According to the Cheka-OGPU, the actions against the Infraud Organization were related to the deputy head of Directorate K, police colonel Nikiforov Boris Yuryevich, the head of the 4th department of Directorate K, police colonel Alexey Alexandrovich Rykov and his deputy, police major Chichin Roman Alekseevich, who were present at the search. there was this group.
Also, the head of the Investigative Department for the Tverskoy District of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow, Marat Tambiev, personally came to search the homes of Infraud members. The department he headed initiated a case against members of Infraud. Tambiev was recently detained while receiving money from the lawyer of the Infraud participants. Tambiev himself is sure that he became a victim of provocation.
An interlocutor who is well acquainted with the situation described the story this way. During the searches, Infraud representatives reached certain agreements with representatives of the operational investigation team. They give access to wallets, then do not pay attention to the fate of bitcoins. In return, they are given a preventive measure that does not involve imprisonment; they can count on a lenient punishment. Indeed, in relation to Mark Bergman and Konstantin Bergman, Kirill Samokutyaev, the investigation asked for house arrest. But Andrei Novak was sent into custody.
However, almost immediately, their lawyer Roman Meyer began extorting money from the Bergmans, declaring that they also had to pay real money (1 million dollars and 26 million rubles) for the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee and the prosecutor’s office, so that everything would end well for the Infraud participants. Then the Bergmans turned to the FSB of the Russian Federation.
