The defendant in the case of the theft of funds for the presidential residence in Novoye-Ogarevo, Dmitry Sergeev, who was released from prison in the fall of 2021, under the auspices of new curators, is negotiating with a number of customs brokers and owners of logistics companies about working together under restrictions due to the imposed sanctions. To put it simply, he is trying to create one of the largest smuggling channels, which could be “covered up” under the legend of national importance – bypassing sanctions. Here Sergeev will have to overcome tough competition with another St. Petersburg resident, the owner of a large logistics company and a defendant in a high-profile case of elite alcohol smuggling – Anatoly Kindzersky, who never spent a day in a pre-trial detention center and received a suspended sentence after testifying against others.

Earlier, the VChK-OGPU channel already talked about a native of St. Petersburg, Sergeev, a defendant in two high-profile criminal cases about the theft of funds during the restoration of cultural heritage sites (Ministry of Culture case) and the construction of the residence of the President of Russia “Novo-Ogarevo” – Dmitry Sergeev (active link). Despite the severity of the charges brought under harsh Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (criminal association), the punishment for which is 15-20 years, Sergeev received a ridiculous 5 years of general regime. But taking into account the time he served, he was released almost immediately. He began to appear in public places, in particular in the evenings he could be found in elite restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg, despite the restrictions prescribed in the verdict. Many interlocutors of the channel associate this privileged position of Sergeev, among other accused, with the supervision of the Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation, which provided operational support to the criminal case and saw prospects in Sergeev. Dmitry Sergeev gained fame as a brilliant schematizer, who at one time conceived and implemented the idea of ​​making money from the construction of objects of the Ministry of Culture and the Federal Protective Service of the Russian Federation.
