As the Cheka-OGPU learned, businessman Evgeniy Shitikov, whom the Basmanny court sent to a pre-trial detention center on suspicion of passing on the personal data of Vladlen Tatarsky when an assassination attempt was being prepared, was arrested in the framework of the case of the breakers – criminal detectives of the Department of Internal Affairs in the Tagansky district, which he was the first to talk about VChK-OGPU. According to our information, the case of the detectives from the region was raised to the central office of the Investigative Committee, and after that the entrepreneur was arrested. The investigation is looking for a connection with the bombing of Vladlen Tatarsky. The operations of the “enemy” are directly indicated as grave consequences in the arrest materials, which the Cheka-OGPU reviewed.

The case was initially initiated in the Butyrsky MRSO. Three operatives of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Tagansky district were then taken into custody – Alexander Ponomarenko, Alexander Zakharov and Sergei Koshev, as well as communications engineer of the Department of Internal Affairs Kirill Maksimov. All four filed a confession and are cooperating with the investigation. For now, they are charged with exceeding their powers as part of a group (clauses “d, e”, Part 3, Article 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

In the materials on Shitikov’s arrest, the investigation “accumulated” that the businessman could even be prosecuted for treason. It says that he and his accomplices sold data from closed bases of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which “in the context of a special military operation to protect the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, as well as the increase in other international threats to the Russian Federation, led to grave consequences,” which created “the threat of transferring this information enemy for use in the preparation of other serious crimes against citizens of the Russian Federation.” During a search of Shitikov’s house, records were found containing an algorithm for using information banks of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Also, according to investigators, the entrepreneur hid the criminal income of his accomplices, which could not be discovered.
