an attempt to involve a certain Rakhamimov in the case under discussion, who was allegedly “detained in early February,” but the issue of initiating a criminal case against whom is still “being resolved.”
Since neither we nor the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation are familiar with such an algorithm for criminal prosecution, we will certainly check this information too.
