As the Cheka-OGPU learned, the victims in the case against the head of the investigation…

As the Cheka-OGPU learned, the victim in the case against the head of the investigative department for the Tverskoy district of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow, Marat Tambiev, is Mark Bergman, one of the main defendants in the investigation into the hacker group The Infraud Organization. For the amount of $1 million, Bergman’s lawyer Roman Meyer promised to resolve a number of issues with law enforcement agencies, and named the head of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow, Andrei Strizhov, and Moscow Prosecutor Denis Popov as the final recipients of the money. At the same time, Meyer himself, a man who repeatedly changed his last name and everyone knew him as a former employee of the Sixth Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation. Meyer is not just a lawyer, but also Bergman’s partner in business matters. They own various objects in the North Caucasus, which could have been acquired with funds from hacker activities. Meyer also undertook to resolve the issue with the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, which is engaged in operational support in the case.

Based on the materials that came into the possession of the Cheka-OGPU, Meyer extorted quite large sums from his clients, Mark Bergman and Konstantin Bergman (both accused in the case of The Infraud Organization) for “resolving” their issues:
– $1 million US – for transfer to the head of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Russian Investigative Committee for Moscow, Strizhov, and the Moscow Prosecutor, Popov, for the purpose of approving a pre-trial agreement and ensuring a sentence of suspended imprisonment;
– and just those same 26 million rubles for not seizing the property of the company of Meyer’s clients by the preliminary investigation body.
– negotiations were held separately to resolve issues (for an additional fee) with the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

It was no accident that Meyer offered such a wide range of services. Everyone knew him as a former employee of the Sixth Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation. He changed his last name several times in his life. In particular, before Meyer there was Kovalev. And no one really knows what his name was at birth. At least his close relatives have Caucasian names and patronymics.

The Bergmans, who had already been thoroughly “gutted” earlier, filed a statement with the FSB of the Russian Federation.

As a result, all conversations between the lawyer and his clients were recorded by the secret service.

There are many such conversations. At the same time, what is interesting is that there are no conversations between Tambiev demanding that he be given some kind of reward in the materials. As well as records that he promises something to someone or proposes to solve it within the framework of the mentioned case. Based on the content of the audio recordings, it seems that Meyer was not at all a mediator in this scheme, but an organizer and ideological inspirer.

What happens next: while receiving the money, Meyer is caught red-handed. This is what the documents say: Meyer’s illegal activities were stopped by intelligence officers. And here we see an interesting turn – this is what the source of the Cheka-OGPU said:

“During the interrogation, Meyer states (having previously changed his testimony several times why he took this money from his client) that EVEN BEFORE receiving 26 million, he realized the illegal nature of everything that was happening, and not wanting to be a participant in these actions, he voluntarily wrote and formalized his appearance. Of course, this is all far-fetched. He did this AFTER his arrest, in order to evade criminal liability, he himself proposed this version – let me give them now. [деньги] I’ll carry on further and bounce back according to the note. Well, of course, the calculation was 100% like this. “Not wanting to be a participant…” will not work in this case, because… he has already become a participant and his actions have a complete composition.”
