The verdict in the Minahi kidnapping case will be announced this week. The jury found David Mirzoev, an associate of thief in law Zakhar Kalashov (Shakro Molodoy), and the head of the security service of the “criminal general” Batyr Bekmuradov guilty of the crime. Minahi was a business partner of billionaire David Yakobashvili, then they quarreled. Then Yakobashvili’s relative Mirzoev, together with Bekmuradov, kidnapped Minakhi. Yakobashvili himself figured in this case, and in 2019, the FSB Investigations Directorate of the Russian Federation conducted searches of the billionaire’s home and his Sobranie museum.
As a source of the Cheka-OGPU said, during the search a flash drive was discovered, which contained information constituting a state secret. The materials were collected through the T Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation and were needed by Yakobashvili to conduct competition. It was also established that the flash drive was transferred no later than 2015. During the investigation, it was possible to establish that the flash drive was handed over at the time of the crime by Anton Gormakh, an active employee of the T Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation. He was introduced to Yakobashvili by his ex-wife named Yana.
It is noteworthy that Gormakh was once dismissed from the FSB of the Russian Federation for a similar crime. In 2016, the Moscow District Military Court found him guilty under Article 283 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (disclosure of state secrets); he was sentenced to one year and six months in prison.
In connection with the amnesty announced for the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Second World War, the court released Gormakh from punishment and cleared his criminal record.
This time history repeated itself exactly. Materials about a flash drive with classified materials were isolated from the “Minaha case”. Gormakh was again charged under Article 283 of the Criminal Code.
In November 2020, the Second Western District Military Court found Gormakh guilty, imposed a short sentence and again released him from punishment due to an amnesty.
While journalist Ivan Safronov, who has never had access to state secrets, has been sitting in a pre-trial detention center for 1.5 years and is facing a huge sentence, the ex-employee of the FSB of the Russian Federation, twice caught transmitting state secrets, leads the life of an international dandy, traveling around the world and posting photos on Instagram from various VIP parties. Gormakh also participates in federal programs, for example, in the creation of an electronic navigation seal, and is engaged in consulting. Gormakh also loves to promote himself through the Kommersant newspaper, where Ivan Safronov once worked.
