According to the interlocutor, the main character of this story is General Sheinkin’s chief financial officer, his eternal “adjutant” Denis Kozlov, who at the time of the events held the position of deputy chief of police of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the ZAO for operational work. He told the generals about the “sweet pie” – a businessman from one of the CIS countries who is engaged in illegal activities on an astronomical scale. And if you “shock” him, he will become a “cash cow” for many years. The businessman’s offices, warehouses and other facilities were located on the territory of the Southern Administrative District, the Closed Administrative District and the North-Western Administrative District, so three generals went into action. And the coordinator was the deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, Igor Zinoviev. All the businessman’s premises were located in the facilities of God Nisanov, which should have alerted the generals – Nisanov is an inviolable person. However, inquiries showed that the businessman only rents premises from Nisanov’s structures, which means immunity does not apply to him. As a result, dozens of operatives raided all the businessman’s premises in three districts, including premises in the Ukraine and Slavyanskaya hotels, as part of some “event”.
And soon Kozlov explained to the businessman the rules of the game and the wishes of the generals. But, as it turned out, the latter’s certificates were erroneous. The businessman was not only Nisanov’s undisclosed partner and friend, but also his distant relative and simply a close person. Nisanov, having learned about the attack, immediately went with a complaint to his friend, the head of the SVR, Sergei Narshkin, and he attracted the FSB of the Russian Federation to the situation, whose employees began to record all the actions of the generals and their subordinates.
When the problem is raised at this level, no connections, proximity to Baranov and Kolokoltsev, or long-standing friendship with the FSB will help. Preparations have begun for the operation to detain Kozlov during the next round of negotiations. All the generals were to go to the pre-trial detention center next.
Kolokoltsev found out about the upcoming event. Usually he “passes his own without any problems. But in this story it was clear that the arrest of such a number of generals would put an end to the future of Kolokoltsev himself. He literally begged Nisanov, the FSB and Naryshkin for a “light” solution to the situation. Three generals and, of course, Kozlov were dismissed. They managed to defend Zinoviev. The case never came to light.
