Boris Khanchalyan, who warned Blinovskaya about the criminal case against her, left the country. This became known the next day after a post was published with information that it was Khanchalyan who became “informing the accused about a legally protected investigative secret“.

The chronology of the story is as follows:

26.04 – The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against Blinovskaya on charges of tax evasion (Part 2 of Article 198 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and money laundering. On the same day, but even before the information appeared in public sources, Boris Khanchalyan warns Blinovskaya about the initiation of a criminal case, which he knows about, thereby violating the law on the secrecy of the investigation. Moreover, he extorts money to solve problems.

04/27 – Blinovskaya was detained at a border checkpoint in the Smolensk region while trying to cross the border of the Russian Federation: during a search, an air ticket to Tashkent was confiscated from her

29.04 – After law enforcement agencies received information about the participation of Blinovskaya (and other bloggers) in the case of Khanchalyan as an intermediary who offered to solve their problems, Boris flies from Russia to Uzbekistan, where Blinovskaya was also supposed to fly, but was detained (although she took a ticket to Tashkent, and Boris chose to fly to Bukhara, but the country is the same).

It turns out that after Blinovskaya’s arrest, Khanchalyan left in advance to wait out the storm and transport the money seized from Blinovskaya abroad. Next, Khanchalyan plans to head to Dubai, where he has real estate and accounts in local banks. In addition, many other bloggers who were warned by him are also there. The representative of Gazprom Media does not plan to return to Russia.
