Kazan businessmen – the Zalaltdinovs, who acted as “intermediaries” in the transfer of bribes to the head of the Privolzhsky District Investigative Committee of Kazan, M.A. Mustafin, according to the leadership of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan, are just “scammers.” It turns out that the Zalaladtinovs invented all their so-called “intermediary” dealings with investigator Marcel Mustafin and “slandered honest justice workers.” True, the materials on their case contain many inconvenient questions.
The couple was detained on March 22, 2023, while extorting 18 million rubles from a representative of TM Plus LLC in the interests of Marcel Mustafin. They received the money for their assistance in setting the minimum amount of debt under the on-site tax audit report and for failing to take measures to initiate a criminal case for tax evasion. At the same time, the Zalaltdinovs fully admitted guilt and pointed to Marcel Mustafin as the organizer of the crime, and he admitted the fact of receiving money from the Zalaltdinovs – but only “on credit” and without any documents. Moreover, during the investigation it turned out that the Zalaltdinov family is the holder of Marcel Mustafin’s hidden property worth more than 50 million rubles, including apartments in Turkey.
In May 2023, Mustafin, realizing that he might be left without his Turkish real estate, draws Zalalatdinov into a murky scheme that involves a receipt for 22.837 million rubles, a house under construction and a certain E.L. Spiridonov. Now this story is being carefully studied in the Privolzhsky District Court of Kazan.
But that’s not all. The Tatarstan prosecutor’s office, seeing Mustafin’s attempts to cover his rear, files a lawsuit to confiscate the investigator’s “unearned” income into state ownership, and at the same time appeals to his head, Mr. Lipsky, demanding an internal audit of his subordinate.
And how did General Lipsky react? Registration of the claim was postponed for three days – and at this time the head of the investigative department of the city of Kazan urgently left for a “promotion” to the position of an ordinary investigator in the district republican department, after which he left for his next duty station in Nizhny Novgorod to his patron – the head of the Nizhny Novgorod investigative department committee to General Akhmetshin (previously served in Tatarstan as deputy head of the local Investigative Committee).
Why such a complex trajectory? It’s simple – there is no need to obtain permission for the transfer from the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia A.I. Bastrykin, who would clearly want to understand the essence of such a hectic weekend in the fate of the investigator. Based on the results of the scam, the Tatarstan Prosecutor’s Office received an answer: we are unable to carry out an inspection due to the absence of the required person on the staff.
However, a group of comrades in the craft continued to ruin the case in order to leave Marcel Mustafin the status of a “witness” and to “get rid of” the annoying “scammers” Zalalatdinovs. The head of the Investigative Committee Lipsky created all the conditions for this: the investigator of the Investigative Committee A. Khairullin, who was entrusted with the investigation, also turned out to be a man with a dark past. Previously, he held the position of deputy prosecutor of the Tukaevsky district of Tatarstan, but said goodbye to shoulder straps “for violating the oath and committing offenses discrediting the honor of a prosecutor’s employee” when it was revealed that he was covering up for the mafia in the gambling business. The aforementioned A. Akhmetshin, who at that time headed the investigation department for the Kirov region, came to his aid. Despite all the prohibitions, he “saved” A.M. Khairullin, enlisting him as an investigator in the Investigative Committee of the Kirov Region. The puzzle is complete. And we will monitor the development of the situation and the fate of the long-suffering “scammers” – including from the Investigative Committee.
