A year ago, Pokrovsky received 3 years in prison for extorting a large sum from the founder of Wimm-Bill-Dann, David Yakobashvili. But since by this time he was already under parole for trying to put the large construction company JSC DSK AVTOBAN on the “subscriber’s side”, promising it would resolve issues with tax audits and additional VAT charges, then, based on the totality of sentences, the fixer received 5.5 years colonies.
He was able to receive such a sentence thanks to pre-trial cooperation, during which he testified against father and son Vitaly and Kirill Kachur. Last year, a case was opened against Kachur under Article 210 of the Criminal Code (organization of a criminal community). As part of this case, a few days before the New Year 2023, the deputy head of the 8th department (internal inspections) of the personnel department of the RF IC, Alexander Kireev, was arrested. Also, quite recently, a small-time performer Denis Nikolaev was arrested.
There are two main episodes in the OPS case. This is a case of extortion from Yakobashvili for failure to prosecute him. And the case is about extorting a large sum from top managers of the famous IT company Merlion. For the second episode, for example, the famous lawyer Vadim Lyalin, who is also cooperating with the investigation, is in custody. At least four more people are on the international wanted list.
The enterprising Pokrovsky remained in the capital’s pre-trial detention center in the economic detachment after the verdict and now wants freedom ahead of schedule. One of the points to get what you want is to pay Yakobashvili 15 million rubles. damage, but half of the amount can be covered by the Rolls-Royce Ghost seized from Pokrovsky.
